SO much has happened since the last time I updated! We had spirit week last week at camp and it was a blast-- MY TEAM WON! GO BLUE DRAGONS-- RAWR! The kids had a lot of fun and I think the counselors all did, too. We did have one really sore winner/loser who would goad people on when Red team won and ended up having a complete meltdown when Richard announced the Blue team won overall! For first place, we got to go see "Up!" at the movies, Chick'fil'a for lunch, and Dairy Queen for dessert! Red team stayed at camp and watched "Bedtime Stories", had Chick'fil'a for lunch, and did ice cream sundaes at camp.
Last weekend was supposed to be my house-hunting weekend, but Jonathan came in and we went to breakfast at Sweet Melissa's (yum!) and went shopping at Lenox with Sarah, and I found my tea ceremony tea at Teavana (macha, the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony blend, is much different from your average green tea, and is whisked with a bamboo mixer in to boiling water) along with some very pretty tea sets. We went to go look at the house on Deerwood (right near the K's and Sarah) that I was excited about and met a really nice lady, Margaret, who was not only an AOII, but also the woman RENTING THE HOUSE! Thanks, landlord! Oh, well. The place was a little bit small, and I'm finding some much better stuff now, so it happened for a reason! Margaret's going to e-mail me to get involved with Gamma Sigma, which she didn't even know was here!
Sunday, Sarah and I met to look at an apartment in downtown Decatur in a courtyard building built in the 1920's. I am SO in love with it, but it sadly won't fit our needs :( For $1k/mo it's a steal in the area, and it's all vintage and even has the beautiful built in cabinetry! But, there's no covered parking and no storage unit for Jeremy's tools, so sadly I don't think we'll be able to do it. I did go and look at another place called The Conservatory at Druid Hills which is back on N. Druid Hills behind the mall that's $849/mo and has garage units to rent for $75/mo! The place was surprisingly big for a fairly new apartment and was really nice. The complex has a pool, tennis courts, weight rooms, all sorts of fun stuff, and they're guaranteeing the $839/mo for the next year! Yeehaw! There are still a couple more to look at, but right now that one's at the top of the list. It's close to all the highways Jeremy might could need to take to work, and it would take me about 10 minutes to get to work from there. Plus, it's gated and very private-- peace and quiet at last!
Richard had kind of been asking me to take on more responsibility slowly, and yesterday he told me that I'm the new Assistant Director of the camp!! It doesn't mean much pay-wise, but it does mean that I'll have a job in to the fall! Hooray!
That's about all, really. Tomorrow is Six Flags day, but I have little girls so it should be pretty easy :) Will update more as I have more, and I'll put up the pictures of the places I've looked at so far soon enough on Flickr.
At least you didn't have to get kids off Foghorn Leghorn this time...
