Yup, thats me, takin' the mornin' train, working my 9-5 (or 830-530 as it may be).
And for no apparent reason I had my camera on me yesterday as I headed down to Bridgeman for a Monday of writing, media work and news clips. I wouldn't say this pic of the clock tower is the best thing I've ever done, but its not bad either.
Now I have to praise the man of the house, Bob. He is such a good sport. Last night we had about 25 girls over for the senior night of alpha week. We completely took over the living room and at times a good part of the kitchen. Not a word of complaint from him. He came home, waved at everyone, said hellos to those he knew and helped himself to the food. Bob's great about all the deltas, the constant take over of his home by them and the inevitable requests for help with things like carrying boxes.
But I suppose there are a few other guys in the world who would handle an entire sorority of women in the lives with equal grace. As we tell Bob, he'll never come home to two college sorority girls ever again. These are the days of his life :)

The "I'm Done!!" Party
Rush is over. O-V-E-R. And Emal couldn't be happier. And all my friends are done with their delta offices (haha except Anna for whom it is just beginning!). And its the first weekend we are all back and can all speak to each other. And we have new members.
Obviously this means we needed to have a party. So party we did.
Props to Val & Emal for hosting yet another of the annual "I'm Done!" parties.

Sneak Attack
Joe's here!! Naturally this meant I had to surprise him and AJ in the kitchen while they are cooking us all dinner (salmon and broccoli, yum).
We all already know how much I love AJ (lots). But what you may not know is how much I love Joe too. These two make me understand a little why people enjoy weddings so much. I just enjoy seeing them together. They are such a good match, very happy balance of all the good mediums in the world. They are one of my most favorite couples. I think there is only one phrase to describe my best friend and her stellar boyfriend....
Happily Ever After

The Revolution
DDR has sorta taken over our living room. I played my first game the other night with AJ, Val and Bob. I can see why its so addicting!!!
J-O-B
Thats right, Melissa got a J-O-B down in Corpus. Not that she wasn't gainfully employed already.
On Thursday my rockin best friend got a job selling houses for a developer in Corpus Christi and she is pretty pumped. She's such a cute little adult.
Now the sad side of the story is that we aren't moving to Austin together any more. Its tough but I think we are gonna pull through.
I'm planning on living with my friend Nate from BU who goes to grad school at UT. And Nate and I are pretty excited about it. Plus I think it is swell that I can go visit my best friend at a beach...and a nice beach at that. On the flip side, she can come visit me up on the river and we can go tubing--a lot. So its all still very happy.
Way to go Melissa!!

Everyone Loves Newbies
Tri Delta loves newbies!! And today we got lots of them!
I'm not sure how many girls joined our chapter today but its in the ballpark of 20 and we are pumped!! About a dozen girls met the newbies at the GSU with their bids this evening and then it was on to Pledge Mom Megan's place for the first of many welcoming events.
This of course makes me the great grandmother of BU deltas. Yup, my class is now like the oldest of 4 active "generations" of BU deltas. It also means the little girls are no longer the little girls. They have to relinquish that joy. They seem to be taking it pretty well though (well except Risa who told me that if I reminded her one more time that she is no longer the baby she would revoke my trip to Cali...the one I already took). Maura doing swell at being not the baby; she even taught some newbies, specifically Lindsay and Kasey, the fine art of making delta fingers for pictures!!
Welcome little deltas!
