cold, cold, go away and give me back a spring day

i am very frustrated with the weather here. i thought Missouri was bad, but i think that i have found a match and it's called Washington, DC. the stinking weather was beautiful and then it became cold again. Ugghh, it's so frustrating.

This Sat. marks my first Creative Memories party!!! I am excited, but also somewhat nervous. I haven't received my Starter Pack yet, so that could potentially be a problem. I am trying to decide on the menu. I am thinking Spinach and Articoke Dip, and fruit and yogurt parafaits. Any other suggestions?

The first one of the five pregnant people that I know had their baby a week and a half ago. He's still in the hospital, he was 6 weeks early. I think they might get to bring him home soon. His name is Adain Elias Thompson. He's really cute.

So my hepling the homeless endeavors really haven't worked the way I planned for it. I brought an extra lunch for my homless man, but he didn't want it. I am not really sure if he is homeless, and maybe I offended him in some way. But, I am still trying to figure out what I can do to help.

We are having a dime war at work to benefit the March of Dimes, and I am so into it. I am trying to scrounge up change so that my team will win. One of the girls and I are getting really competitive. The teams are set up by month, so we are trying to sabatoge each other. She really doesn't mind, as long as it raises money. It reminds me of penny wars in high school.

update

so here it is, finally a new post. lots of tidbits to update, but first about my photo. This was right after I got a haircut, and some sort of bangs. I was indifferent about them at first, but now i kinda like them. They have definitely grown on me, plus since my hair is not quite long enough to cut off, it was a nice change. I am working on getting the photo moved to my profile section, but for some reason I am having a problem in completing this task.
What else has been going on.....

Today is St. Patricks Day!!! Yes, Carrie, I did wear green, and I thought about you when they announced that (at my work) it was also going to be College Day. I really wanted to borrow your green Mizzou shirt, but luckliy I found an old college shirt that sported green. During lunch we watched basketball and ate pizza. On my way to work, I noticed a mile long line of people piling into a bar, at 9AM!! I soon found out that it was to celebrate Kegs and Eggs. Gross, if you ask me. Did this happen at Mizzou? I could not believe the turn out.

Work has been extremely taxing this last month, hence the lack of posts. I have probably worked close to 70 hours of overtime! Today, with all the festivities I decided to take a break, and not work so hard. I feel it is much deserved.
Las Vegas was fabulous! I don't know if I would choose to go their again, but it was fun. I feel as if you have been there once you have seen it all, especially because I don't like to gamble. I did win $62 in one hand out BlackJack. I was content after that. I spent a couple of extra days out there, and David came out to join me. The light show at the Billagio is amazing! The pirate show at Treasure Island, kind of disturbing. I was lucky enough to have gotten to stay on the strip. We went to see "O" which was amazing!!! I suggest everyone go see a Cirque Solee show.

I am becoming a Creative Memories Consultant!! If you have any scrapbooking needs let me know, and I can supply you with all your creative needs.

I am thinking about joining the Junior League here as well, but I think I have missed the deadline.

I am going to Williamsburg this weekend!! I am really excited, because I get to have Sonic! I have never been to W-Burg, but I here it is sweet. Too bad Busch Garden's isn't open.

I am trying to give up soda for lent, and so far I have been somewhat successful. I started a week late, and I am allowing myself to have some on Fri. I think that is good for me. Also, I think it will help me to become more healthy, and maybe help my teeth. I had to have another root canal a few weeks ago, because my jaw was in so much pain. That 3 in the past year! We'll see if cutting back on the soda helps out my teeth.

I am thinking of stating a new project. There is this homeless man that I walk m=by everyday on my way to work, and I have decided that once or twice a week, I am going to bring him a lunch. We doesn't ask for money, but I am feeling compelled to help him. My small group did a lunch outreach to the homeless in DC and I really saw the need to help them. This is my small start.

Ok, so I have been slacking, but not much excpet work has been going on. once I have the weekend to write and post pictures I will update everyone on my life. So, please continue to check as I will get better.
