Now that the holidays are over, I think it would be fun to meet up with everyone. What do you think?
ETA: I'm extending this invite to anyone else who would want to join ;-)

I'm in College Station, I'd be tempted to make the drive ;) Not a lot of Central Texas bees!

I would definitely be up for it, but I am trying to get my family healthy (2 bouts of pneumonia in 2 months) so it would depend on when. Please keep me in the loop, though!

@tororojo: We'd love to have you come if you don't mind making the trip down here!
@autumnlove: @Bookworm: You are more than welcome to come :-)

@BabyBoecksMom: Thank you! Sadly, I think it's too far, especially since I'm 32 weeks and my doc has ordered me to stick close...but I hope you girls have tons of fun!

I'm a couple hours south of Houston... I'd have to look at my calender but I think it'd be fun to have a meet up!

@pelikila: @lawbee11: @Bookworm: @T-Mom: @Leialou: @runsyellowlites: Great!!
Would you prefer to meet at a restaurant or do an activity? Oh, and when do you think would be a good date for your schedule?
ETA: And would you prefer for it to include our LO's or just be the adults?
GOLD / nectarine / 2274 posts
If we are bringing our LOs I'd prefer an activity on a Saturday morning but if we are leaving our LOs at home I'd prefer a restaurant.
ETA: If we want to do an activity without LOs maybe something like those painting places like Painting with a Twist. I know they are a little pricy but I did one once and thought it was fun.

@pelikila: Very good point - I updated my question. :-)

@BabyBoecksMom: The painting place sounds fun! Or just meeting for brunch sounds good, too! My LO will have to be included because I am 8w pregnant :)
I am free for the next few weekends. My birthday is Feb. 1 and that's also Superbowl weekend, so that's probably not a good one. But other than that I don't have any big plans in the near future!

@pelikila: I was actually going to offer that as an idea! I've always wanted to do it but haven't had a chance yet.
GOLD / nectarine / 2274 posts
@BabyBoecksMom: @lawbee11: I would say no external LOs then and doing one of the painting places, probably on a Saturday afternoon or evening. I'm good for any Saturday in January.

I don't have a LO yet so I'm ok with anything. I'm available all weekends in January too!

What part of Houston do we want to aim for so we can narrow down potential options/locations?
I live in NW Houston and work in the Woodlands.

I work in The Woodlands but live by Bush Intercontinental Airport
GOLD / nectarine / 2868 posts
I live NE of Houston and also near IAH (about 10 minutes away--but off of 59, not 45). @Leialou and I live in the same suburb and just a couple miles from each other.

Ooh, can I be in too? I live in the Conroe area, but I work in the med center, so I'm used to traveling a lot. DH and I did one of those painting classes once, it was a lot of fun. I know there is a location in the woodlands. I'm also out for the 19th, but can do any other weekend.

Sounds like maybe the Woodlands might be the best choice for as central as we can get and still find a painting place. Take a look at the calendars for Painting with a Twist and Pinot's Palette below.
Painting with a Twist: Doesn't look like they have any of them available on Saturday in January except for Family Day options. http://www.paintingwithatwist.com/woodlands/calendar/
Pinot's Palette: Looks like either the 19th or 26th has some options. With the 19th being out for some of you, how about Vintage Ride on the evening of the 26th? http://www.pinotspalette.com/Woodlands/Classes

I'm probably out for this one, but I will hopefully be up for one later this year.
hostess / grapefruit / 4450 posts
I'm totally in, just hoping that I don't turn into a pumpkin before the end of the class ;-)
@lawbee11: @Leialou: My neighborhood is off of Cypresswood and 1960, closer to 59 than 45. We're all so close!
GOLD / nectarine / 2274 posts
@lawbee11: @BabyBoecksMom: If you (and anyone else that sees this and wants/can join) are definites, then I'll go ahead and purchase my seat for Vintage Ride. Sometimes they sell out early so I want to go ahead and buy it now if possible.

@Leialou: Aw, I'd love to but that's the weekend I have to go to Dallas for a grad school conference! Booo, next time!

@lawbee11: @BabyBoecksMom: @Leialou: @kiddosc: @runsyellowlites: @T-Mom: @Bookworm: I went ahead and bought my seat for Vintage Ride on 01/26 at 7pm (https://www.pinotspalette.com/Woodlands/Classes). I put the a note in the Other Seating Requests section that shows up when you pay that it would be nice to sit the Hellobee ladies together so maybe add a note that you are from Hellobee so they can sit us with each other.
ETA: They called and offered our group a 15% discount so please use code "newyear13" and add "hellobee" to the other seating requests section and you'll get a 15% discount and we'll be seated together. For the person that registered just after me she's going to call you to get you your 15% discount, don't re-do it. :)
hostess / grapefruit / 4450 posts
@pelikila: Doh! I just bought mine before seeing this.... I'll have to call and see if they can still give me the discount.
GOLD / nectarine / 2274 posts
@BabyBoecksMom: I bet you are the one they are going to call back and take care of it for you.
