Disney Moms Panel Wannabe/Rejected VA/MD meet! Postponed

[princessmorgan]

Hi!

Some of us on the Amazing Adventures of the Moms Panel thread wanted to have a meet to drown our sorrows in getting a "no thanks" email If you are in the VA/MD area, or anywhere else, too, then come check in and we'll try to schedule a time and place!

I'm Tania and I live in Northern VA

hahahahaha. I love this thread title. I'm Theresa and I live just outside Baltimore.


I say we should either try to plan this before Christmas, or sometime after February, not knowing what kind of winter we may have in store this year.

I agree, since it already snowed in October, who knows what this winter will bring!

So should we say 1st or 2nd weekend in December or March?

Heh, if we do the second weekend in December, that would coincide with the Mom's Panel Training trip. I imagine most of us had left that weekend open anyway...

Hi everyone. Kim checking in. Denise we're neighbors! I live in Fairfax Station, just up Silverbrook Rd. from Lorton. Small world.

About meeting dates...I'm good with just about anything at this point. Except for November as I'm deep into NaNoWriMo and will be writing furiously on the weekends. Also we're going to WDW the last week in February through the first week in March. Other than that I can make pretty much any date work.

I would prefer to get together sooner than later. Let's work off the momentum of our recent news to prepare for 2013

LOL! That's true, if it works for most everyone, I say we do it

Kim, I'm still crossing my fingers for you that maybe you won't be a wannabe since you haven't officially heard you're not in it!

I was thinking that too. It could be like our own personal, slightly less perk-filled training trip

OH MY GOODNESS!!! We still own a condo off Silverbrook near the Burger King and currently rent it out. We bought a house over on the Mason Neck side off Old Colchester Road.

WHAT A DARN SMALL WORLD!!! *singing its a Small World song in the background

I've seen several other Mom's Panel Hopefuls on Twitter talk about doing the Princess Half, so it sounds like you could possibly manage a GTG down there also!

I have never Twitter'd or it Tweeted. Is there a link or direction on how to find this group?

Any help is appreciated

I think that ship has sailed. I've heard from some other people via Twitter that they had the same thing happen to them in previous years.

You know at first, this morning, I was like, "You've got to be kidding. All this waiting and I don't even warrant a rejection? I've gotta sit her forever imagining my poor lonely lost application print out gathering dust under some conference table? The fates are so cruel."

Then I realized, this is the first time I've applied and I did so expecting absolutely nothing. I'm glad to have even made it to round two and there's always next year...and the year after that...and the year after that

No, but I am determined to run the Wine and Dine next year. I just started running a few weeks ago (though I've been walking forever) so I'm pretty sure a half marathon in February would kill me.
