Convention 2006

[amycat412]

Post Convention is at my house. I have 4 Alpha Gams sacked out on my couch right now watching Love Actually while I am at work. lol

Hope y'all are enjoying yourselves Nic, Maria, Marissa and Sandy!

What I love about Convention is that it gives you a chance to meet those "Big Squirrels" and other VST members...and find out that they are "regular" people.

I remember Marie LH when I was an undergrad although she was "just a name" then.

It's reassuring to know that when someone has a position for several years, there is always someone to step up and do a terrific job. Although I don't think that anyone can replace DeeDee as Ritual!! One cool Squirrel!! (ETA: I finally read my Committee reports, lol. Nancy Knickerbocker is replacing DeeDee as Ritual Chairman. She's cool too!!))

I'm excited to know that I can walk up to any Big Squirrel/VST member to discuss a problem that I am having and they are quick to offer advice and/or direct me in the right direction.

I'll try not to bug them.

ETA 2: IHQ could possibly have left over Convention favors for sale. If they did like they did last time, they sent flyers to the Chapters. I can't remember if they posted on the IHQ website. The tiny red flip flop was very cute!! Burr Patt was sellling a silver one but I don't know the price.

What does the Vera Bradley bag look like? I use a Vera type bag for my camera also... very good use.

As to convention goodies... I think that I will wait till I get to go myself before I start collecting goodies.

Out of wonder... do any new mommies bring along babies? I know that this is an excellent time to "get away" but I was just wondering. WHY??? No no little legacies on the way.... just trying to figure out when would be a good time to have one... I was going to try for next summer but now I am in my first wedding (that wasn't my own... I'm been asked for 3 but something always happens) so I really don't know if next summer will be good for me and then the following summer is convention... I guess with my mom in Houston I could always let Nana have "it" for the week. Or what about Hubbies to do they ever tag along? Just wondering....

The Vera Bradley tote was small; I don't know the dimensions..sort of like a coin purse??

There was one Alpha Gam with a baby in a stroller. I don't know if she was a Chapter Advisor or VST; baby was very good!!! She may have gotten special permission..after all, they are business meetings and ritual ceremonies (not sure if baby was in the room when ritual was done, lol.)

There were some hubbys there. Not sure how many but I did overhear some conversations about being on the golf course.

Keep in mind that most days are completely full with dinners, etc. going late into the night. Plus "hangout with the sisters" time
