how about if we throw a huge 2-day seminar on the shores of northern michigan next summer? lots of activities for spouses and kids and a lot of phenomenal networking and speakers/seminar classes.

what do you think??? i know the perfect venue... just give us an excuse!!!

Sounds great! Who needs an excuse?

We`ve got a whole year to promote / schedule / plan / save so as many as possible can come.

Who knows, Jeff may even be there.

Wedding Enforcer here!  :)

I want cookies.  That`s all I want to say....so much so, I`ll say it again.  I want cookies...  But, alas, I must make them if I want them.  I sometimes wish I`d never learned about my food intolerances/allergies...

*sigh*

Cherry Almond....sounds heavenly

Hello, MeLissa. See... they actually saved us a seat... at the Cary Grant table. Can you picture it? Poor Cary sitting there alone... looking like he had no friends... empty seats on the right... on the left.

I feel for you with the food allergies. Multiple allergies can really make life difficult. Carol said the other day, "after hearing what some people can`t eat, just having Celiac Disease is not that big a deal." Her GI doc has said "she has the best attitude of any patient he`s ever had."

The Cherry Almond are my favorite. If they made you feel any better we couldn`t sell them without a prescription.

I feel so sorry for Cary.  But then, if Joel had told you two and me that you were actually invited...like by maybe giving you an invitation or by not saying that you basically had to do reconnaissance to get there...well, I wouldn`t have said a thing! :)  I was just trying to ensure that the bride and groom`s wishes were realized....seriously Joel...trying to make me out to be the bad guy...after all the sensational comments I made about you.  It just makes my heart hurt....see?    

Maybe you could just give me the recipe for the cookies (I`ll sign a waiver and everything!) and I could tweak them to work for me.   I`ve had great luck so far with chocolate chip oatmeal and oatmeal raisin cookies.

Hey, give a newlywed a break!

MeLissa you did us a great favor and we are forever indebted to you.

And don`t worry too much about Cary. At the end of the night I saw him making the moves on Bette Davis.
