I just got my refund check and will be booking today!!! Also if anyone has a layover in Detroit we should fly together!!!!!

Yay, I just paid. Oh will anyone be willing to help me out with the whole hotel thing again this year seeing as I am still not old enough to book a room on my own hahah, I will pay you money just need a room to sleep in!.

Okay, so last year I was so incredibly terrified to come and I am so glad I did, because this year I am soooooooo excited to see everyone again, and be around people that get me!!!! So excited!

I just got Megan's payment--she's officially in! And this year will be great, too. It seems like every year it gets better.

Are ww still doing the plate breaking thing?? That would be awesome! Especially after the sweat, id be breaking me some serious plates!!!

i'm down with breaking some plates!

Me too, I would love to break some plates!

I'll also need help with hotel booking please. I don't own a credit card.

Are we doing throw stuff on bonfire thing?? I have some items I wish to burn :) Come to think of it, have no idea why I still have them.. Was/am a little shy about bringing them in case everyone thought I was loopy for still having them. But then remembered where I was going so it eased a little.

I was thinking about painting some words or whatever on a few plates to break but gotta get it all through customs. Don't want to look like a crazy lady, "yes mister customs man, they're for breaking."

You can buy them and decorate them when you get there too probably, we make lots of runs to walmart!

this is gonna be so fun. i've been talking to my therapis about ways to break my ties with orlando. i think breaking plates will be awesome. i am going to start writing some letters to him as well that i want to burn. and some things and feelings he made me feel...feelings i don't want to experience again. i'm gonna burn those too. i wish this was in january!!!

Don't worry about the hotel room Megs. We can do what we did last year ok. Hep if you and Poodledoodle are rooming together, maybe she can reserve one. You don't have to pay for it with that credit card, they just need it to hold the room for you and you can pay anyway you want.

Also, this particular hotel had rooms to book right that day we checked in. I wouldn't want to wait that long but it's always an option. (remember this particular hotel is next to the waffle house :)

I had never been to the waffle house before, but it was pretty good!

I did not make it to the waffle house last year. I hope to this year. It brings great memories to me. It was the restaurant where I got off the highway to go to my university. :) I loved my university. :)

I INKED the time in my schedule...not penciled! Im getting more and more excited everyday...when i talk about it at work my coworkers look at me like i am an alien...they wonder why i would be excited...b/c they have no idea and dont understand like i do that this will be such a healing!!!

finalytime...can you message me the hotel? i'll book the room for me and hep

I have flights!!! I was a little jittery filling out the forms. First thinking I would miss something important and trying to work out which insurance policy I would need (no idea even now but the one that said medical cover sounded good!).

Then I got a big case of the heebee jeebees when I saw my flight would include 2 connects on the way back. I got past that when I read the waiting times beneath...plenty of time for me to harass an airport person into helping me :)

Which concluded with a sicky excited nervousness when I went to complete the transaction. It suddenly became big and scary. Lots of what the hell am I doing, this is a lot of money, im going to get lost on the way, the plane will crash, omg my parents will kill me when they realise what i've done etc etc. - which they won't.

I still feel a little sick now..adrenaline or something. Did anyone else have this kind of meltdown at the moment of it becoming real??
