Today Sue, my friend Cassandra, and I met up with list member Denise, who is in the Sunshine state visiting her parents. We got together at a Cheddar's next to the airport in Orlando.
Denise is pretty dang cool, and if you've seen pictures of her here, they don't do her justice at all. She had excellent advice for me regarding my name change paperwork, voice work, and a ton of other transitioney stuff.
We had a great lunch and lots of stories, laughs, common experiences, and lies to tell. After the waiter started giving us the stink eye for using his table too long, we headed down the street to what Cassie dubbed "DUI Friday's" for some liquid refreshment. Unfortunately, just as we sat down, Denise got the expected call to pick up her friend from the airport, and had to leave.
Sue snapped our picture as we were leaving Cheddar's. It was a cold, extremely clear and bright day here, and we were all blinded by the light (cut loose like a deuce) so I, at least, look terrible. But there were smiles all around.
What a neat thing to sit down and share some time face to face with another sister from Susan's. I hope to meet a lot more of you like that in the future.
Especially you, Laurie. You're now obligated to deliver Qty 1 Hug, Type Warm, Size Extra Large, FOB Steph & Sue's Casa.
