lots has happened in the past week, after parent teacher conferences, i enjoyed a half day on friday. it was SO NICE to sleep in, do laundry in the morning and hang it out on the line, go get my mail in my pajamas, and finally roll in to school around 11:30! wish i could afford to only work part-time (i love you mom, wink, wink)
friday night we prepared soup and cheesecake for our CYO soup luncheon on saturday, then i came home to pass out candy. actually, with respect to the healthy lifestyle kick i'm on, i passed out pretzels and pencils, many of the kids seemed excited to be getting something other than candy.
saturday was the soup lunch. we served a number of pheasant hunters and other community members. the chili was delish and there were lots of yummy desserts! saturday evening, i went to the "Haunted Hotel" put on by the Palco KAYs group. it was SCARY! lots of blood and guts, the kids did an EXCELLENT job decorating and made a nice sum of money for their organization.
Sunday, i got to sleep in again, YAY! at 11:30, we left Damar for Victoria, KS, home of "the cathedral of the plains" a BEAUTIFUL Catholic church. We celebrated "World Youth Day" in the diocese of Salina. The speaker was excellent, i led a small group in some good discussion, and we ended the day with an amazing mass in the "cathedral." i feel so very fortunate to have become a part of the Damar CYO, thanks Dawn and Travis for welcoming me as a sponsor, I look forward to many more fun times!

sunday night (i'm really getting old and crazy) i attended K of C bingo and WON! we played 17 games, and i took game 16 (a regular bingo) very exciting, even though my winnings just allowed me to break even for the night.
monday was Weight Watchers day, i weighed in -4.2 pounds from last week. I was hoping for that 5 pound sticker again, but no luck :( maybe i'll get 2 next week??
today is thursday, only a half day for students at palco, then conferences in the afternoon and evening. no school for palco tomorrow, but i'll still have to get up early and come into plainville! boo...
i'm planning to break my own rules and make an extra trip to Hays tomorrow (since i'll already be in Plainville) because Dillon's is having some great sales. Also, i've been invited to a jazz concert at the college, 3 of my students are participating.
thanksgiving is just around the corner. you may or may not know that i'll be making a *quick* trip to Ohio...if you're going to be in Ho. Co. on Wed, the 26th, I plan to hit up the tavern, be there :)
that's all for now...i have a fun/strange weekend in store, can't wait to share the details...keep watching!
