Whew! What a fun 30 days it's been!
Hey guys! Wanted to tell ya about this past month! So many cool things happened to me...

As you've heard, I was able to hook up with Stoogie and Granny-wan in LA at the Star Wars Science Exhibit, which was so insanely fun by the way. I'll never forget the feeling and adrenaline rush I felt when I walked into that exhibit.... I was in awe and truly was a kid in a candy store. One of my favorite things there was The Falcon Experience where you are actually in the Falcon, flying through the galaxy! Pics weren't allowed inside the ride itself but here's a pic of me and the kiddo reacting to some heavy fire!

If C4 is going to be anything like that, I'm in for a very special treat and will surely be on a cloud the entire time.

Stoogie was exactly how I had envisioned him to be. He was funny, nice, and such a great person. His wife and daughter are surely the apples of his eye and I very much enjoyed getting to know them all. Little Hannah Banana and my son were best buds and we have a pic of them together hanging up on our wall at home. Allan keeps asking about her in fact. So cute!

Stoogie and I fulfilled our mandate to find a location for meet and greet as well! High fives Stoogie! Thanks again Deej for coming up with the idea for it! I CAN'T WAIT! It's looking to be a very special time for all!

Granny-wan and Grampy-wan were two of the nicest folks I've met. From the moment we walked into that IHOP and sat down at their table, it was like we were family. We just started right in chatting and mowing on some pancakes! LOL I cannot wait to see them again at C4!

I've had a great time this month as well with my sisters, my Lilwa sisters! We are all squeeing uncontrollably as C4 gets closer! We'll finally have the chance to be together, goof off together and laugh together! It can't come soon enough! Thanks to Mina and Hansgirl for bringing us all together!

I received some really cool Star Wars gifts this month from some of our own very special bloggin buddies! jediprincess77 and JediMelinaWolf made some Star Wars pillows and I got one!!! YAY! I guess all that rooting for da' Bears paid off, eh JP? LOL Anyway I absolutely love it and the fact that you gals made it yourself makes it super special! Thank you, thank you, thank you! (((hugs)))

My blogalot design is done! Special thanks to our very own, very lovely guy, Nobby!

And finally, another wonderful thing happened to me this month. It actually happened to my best friend Angel Baby, but since we are so very close, whatever happens to her, happens to me... good or bad. Angel Baby, couldn't let this chance go by without saying once again that I'm so very proud of you!

Lots a love to all my buds!

Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!


M1968, what a glorious month you had, and I know the upcoming six weeks are going to be just as thrilling as we zero in on C IV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D (I'm not sure I used enough exclamation points! ;))

It touches my heart that you included jp's and my project in there as well. You are one sweet friend. Thank you! :) We had a blast on that secret mission of ours!


See you in six short weeks!

(remember that all-t00-familiar missive: patience, patience, patience! :^O)

well its about TIME you got this blog up! ;)

Just kidding, you know I love you... :D

Kudos once again for finding the Liberty Grill. For those unaware, Michelle not only helped FIND the place but also did a LOT of the go between work for booking the thing; making phone calls, sending emails etc. So she deserves special treatment...buy the lady a drink at C4 if you see her!

C4 is so close now I can practically smell it...!

see you there!

Oh my Maker, would you just quit being so darn CUTE! I can't stand it!!! I still have to wait WEEKS to tackle you with hugs!

We are all squeeing uncontrollably as C4 gets closer!
It's true. My roomies keep trying to get to me to see a doctor about my uncontrollable squeeing...

No need to thank me, silly goose!;) Your friendship has been such a blessing to me. You deserve much more than a pillow as a thank you for that.:x:x:x

We had a blast on that secret mission of ours!
Heehee! We really did!!!

WooHoo!! What a month, indeed :)

I'll never forget the feeling and adrenaline rush I felt when I walked into that exhibit....

I have yet to forget that feeling when I saw the exhibit in Columbus...and it's been almost a year now!! If that's any indication of how CIV will fee...I'll be *high* for a looooong time :D

jediprincess77 and JediMelinaWolf made some Star Wars pillows and I got one!!

Ah yes...the pillow. And that was the best pre-work nap I had in ages (the day I used the pillow). I'm sure my neighbors heard the squee :D

See you in six short weeks!


Holy moly...I really need to get to work on those costumes before the panic sets in ;)

That dang countdown clock on all our pages is starting to drive me nuts! It went so slow for so many months and now it's going FAST!!!! Which is a good thing but makes me panic a bit about having all my ducks in a row!

I'm glad you'll be bringing that enthusiasm to C4! Your report from the frontlines just brought my enthusiasm up to about 125% . . .

And btw, why am I not surprised at your reflections on the STooge? It's good to know thta you really can make a strong impression with that part of yourself you put into words - I had pictured him much as you described him to be.

Why do I have this sneaking suspicion that your feeling of being like a ready-made family will be the norm when we all get together in a few weeks??

See you soon, lady! :)
