Whew...Are you still there?


I'm not sure who I am referring to in that questions (ok, Jack - it's you) but maybe I need to ask myself that question! March 16 was the last post...really? Really? Ok, so how to catch up on two months..Well, I'm going to flip through my calendar and realize it may take a week or two to catch up - but I'm going to try.

So, since Nahm Lately, what's been going on. When I flip my calendar back to March - I realize why I went MIA. It's a sea of yellow high-lighter..and I think my blood pressure is rising. But wait, it's over. I made it out alive. So what was it all about?

Looks like a lot of meetings, I hosted my first Sangria Saturday on March 20th with Keri and Katie. For a moment it looked like it was just going to be me, but the gals pulled through, and Mom even stopped by! Although it wasn't toasty and sunny, we made it fun with fantastic appetizers. Keri had another party to go to, so Katie's hubby (our wedding photographer) joined us and then stayed for pizza and a UK game, I think! Fun times. Sangria Saturday's are "the thing".

I hosted two Best Buy Job Shadows on March 23rd and 24th. That was 76 5th graders that I accompanied on a half day experience w/ our local Best Buy. It's a win-win for us. We get student numbers and we get $500 a day in grant funds! Score!!

I assisted with some sketchy and bothersome sorority personnels due to Spring Break behavior. The younger generations really are a different breed. Oh my.

I also lured Chad into chaperoning a Chi Omega dance on Saturday, March 27th. When I say he is a trooper, HE IS A TROOPER. Amid the dates that were passing out, vomiting on the floor, knocking holes in the bathroom walls and girls randomly crying, Chad chatted it up with the DJ, had a few beverages and maintained his cool the whole time!

I worked with high school students to film a video for our JA office to show at events and breakfasts. Filming in local schools was really fun and we didn't some neat things. The video turned out fantastic.

Hello April...

Heather (boss) and I traveled to Corbin, KY to pitch some Junior Achievement things but the highlight was eating at Colonel Sanders hometown KFC. Honestly folks, it's the little things. That same night I met my friend Katie at Greener Groundz for $2 wine night, which is quite possibly one of the highlights of my weeks.

April 7th I traveled with my mom and my basically second Mom, Donna to Atlanta. We were going to the Apparel Market and took Donna along. One of my favorite things about going to ATL is seeing my mentor and dear friend, Christine. Here are some pics to liven up this post:

I can't get the damn picture to post...I've been trying for two weeks now..Oh well, I"m publishing and will continue to update!!!
