Hi everyone!

We could probably get away with skipping today, since most of our members will be on the road after a succesful meetup in Washington....

But, we also have a reputation to maintain. So....here's a free-form blog today. Make something of it if you can!

Well, Good Morn to all "Meet Up" peeps and non-travelers! Ms. Velveeta left for work at 5 AM and I have stepped forward like a nervous substitute teacher to do a Sunday blog. No spit balls, please!

In honor of those of you driving today I give this warning - please don't travel with a loose pussy in your car. You might find yourself driving into a light pole like this poor woman. Odd Cat Accident

Unfortunately the brilliant blog fairy did not inspire me this morning. All I can say is Chelsea Clinton is right now busy flying into our small town. She will be attending a church service this morning, I am assuming she will be speaking. So now, to go over who has come here- Kucinich, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and this morning, daughter Clinton.



Meanwhile, I watched a repeat of Larry king’s interview of Laura and Jenna Bush this morning. Jenna was busy hawking her latest children’s book, way too busy to have any opinions about the state of her father’s low popularity numbers. She gets to live in a bubble world of frozen smiles and corporate merger marriages. I would love to be a fly on the wall after she has a few too many cocktails, perhaps with her father, doh…

I doubt in her bubble world she would worry too much about the returning hold of the Taliban in Afghanistan. The rest of us get to feel helpless with today’s news that Afghan President Karzai just had an assassination attempt by the Taliban today. Karzai Assassination attempt



Ahh, freedom on the march.

That is enough from me, folks.

The good news is that this was a short blog and the even better news is that Ms. Velveeta Jones will be back next Sunday.

Have a safe trip home everyone!

Good morning Aunt Azalea from the hot zone. Phew. In the 80s again today.



Loose pussy in the car. The snappy retorts in my head could have me banned from the blog!



The Meet Up peeps had a chance to meet Pickles and Jenna at a book signing Friday night in DC. I'm sure they're heartbroken.

Afternoon all.

Velveeta was up SUPER early today, for work. So I asked Aunt Azalea to write a blog. Guess, by the time she got around to it, TriSec put up an open blog post.



A well. 2 Demerits for Velveeta (and a whipping).

One hopes the DC revelers will check in with the bloggie to let us know they have gotten home safely. Sorry. Its what we do.

In the meantime, have a donut

Comment by wickedpam on 04/27/2008 21:08:28
Hey ya'll! Being the local I've been home and out running errands for a while now. Everyone left about noon-ish and I have asked them to posted so I don't worry. I ya'll know I will!



Much fun was had, many pixs taken and much drinks downed, I'll even be adding my out cocktail recipe such that it is to the 4F Cocktail/Bar blog (the Malatov Cocktail). I'm so thrilled to have met so many new faces this year and I can't wait till the next one. Seems like more and more are able to make it everytime! I love that! And you know there WILL be a next time. :D





I'm sure more people will be checking in soon unless traffic crazy, not expecting the ATL contingent for a while though. (or in maybe 2 Hours! )





Comment by wickedpam on 04/27/2008 21:09:24
Oh I forgot! MNRN! I love to see you here!



And Al! :hug:

Comment by MNRN on 04/27/2008 21:16:47
hey Mala.....I've been missing everyone and the silliness and flaven. Its like not seeing the last episode of something...

and holy crap have you people got emoticons

Comment by wickedpam on 04/27/2008 23:32:40
We also have these!





Oh and I heard from ShelaghC she's home safe and sound and getting to run errands herself.

Comment by velveeta jones on 04/27/2008 23:37:19
I spoke to Raine around 5 and they were only around Winston-Salem. About 2 hours from me.



So, I wouldn't expect to hear from them before 9:30 or 10.



Welcome MNRN, I saw your post on the mb. I guess people know you from AAP? Glad to see you around. Yes, we do have an affinity for emoticons........... and audio!

:rofl:



And I do so hope that Al pokes his head in here every once in a while. I will continue in my efforts to subvert, er, convert him.



:D

Comment by MNRN on 04/28/2008 00:06:56
yes, velveeta, I was the blog nurse, elder sister of swing state grrl also of AAP.



Audio! Man, where have I been!

Comment by TriSec on 04/28/2008 01:07:33
Evening folks...just poking my head in on the way to the flying field.



I've been having some trouble getting my vintage lady to perform, (see last night's porn post), so I'm going to do some remedial instruction on prop pitch and power management...



:peace:





Comment by livingonli on 04/28/2008 01:19:52
Hi everyone. Home for a little over an hour now. Got home just in time for The Simpsons. Got to listen to Seder on Sunday during the drive home with HBK on the XM machine. I dropped HBK off at home just before the end of the show and got home a little later. I called Mala to let her know I am home and I just had a light sandwich and now I'm just curling up in front of the tube tonight.

Comment by TriSec on 04/28/2008 02:18:37
Back again...no dice on the prop pitch, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any pilots about tonight?



But I did find an Incom T-47 over at Flightsim.com, so I'm downloading that and will be out and about with it in a bit.





Comment by livingonli on 04/28/2008 02:23:34
Can't help you there.



The weirdest thing was Saturday it was in the 80's in DC and when we left today it was only in the 50's. And then I get home and it's only 49 degrees and I forgot to take my jacket with me.

Comment by Raine on 04/28/2008 02:49:49
We have arrived to the Atlanta Desitination! Stannie is on his way home now and should arrived in about 30- 40 minutes.



Heyooo everyone... the ride only took us 2 hours!

Comment by MNRN on 04/28/2008 02:55:01
RM :nice!:



most of you kids are home now, so I can get some sleep

Nitey nite. that 5 am CT alarm is around the corner, well, uh, kind of.

Comment by Raine on 04/28/2008 02:58:26
So we are now waiting to hear from ShAYlegh (See I Said it right!!! ) Hello MNRN! Welcome to the madness







Comment by livingonli on 04/28/2008 03:06:47
According to Mala, Shelagh only took 4 hours to get home. But does anyone know if got home yet?

She got home in 2 hours...







Comment by wickedpam on 04/28/2008 03:17:28
Yep talked to Shelagh right after dinner so it had to have been about 6ish. She was out doing errands while she had the rental. Think I was wrong on the time it took her to get home cause I know she stopped a couple of places along the way, may have been more like 5.



Glad to see it only took the ATL crew 2 hours and that they are all tucked in for the night. Mondo drive safe tomorrow :hug:



And I think Star's the only one still out in the wild world of travel. Hope she gets home safe and sound.

HEya TRI! I know you are prolly alseep, but AHEM... Goodbye Mike Vick, HELOOO Matt Ryan!



==================================The Falcons chose the Boston College star with the third overall pick in Saturday’s NFL draft. Ryan could compete for the starting job as a rookie. He’ll also give the franchise a much-needed new identity.

===================================================



:clap:



Mondo and Bobber have been tucked in, I am very tired and will be heading to bed soon as well.



I hope Faye remembers to do a bloggie tomorrow... I didn't think my brain would be working and I now know it won't be.
