I am very excited to be able to host a mini peep meet! Sept 8 at my house! We are expecting around 7-8 peeps to join us.
I was a little worried at first. I didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea. Kim & I were talking about this some time ago, and how it would be fun to get together with peeps in the area, and it just spawned into this meet. But I guess if anyone is offended, that is their problem, not mind. I opened it to everyone who might want to come anyway.
So I was trying to decide on some food to have, and was at a friend's house. They asked why I needed some ideas, and I explained I am meeting a bunch of people I don't know. Gave more details, and that we had invited them to spend the night in our house. My friends were appalled! "You don't know who these people are, they could be axe murderers" and "Are you going to hide all your valuables". At which point DH piped up that we don't have any valuables, well, except the kids, and if they stole them they would have to drive them to swim practice 4-6 times a week, so in the end they wouldn't take them anyway. I had to LOL. DH, the one who was very opposed to meeting anyone from the box. Now, after having met PRE, Wallflower, EMTBGirl and Brown Roach, he is looking forward to meeting more!
One of my other friends, who has met peeps online through a sheepshead site, warned me about the reactions of our other friends. And they did reference him as well, that we were as crazy as him.
I'm so happy that I am not as short sighted and closed minded as some people I know! Getting to know my online friends, even if it is just online, has greatly enriched my life, expanded my horizons, and really helped me to see things from different perspectives. Also to see how truly blessed I am.

I'm offended. *stomps out like Jan Brady*
*grin*
Have a great time. I know that you will.
You would have gotten more points in my blog contest had you sent me a written invitation. Hrmph.
I did! You posted on the thresd and everything! Isn't that written?
And didn't you diss us? So what if you are going to Canadia at the end of Sept. 2 flights would have given you more frequent flyer miles!
Hmpf.
A sheepshead site? What? They discuss sheeps heads? That's just weird. *grin*
I think our other friends probably roll their eyes at us when we talk about meeting peeps. Whatever. Their loss.
Sheepshead site? *SNORT* I don't think I want to know what that is all about.
Yay for your peep meet. I hope you take lots of pics. We're so fortunate to have all met up at OT. I've never met such a great group of peeps and it's amazing how comfortable you can feel with the people.
