Rose:I got to sleep in this morning until 10 :eek: !!
Thorn: I've decided NOT to have a thorn today.. I'm just happy to have my family and friends. :)
Bud:I get to see my boyfriend on SATURDAY! And he bought me a present.. I wonder what it is?!


in addition:
Lastnight, my friend's wake was actually really nice. It was more like a big party. There were smiley face balloons and stickers everywhere (he was VERY well known for always smiling and always making others smile alone wiht always wearing a smiley of some sort) but it was hard to see HIM there. But its ok, there's closure and the real healing can begin.
Thanks for all of your support and love this past week. You all eman the world to me (and I mean it!!) and I am lucky to have such wonderful women to call my SISTERS! :)

Rose: I'm having a great day for once! Had time for both breakfast and lunch today. Spent time with the boyfriend. And one of my favorite sisters is back in town for a few days and she came by the lab to see me.
Bud: I get off of work in about 40 minutes!
Thorn: People have been blaming me for stuff that's their fault (like NOT having a student email account) all day. Grrr.

Big rose: I'm off to Maryland for 2 weeks in about 2 hours!!! YAY!!! :D
NO THORNS!
Bud: I get to see my boyfriend around 8 tonight! yay!! :)

Have a great 2 weeks ladies, I'll miss ya'll! (I don't know if I'll be on or not)

Rose: I was productive this weekend! I unpacked and did dishes...still need to do laundry though
Bud: I'm excited about the wireless network I'm about to setup for the apartment.
Thorn: It's really overcast and might rain :(..which sucks since I walk to work.

ok...I'm new to this, but it is so much fun to read :D

rose~ I saw Tim McGraw in concert last night with an awesome guy!

bud~ We have girls night out tomorrow night...Stepford Wives!

thorn~ I saw my ex-boyfriend at the concert last night and it was really strange...I just wonder what goes through his head!

I'm still trying to figure this color stuff and signature stuff out! :mad:

so not going to die.. ;)

Rose: IT'S FRIDAY! :D

Thorn: Only 2 days until another LONG week :(

Bud: Tomorrow is my cousin's graduation party (its a bit late :p) I'm excited to see him and hang out :)

Rose: Went to a movie with my awesome big sister last night. I don't get to see her often, but I'd rather have her than anyone else as my big!
Thorn: My brother went home on Sunday :( The apartment's really quiet without him.
Bud: Made plans to hang with the big next Monday too!

Rose - the ex and I are working things out....:D Things are looking good!

Bud - payday is right around the corner and this weekend is "tax free" weekend in NC

Thorn - Today was my first day back to school. Students did not have to come today and neither did I....MY SUMMER IS OVER!

Tax Free weekends?!?! Huh?!?!


EVERY day ending in "Y" is a tax-free day in New Hampshire... ;)



Rose: I ordered the soundrtrack to The Lion King (Orig. Broadway cast) lastnight and it was shippied today :)

Thorn: Another rainy day at camp :(

Bud: I'm going to look at a potential new car this weekend.. wooohoo!!:)

Tax free weekend is something NC start a few years back, I think (I'm not orginally from here) During that weekend, you do not get charged sales tax for clothes, athletic equipement, school supplies and computers. It really doesn't help out unless you are doing a ton of shopping. The clothes has limit of $100 per item, so that knocked out those Citizen for Humanity I wanted!

Texas' Tax Holiday is August 6-8 this year.
Details
here

We don't pay state income tax, so sales tax is a major source of revenue for the state & localities. You probably won't find any great sales or anything on the tax holiday, but if you want to "stick it to the man" that's one way to do it!

Rose: I found out today that one of my sisters (the President, a pledge sister of mine, and my closest [other than my lil] sister) is going to move into my apartment with me for about 2 weeks starting next Saturday. WooHooo!! No more creepy lonely apartment! :)

Thorn: I broke my toes yesterday.. so that sucks :(

Bud: Only 9 days left until I move back to PSU! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

roses: my best friend bought a guinea pig for her classroom and i get to keep it until her school starts....her parents won't let it in their house and she still lives at home....it is really kinda cute! I also got my hair cut/colored today and it looks awesome!

bud: its almost friday! I think i am going to my parents house for the weekend. Also the Band of Oz plays friday on the lawn!

thorn: (1) school started today...as you can tell from my post in other areas I have a hard time where I teach. (2) the ex is being a complete dick...might as well throw 4 years that HE wanted to work out down the drain...I am losing faith in long distant relationships or relationships in general. (3) even though I have been out of school for almost 4 years now, I still get homesick every once in a while and want to go to my parents...hope I can manage it this weekend. (4) I registared to complete my national boards today and now I am really scared about it.
only 179 days left in the school year and 26 more years until retirement!

sorry for all the thorns...its been a rough day!!!!! :(

rose: I hung out with my big sis on Monday! Yay :) And lately there's been more DZs in the labs, which always cheers me up.
bud: kind of looking forward to school starting and all my friends coming back :)
thorn: my older sister and my best friend graduated in the spring, it's going to weird without those 2 girls. :( I'm taking a heavy courseload which means I'll be stressed out...grr :(

Bud- This weekend I am going to Philly and New Jersey for a really good friend from high school's wedding :)



Congrats to your friend Amy!! :D Can we say 'legacy'? hahaha ;)

I know...I am sooo excitied. I am going out this evening and shopping for her! My cell phone is in my pocket, waiting to hear what the name is! She called me around 11 and said that she would name it after she saw it. Can you imagine, 9 months of preg. and having no idea what you are going to name it....thats Steph for ya! I could give her a few suggestions off my baby-name list! Anyone seen any cute turtle baby stuff?

I work part-time at a catering business also. GREAT money! I try to work every Friday afternoon. Working there/eating there has been part of my "i want to lose weight" problem!

I know Carter's (the baby line) has some cute summer clothes that have turtles on them right now.. and Macy's has a whole bunch. One of my chapter sisters had a baby girl in January.. let me tell you about all the turtle things she got at the baby shower from all of us..hahaha.. that baby BETTER be a DZ ;) (Just kidding!!!)

Rose- My class from Haides was cancelled today...woooohoooooo!!!

Thorn- I am extremely tired.. and WICKED stressed.. I've had something like 3-4 anixety attacks since 10pm lastnight :(

Bud- My BF will be here, finally, after 3 months of waiting, a week from tomorrow!! :D :D :D

PS- Our First open house is tomorrow... we have 35 (of the 46 I said earlier) said YES to attending tomorrow, the other 10 or 11 are eithe runable b/c of classes, or unsure if they will be attending. Keep your fingers crossed for LOTS of interest.. we're down in the teens for numbers.. so we need a big pledge class! :)

Glad you had a wonderful weekend! Weddings are always fun! How long is your boyfriend staying up there?

Rose~ I had the most WONDERFUL weekend! Nothing better than spending it with the one you love :D

Thorn~ I am broke and it is only the middle of the month! My alternator went bad in my car Thurs. and it took $200 to fix it. My car is only 4 years old and I have had the most problems with it :mad:

Bud~ It's Tuesday...that is one day closer to Friday! We also have a work day on Friday, so no kids! There is also a big football game at NC State this weekend. Hopefully tailgating will be much safer this weekend.

Hope everyone is having a good week! Those of you who are in the middle of rush....keep smiling!

ugh..there goes the bell, time for a class:rolleyes:

It was SUCH a fun wedding too!!! :)

He's staying until Monday. The only bummer is I have a TON of stuff to do this weekend.. I have a meeting with our RCC... I have to go get fitted for bridesmaids dresses.. and a lot of homework. Oh well.. all I care about is seeing my boy! :)

We have another open house tomorrow.. I'll let you know how it goes!! :)

Rose: Today is my 5 year anniversary with my boyfriend! :D :D

Bud: He's flying in tomorrow.. I can't wait to see him!

No Thorns :)

Rose: Nada
Bud: Im catching up on homework
Thorn: Hmmm. My bf and I broke up (almost a yr), i have a huge paper due friday that i havent started, and i dont have a date for tahiti sweetie. Hating everyone about right now.

dz-kt

aww....the night/week is not over yet! I am sure things will get better for you! turtle hugs...and lots of them!:D

Rose~ my volleyball team looked really good today!

thorn~ the ref made the wrong call and took the game from us. He made us play until 25 in the 3rd match instead of 15 LIKE THE RULE BOOK SAID!! :mad: we were winning 15-10 at the 15! (we did win 1 game, lose 1 game, so not too thorny!)


Bud~ the 1st 6 weeks end tomorrow...hard to believe, but it seems this year is going to fly bye! (now if only i could get those 200+ papers graded and have my grades finished by Friday!)
