Because I'm an idiot who cannot look at her calendar, I will be late. I have a board meeting in Cranberry until 1pm. Will anybody still be around if I'm horribly late?

Can't make Karen's - I'll be on a plane to New England.

Will put the Cranberry dinner in August on my calendar NOW.

CRAP I can't come to the first two (grad party this weekend and Kennywood in July) but I'm marking my calendar for the August one! As for suggestions: http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&q=restaurants&near=Cranberry,+PA&fb=1&view=text&sa=X&oi=local_group&resnum=4&ct=more-results&cd=1 There are only 2 McDonald's and 2 Burger Kings... heh.

Late is fine, btw. I know I won't be rolling in until 11:30 or so, so we'll be there for a while after.

Karen said...

Can't make the zoo, I'll be at the July get-together and we've got a concert in August. Sorry, concerts trump.

Gina said...

I'm not sure about Saturday yet - we have some stuff going on later that day, so I may have to play it by ear. I definitely will try to work it out, though.

Zoo: possibly. depends on what kind of weather we're facing. Ultimately, I want to come. I'll probably go early and leave early (after meeting who is there to meet). I still have a napper! Thank goodness.

Karen's: will try to make it! Monkey was wistfully saying last night how we hadn't gone to a farm yet. I'm not sure who planted that seed, but what timing.

August get-together: definitely. I'm writing it down now, and DearDR will be designated to "babysit" that night.

ciao,

oh, yeah, suggestion for Cranberry: Mariani's Pleasure Bar. Good food and a nice wine list.

I can't make the zoo, and I am not sure about the July get together. Unfortunately, Somerset is quite a hike for us.

But August? I will definitely be there! I am so excited it will be so much closer for me!!! See you all then!!!

red pen mama said...

Um, I just realized I'm not sure what "little food area" you mean at the zoo. I tend to think of the "one by the entrance" and the "centrally located one". The latter one is bigger, more choices, separate ice cream place. Is that the one at which we would meet?

I get very anxious in these types of "meet up at a certain time" situations. You can slap me later. :) Thanks.

Burgh Baby's Mom said...

RPM--The BIG little food area that is pretty centrally located. Namely, the one that has French Fries, ice cream, etc. I totally forgot about that truly little crappy one, so thank you for asking.

Kim said...

Hey, BurghBaby's mom, can you email me a cell phone number so I can call to see if you are still there?

Susan Helene Gottfried said...

I have to miss the first two, also. Tomorrow because the kids are having a sleepover tonight and are already worn out from last night's dance recital, and July because I'll be at Cub Scout camp near Nemacolin. Last year, I threatened to bug out and go to Nemacolin when the weather got bad. This year, if the storms are that bad, I'm having company.

As for August, I'm afraid to look that far into the future right now. I think I'll be camping in Cook Forest with the Cub Scouts.

Crap. I'm eager to meet you guys.

But a great place in Cramberry? Mad Mex. There's also Ichiban if Japanese gets a vote. The North Park Lounge Deckhouse.

see a trend? No chains (well, Mad Mex is big burrito, but at least it's Pittsburgh-owned).

Allison Says said...

Obviously missed the Zoo :( So sad about missing that adventure.

Will do my best to make it to Karen's! I think I should be able to, and I'll convince Zach to come. Alex of course will be there if I am :)

August sounds very likely, too! Something could always come up (friends in town, me out of town, etc.) but I don't think it will.

Looking forward to it all!

Susan said...

'kay, I'm planning on the 26th and I think August will work, too. Then again, I can't think beyond 30 minutes from now, so who knows?

No, seriously, the kids and I would love to come out on the 26th...and you can be sure I'll do my darndest to meet up with the moms for a kids-free night around here.

Beth from the Funny Farm said...

I can't think beyond 30 minutes either! I know I can't do Karens, although I would love to.

Friday night, in Cranberry, I'll be there AS LONG as my hubby is able to drive my rig to the show on Saturday. Otherwise, I'm heading to the show Friday night so I have room to maneuver!
