bad week
Last week left plenty of room for improvement. First, I was in meetings 3 of the 5 days...which prevented me from completing my Board report and other must dos. (making me feel behind this week). There was a time when I could take home work with me and get it done, however right now that is not possible as I am busting my butt from the time I get up (about 5:30 am) until I go to bed (about 10:30 pm) trying to stay on top of household and mom/wife tasks. Then, gas hit $4 which is upsetting. There were a few other inconveniences (related to car repairs and child care arrangements). Diane resigned to take a full time position on campus. I'm happy for her, but sad for me.... This week is full steam ahead to the BOD meeting. Hopefully a better week.

Life out west
Robby found most of the parts of his 2006 Halloween costume, when he dressed as a cowboy, and decided to wear it to school. He has practically outgrown it all, but we decided to let him squeeze into it one more time. His horse, Cookie, was left in the stall (aka his cubby) during class.
Mrs. Harre did a great job at the luncheon. I was disappointed with the number of NO SHOWS. Some suspect that this class is just like that, though I also suspect it had something to do with the Brat Fry the night before. We usually try to avoid being the day after, but this year it couldn't be avoided.
I have to motivate myself to get BOD meeting prep done, but my brain has going into summer mode...almost. And, the rest of the time I'm in meetings. I have to be productive today. I'm this close () to having a lot of stuff done...so now I need to just do it.
We started a walking program on campus named Step Into Summer. For 12 weeks participants wear a pedometer and track activity. There are teams. I don't want to let my team down!

Ups and Downs
We learned that, as of yesterday, we have 668 members - last year's total. So every membership we receive between now and June 30 will add to the first increase in Guild members in years. We're wrapping up details for the Senior Lunch. Mrs. Harre will speak. I wish there were more students attending. I think they have a lot going on this senior week and the students are having to pick and choose a bit.

Long week
It is weird how every day this week felt like Thursday, but now that it is Friday I'm saying "eek!" So far I'm on track with my to-do list. Diane is out today. Tonight I'm going to the boss's for dinner to celebrate with some outstanding seniors who have worked in OIA over their college career - including some Guild student employees.
We're headed to Wisconsin for the weekend. The man who housed horses at Grandpa's has sold them. We had to break the news to Robby who loves the horses. His first question was whether Grandpa could go visit the horses. What a thoughtful little guy to think of his Grandpa's feelings! The horses have been there since before he came into the world. I'm bracing myself for the "May I get a pony?" question.
The new information brochures arrived. They look great and I plan to post it to the Guild's webpage later today. We have 10,000. If 10% joined I'd be happy!!!

As a fan of good customer service (I love to receive it and TRY to give it), this story was touching and motivating:

This week
Friday I went back to the podiatrist for more torture. He says we've almost gotten the wart taken care of. Please God. I ended up working from home Friday, as able, because the pain is distracting. Otherwise the weekend was great. It was a real weekend with few plans. Rick went to his dad's to do a lot of yardwork, Robby and I stayed home. We went to the zoo yesterday which is one of our favorite things to do.
This is a big week. Indiana primary tomorrow. Last day of classes tomorrow. We will get our newly printed "information brochure" this week. Lots to wrap up, lots to get started.
Rick and I are seeing success after being on the South Beach Diet for the past 4 weeks. We feel healthier and clothes fit better. We just want to fit into shorts!
