I Had a Bad Day...

It's weird... Monday seemed to just fly right by, which is not the norm. Monday's are usually the worst! But not this week. Tuesday was just a bad day.

First of all, it took FOREVER to get to 5 o'clock... at 3:45, I just started staring at the clock, watching the seconds tick by until it was 5! So, finally 4:55 gets here, and I'm out the door (it was close enough to 5!).

I decide to skip Curves... which ended up being a horrible idea. I drive on, get into bad traffic, which I hate because I have major road rage! Finally get past 81st and Mingo, but still stuck in traffic. I slow to stop because of the line of cars ahead of me that have done the same. The car behind me stops, but the car behind her did not do as he as supposed to and ran right into her, which in turn, led her to run right into me.

I drop a couple of unpublicizable words and get out of my car. We all decide to move over to the side of the road (if we didn't, we would probably back up traffic for miles since we were in a construction zone because they are ALWAYS working on the roads in Tulsa, but never really fixing anything!). The lady who hit me got out of her car and was crying her eyes out. She had just finished up with her chemotherapy for the week so was already having the worst day EVER! The guy that hit her was a little off -- had the shakes... but said he was OK, then dropped the line that he's leaving for Iraq soon and he was so, so sorry. What the heck do you say to that? You can't really get mad...

So... that's how I ended my day.

Should have went to Curves...

She's IN!


What a long week... It seems like forever ago when I actually went through Recruitment, so I forget how long the week is. I remember how exhausting it was on the other side since that was a little more recent... but geezmaneez! It took what seemed like forever for me to find out that Lauren... is a KAPPA!

She loved Kappa all week and felt very comfortable and at home there. There was no pressure from moi... by the time it was all over, I just wanted her in a house and happy!

This morning, as I was waiting eagerly for the telephone call, I got an instant message from my best bud Nicole, telling me her sister had just called and was a Kappa -- I then started freaking since I hadn't heard from Lauren yet! Fifteen minutes later, she calls...

Its amazing what a week does to a person. She was SO excited... Lauren Hills... excited! It's funny... I don't think many thought she would really get into all of this, but she did. She has already purchased her first Kappa stuff -- and has her first Kappa t-shirt (first of 2,648). She is definitely a tired girl because the week is stressful, long, and full of non-stop smiling. I'm not sure if I'll get many smiles out of her when I help move her up to Manhattan this weekend.

So... she's a Kappa. I can't wait to share the many, many things that there are to share about Kappa -- I know the next four years of her life are going to be filled with so much and I'm glad that we will have this special bond together.

Anyone else think that summer has went by at warp speed?

Finisimo...

It only took me a week and three days (while others finished in about 5 hours), but I finally finished the seventh and final Harry Potter book.

I will not let out any secrets of the book. But I will say that this has been my favorite book! There was SO much in it... my head literally hurt when I finally put it down after finishing the final page.

Major kudos to JK Rowling for not doing what I thought she would do. If she had done what I thought she would do, I would have to do something to her that I don't like to do! (Makes sense, right?!)

So now I will return to 'normal' books (normal = nothing revolving around the wizarding world, it also = boring)... I hope Jenna has a list for me!
