husband is brilliant

we are laughing quite a lot at our house (in between frantically trying to get those boxes that have been standing in the hallway for an eternity cleared out) about husband's brilliant blog camp idea.

you see, he said it a little bit in jest. he was actually making fun of me, taking the piss, as it were.  about my penchant for living a good portion of my life online and not in my own community. i was trying to explain how it felt like a community anyway, but that i would like to hang out and drink wine with my blog friends. which is when he said, "why don't you have a blog camp?"

and now we're actually having blog camp. a short leap from talk to action here on P street. and now some of those people i most wanted to hang out with are coming. here. to my place. for blog camp!

i loved B's post yesterday about her fears about meeting everyone in person, because all of the same thoughts and more had crossed my mind...

1. am i going to be totally different than they expect me to be after reading my blog? 
2. will i disappoint? 
3. am i too fat? 
4. i'm not really that happy with how my last hair color turned out. 
5. what if they don't love the blue room as much as i do? 
6. what if none of them can teach me to crochet? 
7. will everyone bring a laptop? 
8. can i find one of those cool antique swedish folding tables before they come? 
9. will i get those boxes cleared out of the hall in time? 
10. will someone be injured by falling towers of crap in the laundry room? (must keep laundry room door closed--convenient then that it has no handle) 
11. will someone mind sleeping in sabin's loft bed? 
12. will we figure out how that whole stikam thing works? 
13. what if they all cancel at the last minute and i'm all alone?
14. should we come up with a time schedule for the virtual component of blog camp? (i loathe time schedules.) 
15. and looming largest of all--will they like me?
    

so many questions. but mostly, i'm bouncing off the walls with happiness. because it'll all come together. and it's gonna be awesome!!! we're going to laugh so much and have a totally brilliant time. i'm so glad husband had the idea. i wonder if he knows what he's getting into...

Why? Why? Why?

1. The train, plane and train rides will give me plenty of time to get into Eco's Foucault's Pendulum.

2. I love morgenbrød, and am willing to get some from a proper Danish bakery. Pastry alone could some day make me return to Denmark for good.

3. In a tequila induced state of excitement I purchased some plane tickets from Finland to Denmark. Non-refundable, 'cos a girl likes to plan ahead.

4. Copenhagen ranks right up there with drinking lots of wine with awesome people. 

5. I get to separate hubby from his fancy camera and a lens named Big Berta.

6. I flippen know how to knit and crochet. Am versatile.

7. I want to hang out with these people in real life. 

In no specific order, 'cept for the morgenbrød, which clearly outranks everything else.
