I'll Be the One With the Clap

later on today i'm meeting wendy and elisa for lunch.  see, we figured out that we all work at the same place ... kind of.  well wendy and elisa do and i kind of do.  but anyway.

so since i am meeting them for the first time, i decided to read up on wendy's tips for meeting to knit bloggers.

tip #1 -- you can never be too careful, wendy writes.  tell people where you are going/who are you meeting.

i'm not too worried here since we'll be meeting in a public place.  of course there will be two of them versus just me, but i'm a big girl and unless they tie me up with double strands of red heart i should be just fine.  just in case, i'll be sure to leave a note in my office that says "out to lunch." 

tip #2 -- when meeting the stranger, be sure to give a full description of yourself.

i'll definitely let them know what i look like.  although they should have no trouble recognizing me by the many photos of my eye posted on my blog. i am also much slimmer in person.  the camera adds 10 lbs to the size of my head.

tip #3 -- carry a sharpie (not a sharpei -- which is what i first typed).

i always carry a sharpie.  in fact, i carry several.  we science types love the sharpie.  i'll ask them to sign my belly though. 

tip #4 -- beware yarn store attacks

i'm not worried here since we won't be anywhere near a yarn store.  however, i promise not to pelt them with cadbury creme eggs from the nearby drugstore.  unless they want me to.

tip #5 -- be prepared to be amazed

i hope they like me.  i can be quite delightful in person albeit a little snarky.  and i will try to eat off their plates.  i hope that's ok.  they can eat off of my plate, unless i'm eating chicken wings.
