Sorry gals, I spoke too soon. Aug. 21 won't work for me. : (

How does your Sept look? Any particular dates anyone wants to throw out there?

No problem! My September hasn't been scheduled yet, so that should work.

Are Saturdays good for everyone or do we want to try for a weekday evening?

There would be no way I could make it to Austin during the week. Every Sat in Sept is good for me except for Sept 4th. Looking forward to this.

Hi ladies, I've been on vacation and now am back. A Sat in Sept should work for me. We don't plan too far in advance. AJ, my oldest is a 6 yr old girl.

Well let's get a date down on our calendars and if we need to adjust then that's no problem. DebbieK can't do Sept. 4 and I can't do Sept. 25.

How about Sat., Sept. 11?

September 11 would be fine for me.

That will work for me.

Sounds good.

Just waiting for you, Sarah.

Sorry! Yeah, that should work.

Yeah! OK, how about Barton Creek mall since that will be the easiest and closest for DebbieK to get to. Plus, with this HEAT I don't want to be at an outdoor mall!

Let's talk time frame...DebbieK, what will be best for you since you have the farthest to travel?

Pick a time that is good for all of you and I'll be there. I blocked off the whole day.

Well, we're in September now, so let's get a time decided upon for our get together on the 11th at Barton Creek!

Will we just shop or do we want to plan around food as well?

Sarah, I think you mentioned that you have time restrictions on Saturdays? What time would work best for you?

I'm still up for the 11th! I can meet anytime between like 11 and 3ish.

I'd love to join you ladies if you have room for one more.

Donna, you MUST come and join us! The more the merrier!

Sarah, 11-3 got it.

DebbieK, how early can you get to Barton Creek? Anyone want to get there when they open at 10am?

Thanks AJ! I'm excited and really looking forward to meeting everyone.

I will be coming from Houston, but whatever time you all decide will be fine.

Have we decided on a time yet?

I can be there anytime just let me know!

Well, since Donna is traveling the farthest, let's meet at 11am at the Nordstrom's shoe department. We can shop for a couple of hours and have lunch then shop some more. Does that sound good?

Any preferences for where to have lunch?

Also does anyone have a good camera and willing to be our group photographer?

That sounds like a plan, AJ. I'll leave the lunch recommendation up to one of you ladies since you know the area.

Would someone be willing to exchange cell phone numbers with me via PM so in case I get lost I can make contact?

I guess I missed the time planning portion. I'm not sure I can make it till after lunch. My daughter has a birthday party at 3:15 and I was planning on having dad take the kids and drop me off with a little pre-birthday daddy time as well to give me more time. How long do you think you will all be there? I can also bring my SLR camera although my photography skills are not the best. If 11-3 is the time, I can still rearrange probably.

I'm pretty much free all day, so whatever time works for people would be fine with me.

Patience - So you were thinking of getting to the mall around 3? Sarah mentioned that she had 11 - 3 available. I'm willing to make a whole day of it if anyone else is interested in staying longer.

DebbieK and Donna, how long did you want to stay?

Patience, what time can you get there? I could stay later than three, but really need to be home in the evening as we have plans.

AJ, should we all PM you our e-mail addresses and we can hash out the final details and exchange number that way?

I'm hoping to be there at least by two. I haven't finished working out plans with my husband so we'll see if I can manage any earlier.

I'm good with 2. That will give me a chance to swing my car by the shop. Boo.
I just have to leave by 5:30ish, so is that okay? I'm sorry for changing on you!

Well I'm still willing to meet at 11am if DebbieK, Donna and Ana would like that. That way we can also enjoy a leisurely lunch and chat away. I don't get to shop at Barton Creek too often, so I can spend all day there. Hee-hee!!

We'll save Nordstrom's for when Patience and Sarah can join us. Is there any other store you two would like us to save for you?

I got DebbieK's number. If anyone else wants to give me their number, please PM me.
