Happy March everyone!


But I'm going to talk about this past week instead...so let's pretend it is still February!


February 22-24, 2008 -- NED Southern Precincts for TBS and KKY at UMD


On the afternoon of February 22nd, four beautiful sisters and a membership candidate of Tau Beta Sigma headed up I-81 talking about cows in trees...their destination...Maryland! It was the weekend of southern precincts, and time to kiss some district officer ass! IMG_0301.JPGThe millions of hours it seemed to take to get to Alex's house that day were actually pretty fun. It was filled with reading a Cosmo...almost cover to cover...devil cats that had crazy faces, getting lost...a lot, and a lot of gas stations...okay, maybe three.


We finally got to Alex's house and changed to head over to Big Bats, which is a baseball bar where Alex works. They had a Louisville slugger up, and I was excited because I didn't know what one of those was, and I love the "Before He Cheats" song by Carrie Underwood, and now I know! I'm lame, I suppose I could have just watched the music video...oh well.


The other car loads showed up and we all had a fun little meal and headed back over to Alex's where some fun was had by many. We finally got to sleep and had just enough time to sleep for four hours before we had to get up and go to College Park MD.


I had bagel bites for breakfast...it was quite yummy. :)


We headed out and I got to have my first Wawa experience...not that it was really any different than any other gas station I've been to...but apparently they are great enough to have fans on facebook...


We got to UMD and registered and waited for the joint opening session to start. The rest of the day was filled with workshops, huge subway subs, and balloons. It tbsatumd.jpgwas nice getting to know other sisters. We learned the new NED song, which sounds really nice...but a tad depressing. We'll sing it here when we host the Northeast District Convention. Everything ended an hour late because one-on-ones went longer than originally planned. While we were waiting for closing seperates, we had meetings with Kim and Shannon where they told me I had a little sister!!! I was SO excited. I was really hoping for one, so when I was told that I actually had one I screamed and hugged them. Yay! My little is Liz! She was on the trip with us, so I had to be careful not to give myself away. I immediately sent a text to my big sister, who couldn't go with us that weekend, and told her she was a grand big! I knew I had to tell her first! So that was fantastic news! :)


After everything was over we headed over to Bennigan's for dinner. It was a nice dinner and fun to hang out with my sisters and brothers! We found out that the Maryland chapter was hosting a party, so we decided to go to mingle and get our faces out there...we're hosting districts so it is necessary! BUT...we got lost and ended up driving all over the place in College Park. An hour later we made it back to UMD and there was a tiny bit of bickering as to whether we still try and find it or just go back to Alex's. Some went to the party and some went bowling, and one car went home. DRAMA! Anyway, I was in a car that went to the party, and it was fun. There was a ton of band geeks...how is that not fun?! There were songs sung...and I got to meet a lot of people! I was glad we went, and we didn't stay for long, so I never got really bored. Naturally we got lost going back to Alex's, but this time it wasn't our fault because there was a huge crash in the intersection we had to turn at, and we could find a way back over to that road. Luckily Lisa used the GPS on her phone and we got ourself back on track! We immediately crashed when we got there, we were SO tired!


The next morning we played musical cars as to who was going with who (whom?) since we had different people than before.


It was a nice weekend, despite all the drama, I think it was anyway. I'd do it again...except the next time, my dad's GPS will be brought!


Clue Week


meandliz.jpgClue week! It was fun. Liz figured me out way too early, but it was okay. I still had fun with it. My family gives each other pet names, and I decided to call her "Bunny" and so for one of her clues I gave her bunny ears and told her whenever someone asked her why she was wearing them, she had to respond (while hopping up and down like a bunny), "Because I am cute as a bunny and my big sister loves me!" :) It was fun. When I got to reveal myself on Thursday I had her take a scavenger hunt around McBryde ending with Sarah bringing Liz to me! We then went over to PK's where Jeremey and Lynn met us! We had a nice family dinner.


American Idol Results


I was happy with the results. I was so busy Thursday I didn't get to watch them until yesterday, but it wasn't spoiled for me, because I didn't go on any websites, and I didn't hear it any other way!


Those kicked off:






I'm still a little disappointed Amanda is still around. She totally ruined Carry On My Wayward Son, and she doesn't sound good unless she is screaming into the mic...so, I don't know why she is still around.


Leap Day!


It started with...well, it was suppose to start with an interview with TJ, one of the brother pledges...ah! Membership Candidate?! Oops...but he didn't answer his phone when I first called...still asleep?! Breakfast interviews are never good, because you have to get up early! So I went over to work and sent him a text that when he got up, I was at work but I could still have breakfast if he wanted. He called me about an hour later saying he was sorry and would still like to have breakfast. So I went and got him and we had a fun interview at the Easy Chair and he went to those post office with me to mail out the rocker troll that FINALLY sold! :)


I worked and such the rest of the day.


Then Kevin and I went on a date! We had dinner then went over to the movies to go to "Semi-Pro." It was pretty funny. :) We don't get to see movies in the theater in Christiansburg a lot because we never have time or the money spend on a movie. So it was nice to be able to have the time to do that for once!

P.S. It's SPRING BREAK!!!
