The Next to Last Minute

[mishalak]

Well here I am all panicked about getting my act together for MileHiCon. Apparently there has been a miscommunication about rooms since I still only have one room, where I thought I had two right next to each other. I've emailed Thea (our hotel liaison, the person that the hotel said I'd have to talk to about the second room) and I need to remember to call her again tonight. If she can fix this I'll have to do something wonderful for her. Any suggestions of what that should be?

My apartment is still not clean. I spent yesterday dealing with all sorts of things but ended up not having enough cleaning time. Maybe I should have put off my haircut until Friday morning. Also the DASFA bookmarks are not done, I'm going to have to see if I can either get them done Friday morning or what. I will have more than enough time to cook the eggs tonight, the difficulty is with everything else. I need to bake some cookies or maybe break down and buy them. I also wanted to make tapioca pudding, but I think that'll just have to go by the wayside. Maybe I'll buy a cheese cake instead. Also I suspect that I am short of eating utensils, I'll have to check when I pack up tonight.

Things to do:
Get Cash for Weekend
Buy milk, eggs, baking soda, and flour
Charge camera
Locate and pack camera accessories
Cook eggs for party
Pack big stockpot (to keep ice in at the DASFA cookie crunch and party)
Finish Bookmarks!
Bake Cookies if possible
Start tapioca soaking if advisable

Tomorrow:
Pack up cooler
Organize Car Somewhat
Get Bookmarks Printed
Buy ice cream and another gallon of milk if needed
Go to Hotel by Noon

Expect updates from me if you see them. I might be away from computer for the next three days.

Don't forget to go to McDonald's order a Happy Meal, and get the alien toy. Don't get the doll. Throw the food away, give it to a bum, whatever, but *get the alien toy*!

Right, this is for Shannon, right?

You sound like me, now, with all those lists. :)

Bookmarks?

Hey, what needs to be done on these bookmarks? Could we lend you a hand with them?

Hey, I just need to finish them and get a sheet over to a printing place. I got a suggestion about changing the working slightly to say when we meet. Then since I have just the one I need to copy the image over and over. Print a good copy and head over to somewhere to print them tomorrow.

Tammy doesn't work tomorrow. If you need help with that, give us another call at home, and she can give you a hand.

Hang in there!

Possibilities for somethings wonderful:

Set aside a piece of cheesecake and deliver it before the party, even.

Arrange for a decent quickie massage -- either shoulders/neck or, if the masseuse knows what they're doing, her feet.

Great suggestions! I'm sure to use one of them.

Have fun this weekend. I look forward to hearing all about it. Wish I could be there too.
