Roses, buds & thorns

Cute idea from Delta Zeta, Delta Gamma, and Pi Beta Phi forums:

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

For example:
Rose = Paid all my bills
Bud = Both kids go back to college this week
Thorn = Both kids go back to college this week

My former land chapter did something like this....

Rose= I found out about an amazing opportunity that will be a big boost personally and professionally.

Bud= I'm looking forward to getting our Christmas tree this weekend.

Thorn= My grandfather had a major stroke on Monday. He is not doing well at all. Please pray for him.

Rose: I did very well on my nursing exam today and summer nursing externship job interview today.

Bud: We are going to a Xmas Casino party next weekend

Thorn: This week my current boss stabbed me in the back and my once highly favorable opinion of her is now highly disfavorable.

Roses: I have four awesome nephews, and three of them came to visit me over Thanksgiving. I hope they'll come for Christmas.

Bud: I'm seeking AI into a NPC sorority, and I have a friend writing a recommendation and introduction for me!

Thorn: It's too blasted cold outside, but my dad's going out to play golf anyway.

Rose: Both of my cats have clean bills of health (which is really good because my oldest is on medicine for a heart murmur).

Bud: My mom is coming to visit me!

Thorn: I found out yesterday that my dad might have to have a defibulator put in in January, his heart is only beating at 30-35%.

Should know more next week.

Rose- I'm just about done with grad school! I emailed in my last paper, and I have a final to turn in tonight and I'm finished!

Bud- Going out to celebrate my graduation with friends on Thursday and my break from work starts on Wednesday!

Thorn- I'm exausted from staying up until two trying to get all my papers done.

Erica, I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather.

((((((HUGS TO ERICA))))))

Rose: My husband finished his master's thesis and presentation!
Bud: Christmas!!
Thorn: My dad found out that he does have to have the defibulator/pacemaker put in; it's scheduled for the second week of January. (But this is not totally a "thorn"; I'd rather he have this in case of a second heart attack.)

erica812 · #11 01-17-2007, 02:17 PM

Rose=My schedule this semester allows me to be with my son a lot more!
Bud=I'll probably finish knitting my husband's new scarf in the next week or so.
Thorn=I didn't get my reading done for class tonight (because I was knitting

).

Bud: I get to spend some time with my family this weekend. I'm having a St. Patrick's Day dinner.
