Hello, where is everyone?

Just checking in with the Yellow Cake Crew. We have all been really bad about keeping up, and we have not decided on a weekend to all hang out... I really would love to see everyone. Let's try to find a time when the most of us can make it. We are going to Padre for July 4th, what are you all doing? Stay in touch.

Update on my life

Hey everyone!! I just thought that I would give you an update on my life. I got my first ever 4.0 this semester yay me! I just moved back to HTown and I am unpacking 3 years worth of stuff. Totally not excited about unpacking.  I also got a nanny job for the summer for the two kids across the street and I am so excited! Hope yall are having a wonderful beginning of summer!!! 

Blonde or Brunette??

I need yalls opinion on whether or not I should dye my hair brown again. I am debating right now on whether or not I should do it. Here are two pictures one of each and let me know what you think..

Retreat Dates

Hey guys, I'm rebooting the retreat dates thread since I'm not sure if y'all would catch me making a comment on the "official thread."

Polebenders is booked the weekend of June 12-13 but we're looking at one of the last two weekends in July to see if those would work. So we have a choice - reschedule for July or try going somewhere else (Rockport? Dad's ranch? Austin?) in June.

So let's take a poll - vote on your preferred option:

Option One: June 12-13, destination TBD

Option Two: July 17-19, Polebenders in Seadrift

Option Three: July 24-26, Polebenders in Seadrift

ACL 09

the lineup is officially up and its LEGIT. i hope everyone is going!

Old School Owen

Take me back in time... This is before the birth of most members on this blog.

Steve Jr.

VICTORY!

So, I am finally enabled to blog on this beast, so there will be no need to cyber-chastise me. Muoah-ha-ha!

Also, now that I have recovered from my DC reunion (with all my girls from Chapelwood that I've known since birth, mostly), I decided to tell you what I did. Yes, I hugged a pink polka dotted cow. I also slapped the ace of a harlequin horse. Apparently Virginia is big on brightly colored animals.

After surviving our vineyard tour, I went to a Nerd Party at the Convent at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda Maryland. Unfortunately, there were no nuns. Granted, if there were, I would have been drunkenly stalking them due to my crazy fascination with the habit-ed ones. Blame it on my latent Catholic side. Thanks Grammer Koch. We totally had an around the world themed party where I sampled libations from Cuba, Tanzania, Mexico, Candyland, and Hell (incidentally, do not partake in the drinks from Hell. Surprisingly not good).

We then went to the Earth Day festival on the Mall where I got to see Chevy Chase BOMB. It was kind of amazing. There was also a woman who felt the need that whenever she said the word, "President," to follow it with a long pause and then shout, "BARACK OBAMA!" Apparently she didn't know that you don't need to shout into a mike because it is designed to amplify your voice nor that following the term "President" with "Barack Obama" is superfluous as most of us know who you mean when you say "President." Granted this was the Earth Day jam and there were a lot of hacky sacks, so maybe she just assumed that most people were not operating with a full deck of cards.

I also dined with my friend Amanda Burdick, who apparently worked in the White House with Molly and was supposed to go to the wedding, but was too busy getting engaged in Hawaii. Small world.

Hope y'all are having a great week!

RETREAT!

I have to be in Shreveport the weekend of the 6th.. possibly another weekend? and Rockport is always available.. I'm definitely down for that. What is sea drift?
