WELCOME to GC, so.caliAXO!
We are glad to have you here! The trip sounds awesome! About your grandma, I am so sorry that she was put into a home. I would definitely get some pictures together for her, and put them in a large frame (one for the wall if they allow that) - nothing grandparents like more than talking about their grandkids! If possible, add names on each picture - it will help her and others as they come to visit her and chat about the pictures. Another idea - depending on her mental ability - is to make her an "Everyday I Love You" jar. Just cut strips of paper out, write a quote, poem, a fun memory with her, etc. and then fold them up. Put them all in the jar (can be a candy jar, small plastic container, etc.) and tell her that every day, she can pull one out and read it and think of you. |
**BUMP**
Highs: ~I spent a great weekend at Chapter Advisor Summer CAmp, met some really great women, and learned a lot! ~Three day weekends rock my socks ~I get to go home (NJ) for a week at the end of the month. Lows: ~It is very muggy and humid in NC and it has been threatening to storm for a week and it hasn't yet. ~I have to wait another three weeks until I get to go home. |

HIGHS: *There is snow on the ground *I start a new job with NORMAL HOURS in just over a week with better pay and fabulous coworkers *It's the holiday season, my favorite time of the year *We decorated our Christmas tree yesterday *We bought ourselves a featherbed for our bed.... it's so warm and comfortable! LOWS: *My commute this morning took 45 minutes instead of 18, and I still had to wake up for work at 2:30 regardless of the ice *I slid off the road this morning and got really freaked out. I made it to work in one piece, though *Our heat is acting up at home, and it's freezing |
Xylo....glad to hear you're okay!!! How scary to lose control of your car!! :eek:
HIGHS: *We've finished most of our holiday shopping *My private practice is finally taking off! *DH & I had a home cooked meal together for the first time in ages due to our schedules.

Highs:
*Got to meet Carnation at her daughter's wedding on Saturday (and it was a beautiful wedding)! *Just finished the Christmas lights on the house - now everything is all decorated! Lows: *It is freezing cold outside but no snow :( My theory is that if its going to be cold, it may as well be snowing :p *Another busy week shaping up - I wish I could just cancel everything & stay home for a change! *Zippy (aka, my new car I bought in July) hit 10,000 miles going to the wedding - in just over 4 mos, I have managed to drive what is "normal" for almost a whole year! :eek: |

Hey everybody! Been awhile since I've visited - but you all know I just HAD to check out the recruitment threads!
Lows: My summer was too short, and I'm not ready for school to start back for real tomorrow! Highs: My eldest dd started middle school on Friday and LOVED it! I'm so glad! I also heard from a good friend today that my chapter made quota again this year and got some awesome girls! So here is a big shout out to the Chapter Advisor and Recruitment Advisor....I'm so proud of you and our girls! |

For me... Highs: 1. Getting through another successful recruitment 2. Eli starting preschool next week Lows: 1. Eli starting preschool next week... when did he get to be 4?? 2. One of my new members was BORN in 1989!! I feel SO old! |
Highs:
I sold my house and closed last month. I got 14,000$ more than I asked for-cha ching$$$$$. With my house proceeds I payed off my student loans and should be completely debt free in the next 12 months. Once I am debt free I am going part time :) Lows: I am tired of working overnights-I feel like I have aged a million years and am tired all the time, I am getting old :( Dang Alum-in 1989 I was a senior in H.S.-I really feel old |
Quote:
Would it make you feel any better if I said that in 1989 I graduated from college (two years BEHIND schedule) and was already 24 years old at that point? :eek: No? :( OK then, right now I am going to open up a big tub of Ben and Jerry's Minter Wonderland, and you're invited to share it with me. Seriously, that's my final offer! :) How the heck ARE you sweetie? I still miss our chats and wish the AXO website had its chatroom like the old days...I hope you are well! :) |

Reviving the thread for a MAJOR HIGH!

Hi all - it has been awhile! But ya'll know I have to check in about this time every year to see what is happening in those recruitment threads...I do love them!
Lows: Summer is about over and school will be starting in a few short weeks which means I have to go back to work! I'm really worried about one of my sisters! Highs: My niece will (hopefully) be joining a sorority at Clemson, so I'm really excited for her and can't wait to see where she ends up! I'm hopefully taking a trip to Chicago next month! I love the Windy City! |
hey girl, long time no hear. Are you going to make a rush thread for your niece?
|
Good luck to your niece! And have fun in Chicago. I had a blast when I was there for convention last year.
Highs: Work is finally getting busy! It's nice to not be bored. Lows: The kids I'm teaching are driving me INSANE. |

Sorry for the crash ladies, but I ran across this on Ebay and thought I'd pass the word along. It's not marked as an AXO pin yet and is currently pretty cheap.
