Convention Countdown

bruinaphi · #1 06-10-2004, 11:42 AM

Hi ladies,

Convention is in 13 days. I am so excited!!!! Is everyone ready? I still need an outfit for collegiate awards or need to figure out what I can wear that I already have.

I can't wait to see everyone (esp. aphigal who will be celebrating a very fun bday earlier that week and her little guy).

Am I the only person not going?

I'm so envious. I'm going to the next one, thank god it's back on the east coast. I hope everyone has a great time!

Yep! 30 push-ups a day until it's time to go. Gotta get those arms toned for sleeveless!

I have no dress for candlelight though, and I'm not wearing the one I wore last time. I'm going power-shopping either Saturday or Sunday. Oh, and I need a haircut!

I was going to start a countdown thread yesterday with "who you can't wait see at convention", but then I realized my own list would be waaaaaay too long!

My one problem, I always forget to bring pictures. Everyone keep reminding me please!

Where is it at?

I wish I had a real job and could go to things. I love being an Alpha Phi nerd.

Could you imagine if they had it in Las Vegas! We would tear the city down! However, the excitment of sister hood and candle lights is more fun than gambling and booze.

Convention is in Palm Springs this year. It should be great! The idea of Vegas during that time of year does not excite me much. The heat would kill us! In '02 we were in Arizona and that was bad, and I know that PS will be bad, but I can't imagine Vegas.

I am hoping that Convention will be a ton of fun!

Who I can't wait to see at convention....

ALL OF MY SISTERS!

I still don't have a dress, and like CA, I'm going to be doing some power shopping over the next few days. I just hope I'm not expected to be a fashion plate!

ETA - is the website down? As of this writing, the domain name isn't resolving.

bruinaphi · #9 06-11-2004, 12:25 PM

The website seems to be working now.

Thanks, LD.

OMG soooo much to do.

Getting my roots done this wknd (thank god). Dress for candlelight is being shortened and can be picked up the 15th.

Dropping off a ton at the drycleaners on Saturday.

Need to make a shopping list for LD so I don't have to lug all the needed baby supplies.

Need to figure out what I am wearing each day and try to match shoes so I don't end up bringing a ton of extra pairs.

Need to finish rounding up my donations for the Foundation Walk.

Arrrrggghh

I can't wait to put faces to names.

I hope that the weekend-ers don't miss out on too much. The flight is due in @ 9:34am on Friday. I still need to get the rental reservations done though.

I have a very basic dress but will still look for a fancier one. I've got to give the gals who are doing power push-ups and such --not me I will find a thin lacy shawl to cover it all up. LOL

ladyj39, I hope you can get the time off or at least the weekend to join us--Congrats on your new job!!!

Aphigal, are you taking your little man to "The Happiest Place on Earth" before heading into the desert? If so, I have a tip for you!

Aphigal · #14 06-11-2004, 08:22 PM

no..not enough vacation time from work plus at 6 months I don't think he would really enjoy it!

How much is everyone raising in donations for the "Move Your Phi't" walkathon? So far I'm up to $500.00 ... is that low/high/about right?
