[pamperedalf]

I was just seeing if you guys were paying attention to my ramblings. LOL

Hey Amanda,

My daughter's birthday is 5/17 as well We sweltered at Funderland on Saturday morning... love it! She turned 6... my baby is growing up!

You didn't happen to deliver in a Sac hospital, did you?

You didn't happen to deliver in a Sac hospital, did you?

No I delivered in Ukiah. I would have had him in the car if we tried to go to sac. I was the first of 16 deliveries that day. They had 1 lady in the hospital when we got there, and then there were people without rooms. My best friends daughter was born on the 17th as well. Popular month for my family!

 

[PampChefJoy]

My DD was conceived in August, but we were delivering around a time when there were a bunch of 9/11 babies being born a bit early... THAT was a baby boom back then.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! Its raining here, but we need the rain.

PS not many more pink days and we get to switch the color. Sorry Jolene I know you like the color.

What do you mean your parent?? I'm confused! lol (It doesn't take much some days to confuse me!)

A whole different thread, but yes I am a teacher. I have one parent & student making my job 10 times harder than it should be. The kicker is she is my dir w/ PC & we are suppose to be staying the night before in San Jose and on the same flight out to Chicago. So there has been school drama, & drama staying in chicago. Just a lot of drama. There are threads on both, can't remember the titles.

 

[Koolotus]

Amand, thanks for keeping this updated!!!
I am so excited to see you again at conference...and deb...and everyone!

 

[pamperedalf]

(Thought I would update since I was peaking in ) Woohoo! We are getting closer! I can't wait to meet everyone!

 

[pamperedalf]

Congrats Jolene!!!!! I was the same way about how long it took, don't worry the fact that you completed it is what is important.Now don't rub it in that you are done, because I am green w/ envy.Thanks Brenda, I have thought about updating before I go to bed for those of you on the east coast. I am proud of myself for actually remembering to come here everyday.

 

[myinnerchef]

Ladies - I have a question about the people who are assigned to a particular wave - will they always be in the same wave group (assuming they don't leave and return under a different NED)?I'm wondering if I"ll see some of the people I met last year or if the groups are randomized each year.

 

[jbdowd0798]

Congrats Jolene!!!

Thanks for the clarification on the parent issue. I'm a teacher too (just not teaching at the moment) and i remember parent issues! YUCKO!

Are we all on the same flight?? I'm heading out to NC on July 13th via AA at 645am.

 

[pamperedalf]

Becky, I wish I was on that flight. I am flyin AA on the way home Thursday Morning. I am not happy about their new policy w/ luggage though.

I'm wondering if I"ll see some of the people I met last year or if the groups are randomized each year.

What I have noticed is that they do group the same execs for the waves. I know it goes on numbers from the previous year. Someone else w/ some knowledge want to correct me.

 

[pampermejolene]

Now don't rub it in that you are done, because I am green w/ envy.

.

Maybe you should make the new numbers in GREEN!! heheheh!

 

[kisrae]

THANKS for keeping us updated. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

 

[jbdowd0798]

Yeah I'm not happy about AA and the luggage policy either. But I guess let's think of this positively- its part of our Tax Write Off! hee hee:thumbup:

 

[lacychef]

Nope, not the same wave every year. I've been in all three in the past 4 or 5 years I think!

 

[pamperedalf]

Happy Memorial Day!Today is Monday, May 26, 2008.

It feels so nice that it's Monday and I am not at work!

pampermejolene

Maybe you should make the new numbers in GREEN!! heheheh!

I was thinking Green, but not because of that. LOL

 

[pamperedalf]

Nope, not the same wave every year. I've been in all three in the past 4 or 5 years I think!

I think Lacy that they group the same execs together because we have been in the same wave together before. Like last year we were wave 3. You know who should answer this is chefann.

 

[myinnerchef]

I was also wave 3 last year. So my question is whether all of last year's Wave 3s will be Wave 2s this year.

 

[pamperedalf]

I was also wave 3 last year. So my question is whether all of last year's Wave 3s will be Wave 2s this year.

It seems like it. There might be a few new faces, but it looks to be the same crowd.

 

[jbdowd0798]

I will be a new face so be excited! ha ha ha Okay so new but you don't have to be that excited!!

 

[pamperedalf]

We are always excited to add a new face. Becky who is your upline, we might be able to meet that morning before we fly out depending on our gates. We fly out SW 7am. I am sure if my dir goes with us we will be there early, she has high anxiety.

Back to the grind today. 13 days left of school and before we go camping. As soon as the kids are gone. I am gone and off to the sand to relax, well as much relaxing that a 4 year old will let happen.

 

[jbdowd0798]

Amanda my director is Sharon Morris. She is out of TX right now, but I know Robyn Wellons is on the SW flight that leaves at 740am. She's my hospitality director. Of course isn't SW in a different building than the other flights?? I can't remember! LOL Its been so long since I've been up there.

I have no clue what San Jose's airport is like. I have never flown out of there this is a first for me. We followed the cheapest fair. We tried for that first AA flight but the computer wouldn't let me buy it and everytime I tried the price kept going up. So that's why we ended up flying on SW out to get the same price I first tried for.

 

[jbdowd0798]

I know what you meant about finding the cheap fares. I should have booked when everyone on here was talking about $279 but didn't and ended up with $330 after a discount and stuff. Oh well, I'm going to NC!!! Thats the important part!! YAHOOOO!!!

11 days left of school, and a mini vacation at the sand. DS won't stop asking how many weeks until the sand.

That's why I booked on SW out and AA back is to get the $279.
