NASA Tweetup FTW!

10… As I recently complained, my dear, darling husband convinced me to join the Twitter revolution.
9… Intrigued, I started following some of the same geeky people and groups that he follows.
8… I started following NASA, because, hey, it’s awesome! And, that’s geeky goodness for the whole family. And, we live close enough to actually see the space shuttle go up in the sky.
7… Husband told me about a nifty thing called the NASA Tweetup.
6… Husband explained what a “meetup” was, then I made the intellectual leap to figure out what a tweetup was all about.
5… Husband and I got online, at our respective computers, at exactly the right time, and typed furiously to try to be one of the few chosen NASA twitter followers to be honored with a spot at the tweetup.
4… We were both placed on the waiting list.
3… We were resigned, and disappointed.
2… About a week ago, I received an email informing me that A SPOT HAD OPENED UP FOR ME!
1… I am going to the NASA Tweetup!! It is THIS Sunday and Monday! Woot!
All systems are go for launch! I am ready for ignition! I can’t wait to liftoff! And, also, I am ready to use any and all space program puns to bring you this Homeschooling Mom’s experience!
Be advised: I am a lower-level geek. I do not have the EXP to report on this stuff from a scientific perspective. I am *just* a space-loving fangirl mom who has an awesome opportunity to experience, observe and report. Don’t expect a technical discussion, people. Do expect some humor, and more than a few embarrassing moments for yours truly.
And in that vein, would someone please tell me what to wear? All my scientist lab coats are at the cleaner’s! 
And P.S. Thanks sweetie! This is all thanks to you!
