The Panel is Split

Well, it looks like there are three distinct groups in the Burgh Mom universe. There are the moms who want to ditch their kids and spouses for a lovely time out on the town and there are the moms who don't know how to be separated from their kids and spouses for a lovely night out on the town. Then there are three of you that are like "eh, I could take 'em or leave 'em."

So.

That brings me to proposition #1. How about we do both? We could do a dinner out somewhere in the short term and plan a big shindig with all the families later in the summer (I'm thinking picnic at a park or a Zoo day or something). If somebody can't make it to one event, hopefully they'll be able to make it to the other.

Let's start with planning dinner out on the town. How about Friday, May 23? And, where should we go? Be selfish with your restaurant suggestions. Think of somewhere that you like a lot and that's sort of convenient for you. There's quite a few of you that I suspect live in each other's back yards, but you don't know it. Do consider that we are coming from all over the place, so somewhere that is near a highway is preferable to somewhere deep in the 'burbs.

Oh, and please spread the word. I know for a fact that I'm missing some people, but my brain is fried from sleep deprivation and can't figure out who.

Let's Get Together

I think it's high time the Pittsburgh moms who blog got together. Sure, we could continue to have online conversations that sometimes lead to a one-on-one, but why not just have all of us (or as many of us as possible) get together at once? So, I think our first step is to figure out a good time for such an event. And maybe some of the logistics around it.

Off to the right, you'll see a bunch of polls. I don't make decisions, so I'm going to poll as many people as possible and go from there. It'll be like a democracy or something.

Please sign Mr. Linky below so that we know who all is at least thinking about attending. We'll do a more formal ME! ME! I'LL BE THERE! once we get close to the actual event.

Thanks, y'all!
