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.

Major BUMP!!!

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

AChiOAlumna · #**245** 12-10-2005, 12:20 AM

Xylo....glad to hear you're okay!!! How scary to lose control of your car!!

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.

LOWS:

*My dad has to go in for surgery next week.
*I'm working 3 jobs right now so I can keep my practice open and not lose our house in the process.

AXO Alum · #**246** 12-11-2005, 06:47 PM

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

*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!

Highs:
my family is healthy (including my furry babies)
It has not been that cold this winter and I have only has to have the heat on for few days this year
I am done painting the kitchen/dining room and entry way, only 5 more rooms to go

Lows:
I have to work during x-mas and new years, it is usually a big time for euthanasias-not fun

Have not done any x-mas shopping
The house is too big and I am tired and ready to sell to buy another condo (will be doing this in the spring or summer)-I have put a lot of work into the house for the last 2.5 years and will be sad to sell but happy not to deal with a yard
one of my closest friends may be moving to San Diego

I hope all of my sisters have a good holiday and a happy new years-have some champaign for me

Hey Karen!

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?

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!

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!
