I am taking a break from packing for TLC. I have a headache the size of Texas. I hope it doesn't last 3 days like they usually do or else TLC will be a major bummer

How totally exciting to have an AGD in a Rush forum thread! Let's hear it for the Brees and GeorgiaGirl. She gets to live in the wedding cake house!

I feel like I missed a lot by going to a school that didn't have houses. I'm glad the NPC groups at my alma mater are slowly acquiring housing now.

Have a great weekend everybody!

I lived in that awesome house. It is so beautiful to me!

AGDLynn · #**1670** 02-03-2005, 11:19 PM

I lived there 1 summer.... me and 7 GA's and the house mother.

I'm officially jealous of Marie and Lynn now too.

I agree with your comment in her rush thread, Lynn, about AGDs being the Susan's. That's how I see us too! I know *I* am not a Bree anyway..LOL. Far from it.

The headache is gone, phew! I need to finish packing and hit the road to spend an awesome weekend with so many sisters! I get to present a great workshop too! The weather looks like it's going to cooperate and I won't have any issues with flying.

What I remember most is late night visits to Dunkin Donuts. That's where I got addicted to creme filled ones, lol, but after that summer, I rarely went b/c there wasn't one in nearby, lol.

I did get a little reacquainted with one of the girls from that summer..she lives in Douglasville. Another is/was married to the Ga. Ag. Commish's son.

Just got off the phone with Miss Sandy. Here's the main rundown:

--she's eaten her body weight in gumbo, red beans and rice and crawfish
--she was hit in the head with a cup from one of the parades
--she went to Howl at the Moon and Pat O'Brien's in our honor
--and she extended her stay through February 15th!

I'm officially jealous.

What I remember of the wedding cake house is living there 3 fun-filled years. Being disappointed after I graduated and married because there was only 1 person to play with everyday & night instead of 80 or so...
late night trips to DQ for peanut butter parfaits ... ,living in the old section,the new section..., practicing the piano in the Music Room..., after dates in the Gentleman's parlor..., our beautiful staircase with the scrolled brass polished for recruitment..., the lead glass windows and the stained glass windows..., Watching Y&R after lunch with 25+ sisters in the TV room..., Spring formal in the gardens in the back yard with the band in the chapter room... my three candlelights..., my meals fixed every morning, noon and night during the week..., answering the Hall phone as a new member...,peeking around the staircase at my sisters dates (blind or otherwise)...,finding a derby...,meeting my husband..., sisters who I still get excited to see after many years..., nearing the for porte-co-chere to step onto the huge front porch for song practice...,the songs I still remember ,sing and share with my daughter.

My boyfriend, who is in medical sales, had a conference call yesterday in which he found out that his position is being eliminated. If they aren't able to put him in a new position (and this affects about 200 people, so there's a decent chance that they won't be able to accomodate everyone), this will be the third time he'll be laid off in 3.5 years. We are in complete shock, especially because his company has only had one other layoff in its entire 150-year history. Plus, we've been planning to get engaged very soon, and this completely screws up that idea. He's now considering giving up on sales completely since it's so unstable, but he has no idea what else he wants to do, and everything he has come up with so far requires him to go back to school. This is so completely frustrating...I thought the economy was supposedly getting better? Guess not!!!

AGDLynn · #**1677** 02-08-2005, 07:53 PM

Bummer!! I know how your bf feels! I was in Houston for 4 years and worked temp 1/2 that time because the economy kept going down hill.

My hubby's co is considering another round of layoffs, don't think it will affect him personally...we hope, lol.

Even if he survives this round, the bf may want to start considering non-sales. I didn't like to sell Girl Scout cookies, lol.

I noticed that The Rose Garden link has been removed from the AGD website...perhaps it is undergoing maintenance, lol.

But..I was curious...when I clicked on the RC Sportswear site for the other GLOs, they have more stuff than us

Some of them are really cute! Some of the stuff can be bought at the local Greek store but it's a major hassle to get to.

Seems like they'd have almost the same stock in different versions

AGDee · #**1679** 02-08-2005, 11:01 PM

Lynn, those observations of yours are due to my post in the TLC thread about licensing our marks. The Rose Garden hasn't had a wide variety of merchandise and hasn't been providing us with what we want. The other groups have so much more available because of the licensing of vendors. This will all change. Connie will be signing the paperwork very soon! You will hear more about it at the conclusion of TLC.

Ahhh!

Taking a short study break from my first big psychology test.....yuck.

I'm looking for a new horse to buy, also. I had to sell mine when I came down to Carrollton, but it now looks like I will have a place to keep one for cheap....yay! So now I'm on the hunt for a good cheap one that I can ride around and jump on.

And the studying continues....
