NPHC Weekend


I have been tired all week from the past weekend. It was Alumni Chapter National Pan-Hellenic Council Greek Unity Weekend. There were all sorts of activities planned from a community service to a picnic. Well, I am a sorority girl at heart and anytime, well most of the time, that I spend sometime with my sorors it is a good time. I have been practicing for weeks for a party- stroll (if you have seen Stomp the Yard or School Daze you know what I am talking about). I really need to remember that I am in my thirties and not my twenties any more. I am still sore this week from all the practice and the show. Unfortunately, on Saturday, the judges ( who do not know good taste, when they see it) scored us 5 points below the next team. So we lost...what a bummer. I won't lie, I was so pissed that I needed to leave before I said some choice words.( I am in the middle getting ready to get my stroll on)

After the party stroll, there was an after party at a local club. I have not really been to a club for several years and after last Saturday I see why I have not been to a club. There were sites that were not meant for public eyes to see. I really felt over dressed with my top and jeans on. So after standing in line for 45 minutes and not getting in, I brought my 30-something(use to love this show) butt home.

On Sunday there was a picnic. I was not going initially since I was still pissed from my team losing the party walk. Well, the drama did not happen at the picnic it happened before the picnic , when Mr.J saw my dress. I thought I was cute. He thought a was a little too cute. He was a little upset when I left in my dress anyway. What do you think? I had a good time at the picnic, seeing all of my friends, eating the free food and line dancing for almost a half an hour.( I am in the blue dress getting my line dance on. I really need to remember that I have arthritis.)

Maybe this weekend I will be able to relax a little...NOT!! Mr. J and I have plans to go to a jazz concert and we have our "trash the dress" photo shoot. I really miss the days of getting up on Saturday mornings in my Underroos with a bowl of cereal watching cartoons, until it was time for a nap. Those were the days. Have a great weekend!!!

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
