Hi fellow friends of quad,
Let's figure out our hotel accommodations for the wedding!
Erica said that she booked one room, which she and Erin have plans to inhabit. I requested sharing this room, Gwyn said she didn't know if she was in it or should book her own room, and Liz and Trevor are planning to be at that hotel but maybe not in the room. I spoke to Erica today, and given the aforementioned set of circumstances, we thought of proposing 2 rooms, maybe one "quad room" for old times' sake (and so those of us who are single still feel special!!) and then a couples'/others room? I'm guessing that Nicky has some special thing planned, but if not, dude, get in a room! Becca, we are saddened to remember, won't be there (*sniff*). What about Erica Tilley? Does she have a room booked yet? If it is only 6 of us (Erica, Erin, Liz, Trevor, Gwyn and me) I'd be fine with everyone squeezing in one room. OH!!! MATT!! I forgot about Matt. Ooh, sorry Matt. (I do love you, even if I temporarily forgot your existence.) So... seven in a room? Or two rooms? Cast your votes!

Reading habit?
I don't usually do these...but I've read 50. 50! And I remember almost all of them. Craziness. I can't believe I ever had that much time! (Also, I think 6 is a gross understatement. I read at least 10 in high school.) What about you all?
