    FLorik - ok hon - it's Friday Sept. 28! . I think the general plan is that everyone is coming back to my house on Friday evening for pj party - or we can also all get together for dinner first and then head over to my house. I really don't mind.
    Are you planning on sleeping at my house too?

    As for after the conference on Saturday, not sure what everyone's plans are. I'd be very happy to arrange something for any of us who live, or are staying in Tampa area that night.
    So gals- if you wanna do something fun after the conference too- let me know!

    I am leaving for Europe on Thursday and will not be back until Sept. 22. But that still gives me a week to plan. LOL

    Hugs and chocolate xxx

    Elaine,

    I hope your trip is an enjoyable one.

    Everyone else going to conference,

    I look forward to meeting you all. I'll bring my camera so we can get a FL girls picture. And hopefully some will be "visiting FL" girls.

    Hi! The conference is at Moffitt in Tampa. To register, you must contact FACtors at Moffitt to receieve an invitation. Choca and Thomcat are arranging get togethers (I think) but choca is out of town for the next three weeks. PM me for more info. Can't wait to meet you!

    Odalys:

    I think choca is suggesting that we meet for lunch on the 28th at The Cheesecake Factory at International Plaza but she will be back on the 22nd to firm up the plans, i.e. lunch or dinner and later in the pm.

    We'd love for you to join us!

    If you're interested in the conference, you can go to Moffitt's website and sign up. Here's the link - http://www.moffitt.usf.edu/ . Look in the lower left hand corner for the FACTORS Annual Breast Cancer Conference and click to register.

    I received my confirmation to the conference. I will be coming into town just as rush hour begins. I know the timing isn't very good but I can't leave any earlier. Anyone coming from the panhandle area?

    They say to arrive early Saturday morning.  Oh, boy!

    Elaine- hope you are having a wonderful time!

    Then it's hot!!! We are still hovering around 90 degrees. But the airconditioning in the conference rooms might make you rethink the tank tops. I for one will probably have a sleeveless shirt on because I am always feeling hot ! The evenings are around 70 degrees. Capris are okay. Sandals are too. I don't know if I would go swimming but you might.

    Hi Ladies,

    here is the plan for the pre-moffitt conference get-together on Friday, Sept. 28:

    Lunch:

    Meet at the Cheesecake Factory at Tampa International Plaza at 1 pm. Please let me know if you can attend.

    Evening:

    Party at my house from about 6 pm on. Everyone invited! I will feed you all - I just ask that you let me know whether you are coming, and if so, what you like to drink! - Let me know if you are coming and I will pm you with the address, tel. # etc.

    Some girls are staying with me overnight and we will head to the bc conference in Tampa early on Saturday morning.

    Our FL get together was great fun.  I'm happy to have been able to meet all the ladies at lunch and more at dinner / Elaines and then also at the conference on Saturday.

     I'll look forward to our next FL pow-wow.

    Jankay; Thanks for the information hon. 

    I just called vicki and mb - they are having a wonderful time. They have a cute pool guy, and the weather is perfect. They wimped out on the tatoos though - they had henna tattoos, not real ones.LOL

    Marsha - we will probably be going over to see them on Wednesday or Thursday. I can do either day, but Thursday would be better for me personally - what about you?  Please send me a pm with your phone number, then I can call you and we can make arrangements.

    Hope everyone is doing well. I am rather tired tonight- it was my son's 21st birthday today.  He finally left my house about 1/2 hour ago and has gone out with his friends to have a good time.  I just warned him NOT to drive if he has had a drink. Told him I'd rather he called me to pick him up, even if it is in the middle of the night.   

    Well, I have yet another busy week ahead of me, so I am actually going to go to bed now - early for a change.

    Hugs and chocolate xxx to all from A-Z
