On Friday, my roomie Sue (or, as she is commonly referred to among some of her new friends, “Cape Cod”) reallyreallyreally wanted to go to the Expo Hall to meet Carson Kressley. Though I was more excited about the idea of meeting Tim Gunn, I’m also a Carson fan and told her I’d be glad to go with her. We showed up at the booth at 3:00; he was supposed to appear at 4:00. (Oh, I’m sorry…I guess people were in SESSIONS instead of waiting in line for celebrities. My bad.) Even the women at the Nikon booth (Nikon sponsored his appearance) told us we should go away for a…

Oh…Is There a Convention Going On Next Week?
I hadn’t noticed. Alright, just kidding. I have noticed. I’m starting to get pretty darn excited about it but haven’t wanted to talk about it all the time on the Scrawl out of respect for those who aren’t able to go and those who could care less. I do feel the need to do one little bitty blog post about it right now (and maybe one after the convention), so indulge me this once (and then that second time), if you will. Thanks. ClothingNo, I don’t know what I’m wearing yet. I am no fashionista, yet I want to look nice. I keep reading about these women buying fancy shoes…

How To Walk Your Feet Off In Six Hours or Less
I had an awesome time on Sunday. Kate flew in (and boy, were her arms tired! Ba dum bump!) for a conference in the Chi. When she made her hotel reservation a while back, she called me and said something fabulous: “I got a room with two double beds so you can spend Sunday night in the city with me!” Woo hooo! I excitedly departed religious school early, my class left in the very able hands of my co-teacher, and headed to O’Hare so I could pick her up by 10:45 a.m. Kate loaded her bags into the trunk, got into the car, and hugged me as she asked, “Well?…
