I have not blogged in ages, so I assume I've lost my following...what following, you may ask? lol
This weekend was a fun one! Friday night I ran concessions with the FFA Chapter. A lot of work, but a good money maker for us!
After concessions, I went over to a friend's house to chill and chat. It was a great time, much needed!
Slept in on Saturday, then ran to Hays for liccorice. Got my eyebrows waxed for the first time here, she did an OK job, but my right eye is still red...oh well.
Saturday evening was the Palco staff Christmas part at Thirsty's in Hays. What an awesome event! We met for dinner and drinks and really enjoyed our selves! Less than half of our staff was present, but the fun ones came, that's what matters.
This will be a busy week. Thursday and Friday, I'll be out for Ag. Ed. Symposium, here in Hays.

i'm slackin'
oh my. my last post was october 30...where has the time gone? i get grumpy when blogs that i follow aren't updated, and now i'm becomming one of them!
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!

PTC and KS Weather
Just a quick update to let you know that I have survived the first round of Parent Teacher Conferences! I only went to 1 of the 2 nights, (long story) but was only visited by 2 parents! And of course, they were the parents of GOOD kids! All in all, it was a good experience. The best part, I will be enjoying half of a day off tomorrow, yay! That means I get to sleep in.
And to address the second part of this title. Could someone Puh-Lease explain to me how we can get SNOW last week and 70 degree weather this week? It honestly feels like spring this evening. Not that I'm complaining, just makes me wonder what the next few months are really going to be like!

Cute Cookies
It's a longggggg story, but somehow, I agreed to put on a "hamburger feed" before Friday night's football game. A local man donated $100 and the FFA purchased supplies to serve hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, chips, cookies, and a drink for $5. All in all, the event went well. We had plenty of help and managed to make over $250, after expenses. I asked the students to provide the cookies, and decided to make some myself. I was so proud of how they turned out, so I took some pictures :)
Funfetti cookies with vanilla icing and candy corn. YUM!

Dairy Judging
Tomorrow we're headed to the NW District Dairy Judging Contest at Fort Hays State University. Coming from Ho Co, I feel like I should be an excellent judge of dairy animals...right? NO WAY! Thankfully, the father of one of my students came in to help us out tonight. The kids will judge 8 classes and give 3 sets of oral reasons...wish us luck!

fun times!
my, oh my! what a night!
i had a novice teacher meeting in manhattan last friday, so i seized the opportunity go drive out the night before and be a college kid again. my good friend lori, what a good friend she is! although she had mountains of homework to finish, she still managed to see that i had a great time in Aggieville. her poor bf, brandon,
was in charge of entertaining me for the evening. we started out at BW3's (forgot how YUMMY wings are!) then headed to Kite's, where we met up with Kelsey, another friend from study abroad. lori preceeded to leave us at this point, brandon took kels and i to the concert, such a gentleman, and we all had fun.
here's the funniest story of the night, just a subtle reminder that NO MATTER where you are, you'll manage to run into someone you might know: so i recognized a few guys who had judged the livestock contest at the rooks county fair. not sure why, but i felt compelled to tell them that i recognized them and followed that up with "i'm from ohio, so i don't know many ppl" one of the guys says "wait, are you a buckeye?" DUH!? what else is there? lol anywho, turns out he's from BOWLING GREEN and we actually have a handful of friends in common. scary...:)
i was on an "OH" - "IO" kick for the rest of the evening/night/early morning. I think i slept about 3.5 hours before heading off to my meeting friday.
i owe this great time to lori (the DD) brandon and kelsey.
thanks guys!
