kappa delta

I am a Kappa Delta! I joined the sorority in college and absolutely loved every second of it!! This past week I was able to visit with three sorority sisters and catch-up, laugh about all the crazy times, sing songs, do our cheers and just have fun. I loved it and would do it all again in a heartbeat!

this monday night i went with the boy and another couple to les deux (you know, the one they went to in the hills?) it was rock night and lots of fun!

randomness - a guy came up to me and the convo went like this:

him: what are you drinking?

me: a vodka tonic

him: what's in that?

me: are you serious?!

end of convo.

Vista Print!

I have been organizing more in my classroom and also my library of children's books at home before bringing them over to my class. I have used Vista Print for my labels...

I love them!! If you want to go over there and sign up for their e-mails you'll receive special "free" items. All you do is pay for the shipping.

Here are the other items I ordered this time too...

Double Down

My little fishy Double Down passed away last night. He was a good little fishy who lived at our house for 14 months, which is a long time for a little fish! Big D was named for his two tails and he loved to eat, even swimming like crazy when people walked by so they would feed him.

Have fun in the big fishbowl in the sky Double Down!
