I have my checkbook out and am anxiously awaiting the announcement thread. Since election day I've worked a lot of overtime so I can buy tickets for my daughter and her best friend - as an early HS graduation gift to them. They already have their ball gowns. Mom on the other hand is still looking for one. (I hate shopping)

LisaFab, I salute you for not being a ball gown procrastinator like me. We are gonna have a great time, Lisa! Will Ed and Daryl be coming down, too? It'll be great to see you all again!

I'm sure you'll find something great. A friend of mine owns a bridal shop so I didn't have to look far and wide. Probably the only purchase I'll ever make there :-)

Darrell is coming and foot-Freeper Ed is 90% sure. We're also bringing a couple that was with us at the last ball, plus a cousin of mine who's never been to DC.

Has the 'daughter of' selected her school yet? The invite is still open should your trek take you through CT.

Oh come on! The first few trips are only reconnaissance!!
