Two Chicks In Pursuit of a Babe: Weekend

I'm off to the Big City for a few days of meetings, and then a weekend of hanging out with friends. I'll probably be back online on Sunday or Monday. By then I'll be 10 or 11dpo and we all know what that means .... Crazy Land! Plenty of distractions between now and then, though, which is a relief.
