Well, gotta get my stuff ready for work tomorrow. It is my last "teaching" day. On friday, I am taking a group to the special olympics. Their teacher never wants to work with them or take them, so i do. it is something important to them and gives them the chance to be successful.

That is so awesome of you to do. I'm sure those kids really appreciate what you're doing! Have fun and best of luck to your kids!

Dress shopping went well! If anyone is interested I'll post pics.. I don't want the Random thread to turn into "Ann Marie's Wedding Thread" lol

How was everyone's weekend? Who had today off?

My weekend has been good.. I have to work today.. 12-5 (I'm at work currently) .. so that stinks!

Anyway.. have a great day ladies!

<3 in DZ and Mine!

I would love to see pics! One of my best friends from childhood is getting married either late this year, or sometime early next year (if all goes well!) and I need some ideas for her. Luckily, she's letting us bridesmaid choose our dresses! She said she would rather have us in mumus and happy or put us in aqua taffeta and never hear from us again.

Most of my weekend was spent planning COR events and such.

Details on the dress shopping, please!

I had the most lazy weekend ever. All I did was sleep and eat mostly (with a few trips to the gym in between) We did have Monday off, which was nice. The weather here is sooo cold...hopefully we will have some snow days soon!

Today's excitment at school was I got to break up a fight. Girl fights are rough, especially if they are black girls. The fight wasn't even in my class. It was in the chorus classroom next door and that teacher was just watching. (she is not all there anyway) Braids flying, cat clawing, pulling for earrings. I got one girl from behind and pinned her. All I kept saying was, please don't hit me, please don't hit me. I was really scared that the other girl would try and come after her while i had her and hit me instead. The school cop and principal came and took each one of them. I went into the office and the girl I held back reassured me that she would never hit me. She said that she was worried I was going to get hit by the other girl and then that would have made her more mad. It was a crazy day! I have broke up many fights at school, but it was one of the worst!

Sooo...when is someone going to send me some snow?!?

Hope everyone is having a fabulous week!

How are the COR events going Katie?

Here is the dress I am drooling over.. I want it SO badly (all in white though.. so no red)

front:

back

(Keep in mind I am at my heaviest right now.. so the dress didn't zip up all the way and I look yucky )

I tried on about 10 dresses.. I really liked a few.. REALLY disliked a few others. I can't wait to go again.. I had a good time.. it was SO fun to dress up with all the BEAUTIFUL dresses!

Amy- if you want snow.. come up here! of course you need to take the -21 degree weather with the snow

Katie - What kind of events are you planning? I'm half happy and half sad that I woin't be doing Recruitment this Spring.. Once a recruiter ALWAYS a recruiter!

How was everyone's Day? (Besides your cat fight Amy ) Mine has been kind of blah... its really cold here.. I took a test today and I've been stuck at work for 10 hours (well, when I leave it will be 10 hours) Though.. I did get an early birthday present from my future mother&father-in-law.. I got a Vera Bradley Toastie in Pink Pansy (my fave, besides the Bermuda Pink..).. so I'm WICKED psyched to go switch my purse over to this beauty.

talk to ya'll soon!

When is your b-day Ann Marie?

I want a toastie...just don't know which pattern. I am about sick of green apple because all of my luagge is in that print. Maybe a bermuda pink one will do! I registared on verabradley.com and made a wishlist for my b-day. The vera bradley craze thread cracks me up!

Loooove the dress, especially the back!

I don't want the -21 degrees, just enough snow to get out of school for a few days (which would only be an inch or two)

Friday is my birthday.. I'll be 22.

I think a BPink will do just PERFECTLY..hahha.. I'm trying to get the toggle tote in BPink. though I really like the Green Apple.. hell I like them all! hahah

an inch or 2 here won't get a bat of eyelashes

[KatieKate1244]

An inch or two of snow basically shuts down West Virginia. We have so many windy mountain roads in really bad condition, there'll already hardly passable in some places.

As for COR: We are having an informal meeting Thursday in the girl's dorm's Game Room. The lovely ladies of the Epsilon Delta chapter are joining us to help us out. I'm really excited, as there are a handful of girls who seem enthusatic about joining, which is great, because my campus is pretty apatheic about doing stuff.

I love the dress! The back really makes it stand out. The red thing is a cute addition, but I hate dark colors in weddings, even if it's a fall or winter event. It just makes things seem slightly depressing (However, this is coming from a woman who sees no problem with a light turquoise and orange wedding. I actually planned my own wedding using those two colors back my sophmore year in high school.) My other best friend from childhood is in charge of the wedding plan for our friend's wedding, and she wanted a plum and teal wedding. I said no.

The meeting tonight was fairly successful. However, it started snowing at about noon, and hasn't let up. My CCD was snowed in, so she couldn't come. One girl who's really interested called me and let me know she couldn't come (which was great of her!). We had two ladies show up, though, so I talked to them.

We're supposed to be getting a foot of snow by Saturday from what the Weather Channel said. Yay! Snow day!

I'm glad your even went well.. hopefully bad weather won't hinder your NEXT event!

What did you do for your event?


Happy Friday ladies, by the way

[KatieKate1244]

It was snowing like crazy, and I didn't want to keep people too long, so I filled them in on the basics, fees, chapter history, stuff like that. One girl who came told me her husband drove her and he slid through a stop sign. Next week, when we have out next event, we'll do more.

[AWJDZ]

Ohh...what a week. TGIF (and I need to be in bed!)

Well, 2 trips to the dr. this week and 4 antibotics later...I have bronchitis. Teaching middle school and not being able to talk is interesting. Thank goodness one of my Bff's husband is a dr. I had already taken Tues. off because I was suppose to go to traffic court...well, by luck, I ended up being able to take care of it over the phone. The owner of the catering business needed me to work on Tuesday because her husband was having heart surgery, so her and her daughter were not going to work. The other girl who works with me had class all day and since I had already gotten off, I told her I could work for them. It is good money, a lot of fun, and I would do anything for these people. Well, while i was playing hooky from school and working at the Plum, one of my sisters who I had not seen in at least 5 years came in for lunch! I was soooo excited! We talked and talked as much as we could, exchanged numbers (cause she no longer lives here, but does live close by and will be working in my town for a few months) and planned to get together soon! It totally made my day! I miss her soo much!

My friends came to my house and threw me a little birthday party tonight. I was really not feeling like going out and needed to do some stuff at my house, so they came over with a cake, beers and the famous b-day shot, and whatnot and hungout with me. It really made me feel loved. Sometimes living in a town without any family is rough, but I have some really special relationships here and I don't know what I would do without these people somtimes. The dr.'s family has sort of adopted me over the last 7 years and they always cook me dinner for my b-day (and almost every other day) and I always look forward to it. We are going skiing for a week the week after next...I can't wait. Snowshoe, here I come (and hope I don't break another foot)

My bags are pack and I am ready to head to VA! I can't wait to see mom and dad! Home cooking, being spoiled, and all the other good stuff that comes along with b-day/being sick/being missed. yeayyy for good moms and dads. Hopefully i will buckle down and work on my national boards some.

Katie-hows the COB stuff going? Ann Marie-wedding updates? Anyone else got any new news? Well, as you have prob. guessed...I am drugged up and rambling. These meds. make me doopy but I can't sleep. Ughhh! Oh well, guess I will go lay in the bed anyway. I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend!

[KatieKate1244]

The meeting went pretty well tonight. A girl who couldn't make it last weel due to snow was there. She's really enthusastic (pardon my late night spelling) which is what we really need!

My CCD never fails to surprise me. We had talked about doing a recruitment event every week, which is fine with me. Today she sent me a calendar for the next three months, and WOW, am I going to be busy!

[PlymouthDZ]

HI!

Amy - Wedding updates... not really.. things are kind of frustrating right now. My dad recently lost his job.. my date has been booked in several pleaces.. we're going crazy

We're not talking about going to Vegas with a few friends and some family and getting married there.. then coming home and having a huge party. My parents said they would give us $6,000 to do that. (We'll see)

I officially stepped down at VP of Recruitment today. I came home and cried. Uhg

I start student teaching tomorrow. I am SO nervous! I'll keep ya'll posted on how tomorrow goes... 5am EST is going to come SO quickly.. I think its almost time for bed (NOW )

Talk to you all soon..

LOVE YOU!!!

Ann Marie

5 AM? How far is your student teaching placement and what time does school start? I wake up at 5:45 AM, go to the gym to workout and still make it to school by 7:35 AM. My first class starts at 8:00 (acutally, thats planning time for me, my class doesn't come until 10 AM, but I still have to be there). I remeber those student teaching days...now almost seems like nothing.

I would almost have to take them up on the Vegas thing. $6,000 would be a lot of money to start a marriage with. If I am over the age of 30, I am seriously thing Vegas or some sort of destination thing.

Katie- you are in WV, right? Do you know anything about Snowshoe? I am suppose to be leaving on Sat. morning for a week of skiing (see Ann Marie, when you have your own classroom, you can go off for a week!). I am actually going to babysit for a family that I have basically been a part of years. I have never been skiing before, so if anyone has any suggetions, let me hear them!

As of right now, I have bronchitis. It seem like it has been one thing after another this year. I have been on med. since Tues., but it doesn't sound any better. I have not missed work yet, but teaching with no voice is getting old. I went to mom and dad's all weekend and did absolutely nothing. Hopefully I will be better before the ski trip...the dr. is just scared that it may turn into pnenomia (sp, ofcourse). Spending your b-day in the dr. office is no fun!

Oh well, time for me to hit the sack! Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!
