To the original Batman theme: chatta-chatta-chatta-chatta-chatta-chatta-chatta-chatta-NOOGA!!!

Talk about getting off-topic. Suzanne and I talked yesterday about when we could get everyone to meet up in Chattanooga for another girls day out (and lets not forget Daniel, with his Y chromosome!) I told her I would blog it, but lo and behold, once I sat down at my computer I completely forgot what it was I was supposed to be doing. Since I am unemployed at the moment, no particular day is better than another, but if we decide to meet up on a Sunday, 9/28 and 10/05 are out for Suzanne. Let me know what you think!!!

Chattanooga Rendezvous Details

Y'all ready for Chattanooga? I'll be updating this post if there are any new/changed details, so check here for the latest.

First off is the weather. This being the South it could change every five minutes but right now they're saying a slight chance of rain in the morning and sunny and high 80's after that. So bring your sunscreen. And bring your towel because you're going to be squeezing the little kiddies outta those fountains to cool off yourself.

Next, the meeting time: noon (ET, Lisa!) has worked well, so let's stick to that. Whoever gets there first should stake out a spot under a shady tree, then call one of the others and let 'em know where you are. If you feel like it's safe to leave your gear then you can head toward the fountains and wait on the stragglers : )

Most importantly, The Grub: I'm thinking we can organize a picnic pretty easily if the rest of you guys are interested. What I had in mind was each carload bringing some kind of sandwich/wrap/hearty salad/main meal - one for each person in your group but cut 'em in half. That way we can all can share the tasty eats everyone made (or had the Publix deli lady make if you're desperate). If each group will then also bring an accompaniment (fruit, veggies, chips, cookies) we should be all set. I can bring a big cooler full of ice water and some cups. And Janet and Amanda, who are riding with me and Suzanne, can just bring whatever drinks they think would be good for everyone and Suzanne and I can throw an extra sandwich into our coolers.

Sound good? If you're in, post here and also say what accompaniment you're going to bring so we don't get five bags of chips but no fruit or cookies!

Love,
Miz Bossy

30 June - Head for Chattanooga!

If you haven't already heard, another Chattanooga rendezvous is in the works.

Suzanne and Caitlin are coming. Amanda will head down from NC and ride with them. Lisa will be coming as long as her car holds out or Gary can fix it (everyone cross your fingers!). I will be checking with Janet to see if she wants to ride up with me, and Michelle will be joining us in Chattanooga when her friend Emily's mom drops her off after a couple of weeks of hanging out in Lisa's neck of the woods (Emily's family just moved to the Nashville area from these parts).

So, what do y'all think about doing Coolidge Park again? The place with the fountains and carousel? There seemed to be a variety of places to hang out and things to do around there, and we had fun last time. If you have any other ideas let's hear 'em this week so we can firm up a meeting place.
