^ OMG funny story actually. Was it you who posted that your cat looks like Falcor from Neverending Story yesterday here? So one of my friends posted a comparison photo him and her own cat on FB. You are not the same people I have deduced, but what are the odds? haha.
Haha yes that was me and that is funny as hell. I think they look similar because my cat has a lot of white hair on her face but up close you can almost see through her hair to the skin.

Thanks for the birthday love! After mimosas I had to take a nap but now were headed to a park to enjoy this awesome weather. Then drinking will start again and Cheesecake Factory for dinner. This has been a perfect birthday!
Someone come save me from this alumni event. Been here 90 minutes and haven't talked to a single student.
So bored.
Yeah I always feel like I should go to those things...and then I'm glad I don't. We usually only do one alumni event per year and its the day at the horse track.
I feel even worse because I was greek and I always talked about how I would want to go back and help as an alumni...but that hasn't happened yet.
mosdub, sounds like a successful trip to me! Have a great night with your friends! peaseblossom55, I've seen a food truck. Are those a local thing? What kind of food is it? Lol, is my country bumpkin showing?
I went through my closet and collected about $500 of really nice dresses and tops from Anthropologie, Loft, Forever 21, and TJ Maxx and decided to take them to Plato's closet to sell them. How much did they pay? Let me start by saying they only took 4 out of the 30+ items I brought in, and paid me $17.22. Their reasoning? "Older generation labels don't sell well here." WTAF?!?!?!?! Excuse me while I continue to emulate my grandmother's wardrobe. On the bright side, DH is grilling chicken, onion, and pepper kebobs!

Plato's Closet is just so good at subtly making you feel shitty aren't they?! I would be so excited to see any of those labels (especially Anthro) in plato's. They're dumb and obviously only want to cater to 14-year-olds and not fashionable 20-30-somethings.
In my town we have an independent consignment shop that would drool over those items - do you have any alternatives?
I'm back on my couch, going to see a high school production of Seussical tonight. For now, I'm binging on Gilmore girls. Season 5, and I'm on team Logan.
I waffle between team Logan and team Jess. But only in the later seasons.

My university didn't have the Greek system but I was super active in a couple student groups and always wanted to stay active. This is my first time getting the chance.
Apparently no one gets up before noon. I'm finally getting some people here to talk to.

Gottcha. Most of our alumni events are alumni only....except the tons of emails I'm getting now to help out at commencement. #thanksnothanks

I feel you on the going back as a Greek. I would always get texts asking where I was, then we moved away and nobody bugs me about showing up.

Which Sorority are you a member of, if I may ask?
Eta: I am Chi Omega
I was in a business professional fraternity - Alpha Kappa Psi. Our chapter adviser is actually one of my good friends and is coming over to our house tonight...makes it even more fun.

This was an event to let students meet alumni in different fields. It worked out better than I thought. The last 90 minutes had a flood of students.

icequeen it was about 20 or 30 different food trucks set up in the near by county park. So there was a donut truck, a crepe truck, a cupcake truck, an empanadas truck, a pizza, truck, a taco truck, a zeppoloes truck, an ice truck, hamburger truck, so many other different kinds of foods. The lines were so long to get anything though, it was about an hour or so just to get our food.
mosdub, they sure do! If I didn't have DD there I probably would have gotten into it with the obnoxious high school girl who told me that "people who shop here wouldn't want outdated items." Fine. I'll just donate to Salvation Army or Goodwill.
pismoduo, I'm glad you stuck it out til the end and it wasn't a complete waste of time! I bet the students were very appreciative of you!

Ok random.. What do you do to prepare for a vacation and how many days before? I normally make a packing list a week or so before, then gather things together the weekend before, then actually pack one or two days before. I also clean the house the day before leaving. Just wondering because I am leaving for a trip on Thursday.

I usually wait until the night before. It ensures that I pack all the wrong things. I'm a procrastinator.

I'm leaving tomorrow night. The method I'm employing is make a list, overthink it for weeks, start pulling suff together, panic, change my mind completely, get overwhelmed, give up and drink.
