For the most part, I've got everything arranged now. If you wanna help out, more is always appreciated!

Cash is ALSO appreciated, but not necessary. ;)

Things that are left: the ice (for the brine and for drinks and such), a black ink cartridge for my printer, making the brine, carving pumpkins and the cleaning. Aagh. Oh, and a LOT of cooking.

See people there!

Okay, I did two types of cookies... Kinda two-and-a-half. Peanut butter, with a third or so of the batch having chocolate chips, and the cinnamon cookies. I HAVE to remember to double that recipe in the future- I only got 20! O well. House is mostly cleaned up, though I'm cheating and skipping a few things like mopping the kitchen. I'll prolly ask someone to help out and vacuum the front and back rooms while I do my final runs out of the house. I should be up at the crack of noon.

What's left to do:
Finish the laundry, specifically wash the throws that I put on the couches.

Get buttermilk, the cheeses, AA batteries for my camera and cookie trays (cheap disposable aluminum ones) from the grocery store.

Get rum, beer and maybe something special from the liquor store.

Get MY NEW CHAIR!!!

Move my old chair into my (now mostly clean) bedroom, and replace it with the new one

Clean the catboxes and the bathroom, take out the trash.

Clean MYSELF.

Prep the snackage like the cheese and the carrots and celery, and get the cooking setup laid out for the chicken and mashed potatoes- maybe recruit someone to wash and peel the 10# or potatoes, and dice them.

Rest a bit, then its showtime!

Room 917 in the Westin! The Tea Party will be here! I need a nap! Further bulletins later!

(Tea Party- 5 PM Thursday til I can't stand it or 10 PM... Be there.)

Current Mood: Fuggin' tired.
Current Location: Westin Convention Center Hotel in Pittsburgh!
Current Music: TeeVee stuff.

We leave for the airport as of 3:30 AM Wednesday- its 11:00 PM Tuesday as I write this. I'm all packed up and the taxi has been arranged, all is well so far. :) We (me and

feezlekhan ) will be at the hotel if all goes well by noon or a bit before- not exactly sure when. It all depends on the flights and the taxi. I'm in the Westin, and I'll post locations and times for the Tea Party here when I know more. I've arranged for the attainment of the other party supplies I need (cookies, styro cups, water, etc.), and things are pretty much set to go.

To all who are going, See you at Anthrocon!

The hotel is confirmed, the signs are assembled, and I'll have the money set tomorrow- All I need to do is pack stuff up, for the most part. Just a trip to the store for cat food and socks, and a stop at the bank left. :)

See you all there- We head to the airport at 3:30 AM Wednesday!

Gaah. I'm having trouble sleeping. But at least I've gotten the phone card recharged and the hotel room confirmed-confirmed. I'll reconfirm the airfare now too, then I'll try to sleep again.

I'm not sure if its cos I'm all keyed up for the con, or if its insomnia again. Bleh. Worst case I stay up and get a few more things done.

Current Mood: Awake, darnit

Current Music: none, just a fan running in the background.

...But I got doing stuff prepping for the Con. I've got the signage printed and the Tea Party bag mostly packed, I've printed the itineraries and the vouchers and ticket receipts, and got the suitcase out- I still have to pack and get the signs actually assembled, and a fair bit of other stuff. I'm debating buying a little DVD player for use at cons, haven't decided yet. So far, so good.

Yet to do- Reconfirm the room and tickets, get the taxi arranged, get the money set. :)

Whee! So close...

Current Mood: Decent and awake.
