Oh man.....what did I get myself into?

-



Well, I'm a little bit excited and a whole lot of scared! I attended a PAC meeting for the first time today and ended up volunteering for the Social Co-ordinator position!

What the heck was I thinking?
You have to understand...I have never been to a PAC meeting in my life and I've only attended one PAC event (and that wasn't even for my own school) and we used to homeschool, so I have absolutely no experience to draw upon for this job!
I repeat. What the heck was I thinking?

Well, the truth is I've been waiting for someone to step up and it's now the middle of November and no one has so I figured the least I could do is better than the best that no one would do. So...I will try to aim for a couple of social activities and it will be a couple more than the school would have had otherwise. Understand my logic? If so ,that's kind of scary!!

So, the first thing on the bill will be a Christmas movie night. I think we're going to watch Elf! I love, love, LOVE that movie and so does my family so I'm banking on others liking it too. I'd also like to have a New Year's party! I envision a safe, child friendly place for families to gather to dance, eat, watch fireworks and ring in 2009! These are just ideas in my head right now...I still have to figure out if it's feasible and talk to the principal about it. Actually...I'm getting ahead of myself...I guess the FIRST thing I need to do is gather together a committee!

Anybody wanna volunteer?

I'm comin' to YOUR DOOR!!

Oh (snicker, hee, ha ha) good for you for stepping up!! (laugh laugh laugh) I was on the PAC executive for 2 years, and last year I chaired the huge Christmas fundraiser. Ya. Good luck!! NOT that I am saying anything... You have a good amount of energy, right? Oh and about 12 more hours each day... You'll do great!!

I attend all the Pac meetings here, though with having little ones it limits what I can do, butr I love it. It also helps that 7 out of 12 of us are members of the same ward! Good luck..maybe we can swap ideas! You will be fantastic!

...and that, my friends, concludes this blog. I think yesterday's post is an appropriate way to end it. I really don't have the time to keep a blog anymore.  My posts aren't as entertaining as they used to be (sometimes I bore myself) and right now it just seems more like a chore than a creative outlet. I will keep the blog active for awhile until I can find the time to slurp all the posts into a book but I don't think I'll be adding anything new. Thanks for reading.  Thanks for all the support over the years.  Thanks for listening to the Crazee Chick rant... See you later.... Lisa

24 Hour Relay Report--Facebook Style

Status: Walked almost 30 km this weekend. Walked from 11pm until 3 am--did 20 km--stumbled, weaved, bobbed, and limped through that last 2 kms and now have empirical knowledge of what it feels like to be asleep on your feet.   Feet hurt. Legs hurt. Hips hurt. 75 year old man passed us during our 4th hour. He was on his 16th hour and managed to run 165 km in a 24 hour period. Inspiring! Humbled by elderly, fit man, called the Lone Wolf. What courage. Reached my fund raising goal.  Thank you to all who donated.  Your contributions helped to raise over $1,000,000.00 and send 852 kids to summer camp this year.  Thank you.  Visited Starbucks 3 times in effort to warm up. Weather was not on our side. Cold and rainy! Ick!  Slept in a tent trailer for the first time in my life! It was so cool. It was also especially wonderful to be out of the rain and not sleeping on the ground. Met a bunch of crazy people.  Got to hang out wif...

Scents and Scents-ability

Before I became a Mommy I was a working girl. And when I was a working girl, I was a GOOD smelling working girl. I had my favorites--Tresor, Poison, Giorgio, Ysatis, Tuscany per Donna, Eternity by Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis and Alfred Sung. I had so many perfumes--and I loved them all! Then I became a Mommy and I did away with all my perfumed-ness. Why? I guess I didn't want my baby to have to breathe all that while s/he was trying to nurse. Perfumed flavored milk? Yucky! And...I never went out so why did I need to smell pretty? Wasn't smelling like breast milk, puke and baby poop enough of a sensory overload? Now I'm two things: Mommy and Working Girl. But I'm not a breastfeeding Mommy so you know what that means... BRING ON THE PERFUME!! The other day I went to the store and I was bowled over by the choices! Givenchy has a million scents now, JLo has like three kinds, and then there's that Ed Hardy guy with the fabulous name-- Christian Audidgi...
