I've never gone skiing (I have a massive fear of snow and ice), but I hear it's nice there, you should enjoy yourself. The weather is also supposed to be really nice this weekend, too. Around the mid to low 40's, I believe.

yum, yeah....the ski trip kinda sucked. I hate skiing. Falling down is no fun and I am old enough to know that I can get hurt. Having a few days off from work was nice though. ..I needed the break. Now if I could just get a few snow days!

How is everyone? Any V-day plans? The ex is coming up here for the weekend...not my idea. We will see how that goes.....:eek:

I went up to Snowshoe in WV last winter, although I didn't get to ski because I had just had eye surgery and the doc said no (but that was A-OK with me, because I hate the cold and I hate skiing, but I love sitting in the lodge where it's warm!). It seems like a nice place from what I saw of it, which was just the restaurants/entertainment areas...our lodge was pretty neat (as in clean), so I was happy.

This has been one of the most stressful weeks to date. I am glad it's over!

We are pinning four new members Sunday afternoon. :D I am very happy about that!

Hi ladies!! Sorry I've been MIA... I've been bust with school and then my computer got all messed up.

I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day! I spent it by myself... BUT my sweetheart IS going to be in town starting next Friday!!! (yay!!!)

Amy - I get upa t 5 (ok.. so its like 5:20 by the time I'm finished hitting snooze and actually get out of bed) because of my snooze habbit.. and because my roomate is up then too (we teach at the same school).. plus, school is about 45 minutes away. We need to be there by 7:30.. so we leave at 6:40 :)

Anyway.. I have some papers to correct!

<3 Ya Ladies! :)

UHHH....I am soo sitting at my computer trying to go NB work and its not getting done. The most I have gotten done was while I was skiing. I actually did work while I was gone, mostly cause I didn't want to ski. 2 1/2 months to write about 60 more pages and video 2 lessons. Anyone want to help? Not to mention I started coaching soccer today.

How was everyone's V-day. The "ex" or whatever he is came down on Sat. First time we have seen each other since Dec. Things went pretty well, like they always do. We did kinda get hot at each other cause my guy friends were calling all the time. They are just friends, and most have girlfriends...his point was he didn't drive 3 and 1/2 hours to have me on the phone with a bunch of guys. Guess I might have been a little rude and he may have had a point.... Long distance on/off relationships suck...anyone got any suggestions? I did buy him a V-day present...considering I dated him for 4 years. We won't talk about what I didn't get...other than he did drive down (I didn't ask him to) and take me out. My guy friend ( :D ) is back from living in Europe...we are going to dinner this week!

Ann Marie- Hows teaching? Anything exciting yet? I was cussed out by a kid the other day. Told me he was going to knock my G.D. teeth through my M.F. mouth...that I wasn't his momma, I wasn't going to tell him what in the H. to do. He has a 10 day vacation! I haven't been very good about waking up lately. I was getting up at 5ish and going to the gym before my ski trip. I had been very good at it too! Now, I can't get out of bed to save my life, much less make it to the gym. If I don't go in the morning...I don't go. Do you have President's day off? We have a workday this Friday and were suppose to have Monday off, but have to make up our lone snow day. I am going to work a 1/2 workday and go to the sugar plum and make some "real" money.

AchtungBaby- Our condo was awesome at Snowshoe! We stayed at the Timbers on top of the mountain. Hot tub was the best part! I don't really care for skiing either. We never went out to eat (thank goodness since we spent close to $400 at the grocery store before we went up the mountain.) and never went to any clubs. I did go to a few bars during the day and grab a drink. Starbucks was nice too! On Wed. everyone wanted to ski after check out...but not me. I went to The boathouse, a bar on our slope, and did National Board work all day. We left a little after 4 and did not get back to NC until 2 AM. Its sucked. I woke up and had to be at school at 7:30! All and all, Snowshoe was nice.

Alrighty, my book is complete now ;) I'll have to start replying more often to keep down on the lenght! Hope everyone has a great week/weekend! I'm off to VA...mom is having some test done next week. Keep her in your prayers if you would!

Two of our new members didn't show up for New Member Ed tonight :( I also managed to lose a very important paper that is due Sunday. Tonight is not going that well.

[B]HI!


We're not talking about going to Vegas with a few friends and some family and getting married there.. then coming home and having a huge party. My parents said they would give us $6,000 to do that. (We'll see)

Hi Ann Marie,

I'm new to GC as of tonight, but know many of the ladies posting here from Surfing Sisters. I hope this post turns out right. :)

Please excuse me for stepping in to your wedding coversation, but my husband and I did just what you're thinking about doing and highly recommend it!

We took 11 people (13 including us) from Michigan, paid for their airfare and hotel for two nights at a hotel on the strip, had our ceremony at a hotel on the strip, and paid for everyone's dinner (our version of a reception) at a steakhouse, and had cake and champagne in our Suite for well within your budget. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!

I'm not a wedding planner or anything like that, but if you have any questions or anything, feel free to PM me. :)

Hi Jennifer! You're more than welcome to jump into my wedding talks..hahahaha.. I love ideas and suggestions! :)

We actually booked a reception site, so we've moved away form the Vegas idea. It sounded really good for a while.. but I have a large family, all of which I am extremely close to, so it would stink only begin able to take some people.

I actually planned my parents re-wedding (they split up and blah blah blah..got back together.. long story!) for Vegas and we had a BLAST.. I loved it. It wasn't cheesey like I thought it would be.

Quesiton for you then.. did you incorperate Delta Zeta at all? My Little is one of my bridesmaids, and I'm trying to figure out how to do something special for her, related to DZ. My colors are purple, yellow and accents of silver (the hubby wouldn't let me do pink&green..hahaha :rolleyes: )

I can't wait to get to know you and I'm glad you're here!! :)


I'm wicked excited.. we have a snowday today.. man, I love New England ;) Though this sucks for my planning. We were already 2 days behind due to snowdays/delays/early release days.. grrrr! We have vacation next week and I'm supposed to start WW1 on march 7th (when we get back form va-ca) We're wrapping up the Reconstruction Era of the Civil War now:eek: I'm stressing a bit!


I can't believe I forgot.. we booked the Reception!! Here's a picture form the outside...

Ok.. time to get out of the "bum" state and get showered and dressed!

Talk to you all soon!! I hope classes and such are going well!!

XOXOXOXOX

Pixell, way too goo!!!! Congrats!

Nothing much here...working (or trying to) on my boards! 30 days to go. I am thinking about skipping the country if i can't finish them in time. Does anyone know anyone in Canada i could stay with? ;)

Anyway...time to eat dinner and continue my work!

*claps* Congrats!! How exciting!

Blah Blah Blah....thats how I feel!

I really think I am going to lose it! Beware, I am getting ready to vent!

I have a school bus license ( cause I have to drive my soccer and v-ball teams to away games). Well....I fill in for bus drivers when they can't drive occasionally. A driver quit ( but she never drove on a regular basis) and I have been running that route. This has been going on for over a week, with no end in sight. Getting up at 4:45 AM is hell. I have not been able to go to the gym because by the time I drive the route, teach all day, and coach soccer, I can barely keep my eyes open...much less work out for an hour. I am not getting any work done at home because i am going to bed at like 9 PM. So, I feel fat, my apartment could be condemed by the health department, and needless to say, my boards are not getting done. (they are due by the end of the month!) This is soooo not fair. I want my old routine back! :mad: Granted, I do get paid extra (like maybe $7 a day), but it is sooo not worth it.

OK...the weekend is almost here. Hope everyone has a fun, relaxing and safe one!

Amy - *HUG* :D
