My Girl Scouts in the News!

My Girl Scouts have been in the News several times in the Last few Weeks!

I was pretty excited about this article that had my Volunteers Bragging on me and this one about the Marrero area Cookie Rally! Glad to be getting this much visability this time of year!

Plotting my Return...2012!

It's been so long since I've Blogged I'm almost embarrassed to return! Life has just taken me over...

- At the beginning of December nearly half of my office was layed off which has left us "Survivors" barely treading water...I'm currently working three different positions right now...
- My Mom and Grandmother were in town for a Long weekend right before Christmas which was fun but hectic...
- I had a very treasured Girl Scout Volunteer pass away...who had no family...so I'm planning her Memorial Service...I've never planned a Memorial Service...not sure how that's going to turn out...and yet another time when I want to scream "This isn't in my Job Description"!!!!
- We made the trip home to Tennessee for the holidays, but it was such a short trip it almost wasn't even worth it...After criss-crossing the state twice we did get to see all of our friends and family...but barely...
- We came back to New Orleans for New Years Eve, which was fantastic, but left me hungover for three straight days...Alright, admittedly this is my fault...
- Up and running, I'm still working the jobs of 3 people, but in only 3 days a week because I'm currently blessed to be serving my Civic Duty as a Orleans Parish Criminal Court Juror - in Orleans you get Jury Duty for a Month...I have to come in every Monday and Wednesday in January in *hopes* of being placed on a jury...most of the time I just have to sit in silence...
- We've had House Guests, first for the National Championship Game and then a friend from High School who is currently spending a year bicycling across country...
- Ohhh...and I'm about to fall into Cookie Season Hell...

To be honest with you I haven't even had time to Blog! But I am determined to start the year off on a good foot...even if it is 3 weeks late! To help make the burden of starting back up after so long easier...I'm electing to forgo blogging the Holidays...at least for right now...But I would like to share are beautiful Christmas Card! I'm super happy with how it turned out!


Anyways, I'm back...it may just be a couple times a week...but I'm back.
