Violets, Buds, & Weeds

emleepc · #1 09-29-2004, 05:35 PM

Idea from DZ and DG:

Rose = Something Good that happened to you this week
Bud = Something You're looking forward to in the next week
Thorn = Something not so great that happened in the last week.

We can all be thankful for something, excited about something, looking forward to something, and maybe a little mad at something. So here's your place to vent if you need to, share happies with your sisters, and reveal what's going on in your life that makes you smile!! Can't believe we didn't think of it sooner!!!

So I'll start:

Rose= I got PAID!!!!
Bud=Next weekend, I'm going on a trip to sing in Tennessee.
Thorn= My mom's been sick this week, and man is she being a pill. "When momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!!"

Violets=Starting to work at an ADPi Alum's church nursery on Sunday

Bud=Seeing some old friends from home.

Thorn=Boys have frustrated me all this week!!!!!!!!!

I love the idea for this thread, but can we consider a name change? Both DZ & DG have roses for their flowers, so I think that's why they used that title. Maybe ours could be violets, buds, and thorns (although violets really don't have thorns...)???

Violets - I got the internship!!! I'm so excited. Putting in my 2-wks notice was by far the best feeling in the world!

Buds - I get paid on Friday!

Thorns - one of my project groups is seriously driving me nuts

Buds - I'm starting to do better in school

Buds: I get paid friday...

Honey maybe you can change the name of the thread to Violets, Buds, and Weeds....

Violets- I am finally understanding my position as ME Advisor!! Soooo much to learn!!

Buds- I am completely off from everything on Sunday!!

Weeds- I have to work on Saturday (even though it is my choice to work at a part-time job on Saturdays-- it is just hard to work a full-time job 5 days a week and a part-time job on Saturdays. Working 6 days a week is tough!! But don't get me wrong-- I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY PART-TIME JOB!!)

texas*princess · #12 09-30-2004, 01:37 PM

Violets - I finished my policy test!!!!!

Buds - I get to meet peanuttu this evening!!!!

Weeds - I'm not sure how I did on my test.. I either did really good ... or really bad

Violets- I finished my living room painting and it looks awesome. The room really looks great with the new color and all the Halloween decor I have up lol

Buds- I get to see Bri next weekend for 5 days and this weekend I get to be lazy and do NOTHING

Thorns- My landlord is selling the house I live in and the one in front and this stupid real estate agent is being a pain in the butt. I know shes trying so hard not to, but its so stressful to make sure the house is spotless so these people can trapse in and out of it looking at it and looking in my closests and cabinets and then noone ever buys the stupid place. Tonight is another showing and they are making me bonkers. I had to leave work early because well I am anal about my house. I want people to think we are very clean, not slobs like my hubby so I am on a cleaning frenzy and about to drop. I hate this. If I ever buy a house and then decide to sell, Im moving out before I sell so people dont have to interrupt my life.

GRRRR

texas*princess beat me to it!!

Violets: Despite much craziness, I got my license to carry renewed!

Buds: I rarely, if ever, drink soda pop - but I had a Red Pop for lunch!

Weed: My sister-in-law's father had a stroke yesterday, and he isn't responding to any medication or therapy.

Violets: Ok, kinda long story, but there is this guy that I really like. He is my really good friend's brother in law (her hubbie's brother). Anyay......He came with her on Tuesday to see my volleyball team play (i'm a coach) and on the way home he told her that he really likes me!!! He's almost 11 years older than me though, so it's kinda crazy, especially when you consider that my mom is only 17 years older than me.

Anyway, he's awesome and I'm excited, hopefully he'll be asking me out soon, we'll see!!
Buds: I get to see him tomorrow!!!! And I get to go play on the lake all day Saturday.
Weeds: My mom made me really mad yesterday.
