I know I had the infinate pleasure of meeting so many of the fabulous Banditas. It was a pleasure, ladies! <BR/><BR/>I also had a fabulous time with my roommates who I first met on line and have become very close to. They are such a positive influence and a constant source of inspiration and support!<BR/><BR/>I can't wait for next year when we can celebrate even more happy "Squeeees"!Santahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770231939962704822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-26653607943324179122008-08-03T17:52:00.000-04:002008-08-03T17:52:00.000-04:00Awe, what a nice post.

Oh, and kicking off those shoes that have been pinching their feet all night. <BR/><BR/>There'll be phone calls home to announce to husbands (who aren't nearly as diligent at keeping abreast of the news as we are here in the Lair). <BR/><BR/>There will be drinks and dessert and lots and lots of picture-taking. This celebration won't slow down until way after midnight when some attendees will take their excitement to the hotel bar and others will congregate in friends' rooms and chatter long into the night.<BR/><BR/>The adrenaline rush is long, high, and lasts forever! I suspect no one will sleep tonight at all!jo robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16824237193217632098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-59847799449504220432008-08-03T01:22:00.000-04:002008-08-03T01:22:00.000-04:00Congrats, Susan!!!YAY!!!!!Congrats, Susan!!!<BR/><BR/>YAY!!!!!Elyssa Papahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01114769833125426437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-80359644983924379272008-08-03T01:18:00.000-04:002008-08-03T01:18:00.000-04:00Yes to all of the Romance Bandits congratulations ...Yes to all of the Romance Bandits congratulations and thanks for all of the fun.<BR/><BR/>Just be careful with the clone GR not sure what might happen to him now!!!<BR/><BR/>With all the wonderful drinks I have had over the past few days I will need tomorrow to rest before I go back to work on Tuesday.<BR/><BR/>Have Fun<BR/>HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984438742736003285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-40014784243819352152008-08-03T01:11:00.000-04:002008-08-03T01:11:00.000-04:00A toast to all our Bandita ladies for the excellen...A toast to all our Bandita ladies for the excellent representation at this year's RITA Awards!
