And probably a need to have a budget built for bail money!!!
Nah. We'll close the gates. You can't get in too much trouble.

I have a bunch of Marriott points. If there's a Marriott property nearby, I can crash there.
I live in in the boonies. But there's plenty of room, trust me. I can almost guarantee you'll have your own room. Everyone did last year.
Um Robin, do you live in a mansion or like the Bates motel or something?
I'm just gonna show up, not show anyone my picture beforehand and see if you can guess who I am? Crap, I bet my stupid Massachusetts accent will give me away. (Plus the pigtails & cheerleader outfit)
Well, if ya'll are going dressed in costume (or in Fabi's instance, just nekkid), then I am totally going to get my werebadger outfit from the dry-cleaners and come in costume too!!!
Leslie wrote: "Um Robin, do you live in a mansion or like the Bates motel or something?"Oh god no. It just has lots of rooms. Like 6.5 full bedrooms, a small office with a full couch in it, and 4 full bathrooms. And it has this wide hallway type thing we call the library that I put 4 full oversized cots in as needed. At Halloween I could sleep at least 30 in beds/couches/cots.

oh, I love flapper dresses. You're gonna look hot in one of them!
Fabi wrote: "oh, I love flapper dresses. You're gonna look hot in one of them!"bahahahah! I'll take hot, but I'm really going for "not a complete buffoon." Someone on IG told me last night there's also a rockabilly party, but I gotta draw the line somewhere. I have the pathetic dregs of my reputation to protect.
Oh! That's not big at all Robin! Thank goodness for the cots!
It's ridiculous. Especially since only 2 of us live here. He never finished anything, just kept building. So when we moved in we had a very big partially finished house. We lived in it for years with concrete floors and sheetrock with the outside wrapped in black tar paper. It was paid off and we had to take out a huge mortgage on it to finish it.
Out in the boonies, by a lake in the middle of Texas! Ya'll know where to come look for us if we come up missing! I read Mud Vein. I know how to get out!! LOL. Frak! Gotta diet now.
It's boonies for city folk. We just got a Sonic and you have to know somebody to get service. We have a Dairy Queen and a McDonald's on the other side of the lake, but that's a good 30 minute drive unless you have a boat.
Mod
Wow--I read Mud Vein and I obviously have book amnesia about that one!
Renee wrote: "Jan--what part of Australia do you live in??"South eastern Australia. I live in a regional (country) area in northern Victoria. Scenery is pretty flat, but the climate is nice (except in mid summer when it's pretty hot.)

Nope. She turned 18 in March and moved in with her biological sister.

I was born and lived in the country until I was 8, we didn't even have a gas station and. The nearest McDonalds is still probably 45 minutes away...but that's Poland for ya!

Michelle and Fabi and anyone else potentially interested in coming this summer. What does 8/2-8/6 look like to you guys?

Really!!?? YAY!!! I promise to spoil you ;) Husbands are totally welcome! My friend Erica brings her man and he's quite entertaining! And my husband will be there! And if you want to bring someone for him to play with that's fine too lol!

Not yet! But Fabi will be here.
I'm kidding! OMG she's going to tar and feather me when she gets here. I think I need to put her in a room that locks from the outside. :D
If the rest of the gals are sans husbands I think I'd like to be introduced with my cray cray alone at first....just in case.
Ela wrote: "If the rest of the gals are sans husbands I think I'd like to be introduced with my cray cray alone at first....just in case."Whatever you want. I know Erica's husband was terrified last year and now he and my hubs are inseparable.

This will give me reason to call her Fabiola, no?
And like I said it's find to bring a play date! There are 6+ bedrooms, but lots of beds. It's like sleepaway camp.

Mine's a brick layer/masonry so it's his prime season. Anyone coming who speaks Spanish?

bahahhaaha. you? pffft.
I'm going to start another thread for the retreat if I can figure it out so I don't annoy the hell out of everyone. But I have menu/itinerary done :D Last year we did theme night's for everyone's books. This year I'm hijacking the whole thing and turning it into one big ass release party. Ok so I can see how this is much more exciting for me...
Ela wrote: "Are you guys swingers? You know, just checking... "*Dies laughing*
Robin, your book will be ready for release this summer???? That's great!!
Although I'm flattered you all think so highly of me *eye roll*The truth is I'm too old and fat to be a swinger (anymore?) ;-) ha! have to keep y'all wondering
Those dates are fine for me Robin.

Oh no. I got you covered! My dad went a little nuts when he built this house. Instead of actually finishing it, he just kept adding on.
