Hiya Louise!

Welcome back!! I'm back too from Greece! But leaving for the States in about a weeks time 

I came back from Greece with a stuffed nose and a sore throat too, also not being used to air conditioning  It quickly passed though, hope you are able to shake it soon too 

I'm so happy to hear you gals had a great little Slash weekend, sounds like you had a real nice time!

I was able to keep up with every chapter while I was in Greece, thank God!

Hi everyone!

Long time lurker, but I felt I should pop my head up and say 'hi.'

I'm wannabebrit over at LJ, and I've been following Louise's wonderful story for a while.  Most of the time, I am providing comments over there, but you folks seem like a hell of a nice group, so I thought I'd just introduce myself.

I'll just jump in and say that I don't think Jess and Ben aren't brothers - Joe seems real proud of Ben, and if Jess was his son, he'd mention him too.

Looking forward to chatting with you all! 

Hi alexisg!

Welcome!

Greetings from Newark Liberty International Airport,

Here I am, many hours after I said goodbye to Louise in the back of a taxi outside of Euston station in London. The train trip to Birmingham and then the flight here to Newark were both uneventful, but long. Next stop, Boston, Massachusetts and then home.

Louise and I had a fun little slash convention, hanging out, talking, writing, munching on snacks and rousing ourselves once in a while to go out to eat a real meal. While many would have been bored to tears, I had fun.

Back to the real world tomorrow...sigh....

Louise's Reliquary

Thanks to everyone who contributed to Louise's Reliquary. It ended up with an interesting assortment of items, many of which got Louise to laugh out loud. At first she was sort of like, "Huh, what's this?" but as it sunk in, I think she appreciated the joke--and will probably laugh more as she looks at it again back home in Germany.

Thanks again everyone.

Leslie

you know, when you start listing people who have been adding to the discussion here, in list form, it becomes more and more noticeable that there are a lot of people reading!  *thanks everybody!*

I just had a deep and restful nap and have just taken some medicine left over from my last bout of bronchitis and keeping my fingers crossed that I haven't come down with THAT again.

Hi Leslie *wave!*  Yes, I didn't mention how pleased and amazed I was to get all the reliquary items that so many of you sent that were waiting for me at the hotel, and yes indeed, I did laugh out loud!  But my first priority was getting online and giving an update so that you wouldn't go without!

I may not be able to go into work in six hours, but we'll see how that goes.
