One word: home.

Two words: very exhuasted.
Three words: my own bed.

Four words: husband with strep throat.

So good to meet all of the GCers in RL. You are all beautiful. I am honored to know you.

Sorry I didn't officially get to meet all of you. I think I saw several of you at one time or another. Since I left Thursday afternoon, I didn't get the time and place to meet SORRY!!!

It was a great time but I too can't wait to sleep in my own bed!!!

Can't wait for y'all to come visit HOTLANTA next summer!!!

I hope that everyone had as good of a time as I did!!!

Roses,
Sarah

I too am back to the real world - ie work. SO much stuff to go through, process, and organize into coherent thoughts. Plan on doing that tonight while in Pittsburgh on a 15 hour overnight (again in a hotel, but in a room/bed by myself.

). I am SO happy to have meet you all and everyone else at LI and I can't wait until Convention in Hotlanta!!

After having attended this, I can't imagine NOT attending all future - as money allows!

Roses!

Sarah

P.S. I want more ribbons!!

ha ha - the more you go, the more you get!!!!

SO LOVELY meeting you all ! LI was great fun (best I have attended yet), and I have 3 super rockin' chapters. I got to catch up with my old chapters (who are winning some smokin' awards!), including Lauren Veraldi, the lovely Beta Gamma CP I worked with this year who won the Perry Award - how gracious is she???! Thanks to my Secret Panda, Christin - I love my stickers!!!

Can't wait to see you all next year in Hotlanta!!!

Roses,
Shala

PS - Remember this for next year - take the Monday after Convention off if you can. You thought you were tired from LI - Convention is wee bit more draining....it takes a day not to say to your co-workers.."So, what chapter are you from?"

I am SO proud of Beta Gamma!

I'm thankful that I didn't have to take any days off work to attend LI as I got a schedule that had the 22nd through 27th off - needless to say, I would need to take the Monday after Convention off anyway to make sure I can get on a flight home

I think I may start banking the sleep now for Convention (about 5 seconds extra each day should get me enough. . .for now at least! LOL)

We'll have to do better coordination in meeting for Convention, though it was great meeting you all this weekend - and our new mascot (our baby panda!)

tired - definitely - but what a great time - baby panda is just recovering (so is mama panda!! I wore her ears around the airport for like 20 minutes without remembering i had them on...)

we will be able to get together better at covnention as their are a few more spare seconds there rather than the constance break-neck pace of LI...

it was really great to meet you all...

I LOVED my secret pal stuff... but bella aka baby panda has stolen the boa...... she is crawling around with it now....

tasha

ps if someone tells me how to put a pic on here.. i can put the pics of bella in the pandas and at HQ -

I had a blast at LI! It was so nice to meet all of ya'll! I learned so much! I can't wait for Atlanta 2005, my 3rd Convention!

AOTTAdvisor · #53 06-28-2004, 11:45 AM

Okay, so you all are making me so jealous because I wasn't on Greek Chat when I went to LI 2 years ago and I would have loved to have met all the GCer's there!!
So, when it comes to Atlanta(where I live) next year, I can't wait to see as many of you as I can.
Anyone know what the host hotel is?

Glad you all had fun!!

Hi everyone!!!

The house is standing, the boys are alive and well and other than the red koolaid stain on the carpeting in my living room all is relatively clean here. Got home about 11am this morning after crashing in Louisville last night.

I loved meeting each and every one of you. I am so thankful to have each of you in my life, and only wish all of our GC sisters could have shared the experience with us. Start planning for Hotlanta now, y'all!!!

Silver, I'm sorry Mr. Silver is so sick! Hope the antibiotics kick in soon.

Sarah/pandarose18, we looked for you ALL weekend. I'm sorry we never found you because we missed you.

Tasha, thanks for sharing Baby Panda with us this weekend. She was adorable and so good! You are setting such a good example for her through your lifelong commitment to our sisterhood.

Sarah, it was so weird driving home at 6am this morning from Louisville without you

However I hit plenty of expected and unexpected construction AND traffic jams to keep me company

Thanks to Ole Miss Glitter for being my wonderful secret panda! It's just the prod I need to get back to cross-stitching again.

Ribbons rock, thank you very much! I loved mine, but the ones I truly loved seeing were the 3 on the nametag of Chi Epsilon's Chapter President. Congratulations to XE for the triple play--Standards of Excellence, AAC Performance and Corporation Performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~~AND, our wonderful AOIIGal was one of the 2004 Alumnae Women of Distinction~~

My final parting words: Andrea Mosby simply ROCKS!

Roses,
Christin

P. S. NHPgator-It didn't even occur to me that that was you and your wonderful family at the end of the HQ tour. It was the VPMR/VPA from my chapter that took the picture for y'all by the brick. What a beautiful family "LEGACY"

aoiikristi · #58 06-29-2004, 12:32 AM

So sorry I didn't get to meet more of you at LI! I'm a little new to GC and don't always get time to read very many posts. Besides that, it seemed like I was either in meetings or sleeping every single minute (guess being in the first trimester of pregnancy does that to you!). For those of you that I did meet, it was a pleasure.
In any case...I feel so blessed to be among such a truly exceptional group of women! All I can say is sometimes we make good decisions, and other times we just get lucky--I think I must have hit the jackpot when I pledged AOII!
And, SNOWLADY!!!!! I missed you so much!!! It just wasn't quite the same without you!

AOIIsilver · #59 06-29-2004, 11:11 AM

Thank you very much to my secret panda....I LOVE MY CHARMS. I am SO amazed that they were within the $5 limit. You rock, Neonpi

Silver

nhpgator · #60 06-29-2004, 11:26 AM

wow pandarose we met and didn't even know it - the picture with my mom, baby and myself over the brick i bought in honor of my grandma who was also an AOII (she passed away about 10 years ago - so that is why I say was - although I guess i could say is since she is now in teh alpha omega chapter...) anyway the picture is great..... i really appreciate your chapter sister taking the photo -

aren't we all so lucky to have such great sisters..... even those we don't know we sometimes meet......

congrats to all the certificate winners .... keep up the good work and set even higher goals for convention....

the worst thing in the world we could all do is go home from LI and not put to use the awesome information, inspiration and exhiliration we all were given this past weekend...
