When I have sheepishly admitted told people that I’m now writing a blog about Starlite, the first question is always “how come?”  My usual response is that there are so many funny things that happen to us that I want to make sure we start recording them because I am some of us are starting [...]

This week’s WSW actually comes from last semester — according to the instant message log on my computer, our lovely Laura and I had this conversation on October 27, 2007.  I’ve changed our IM names to protect the procrastinators our innocence, but the rest of the conversation is exactly how it appeared that fateful day…
LauraLOVE1: how [...]

When I was a wee little girl, I would caution everyone that left our house “Uoo beeee careful out dere.  Dis cold, dark and wainy” which translates to ”You be careful out there.  Its cold, dark and rainy.”
I believe I will print out those words of wisdom and post them on the front door of the [...]

One of the highlights (well, at least for me) of this past weekend was all of us going to my home church for Sunday morning service.  We were all sporting our matching Starlite sweatshirts (pretend there’s a picture right here), so it was pretty obvious that we were a group even though there was around [...]

I think the title says it all.
But, of course, I’ll say more.  You’re so welcome.
The last time I left you, we had just divided up to hit the spa, aquarium and outlet mall.   One of the girls from the spa group called me from the actual spa bathroom to tell me (and I quote) “This [...]

After waking up at the crack of dawn because I was so excited about today’s surprises, I decided to go ahead and get everyone up.  I sang my own version of “Good Morning Beautiful” to the girls… they were saying naughty words thrilled.
After breakfast, flat irons and plenty of lip gloss, we met in the hotel [...]

Slooooooowest internet access EVER, so short post.
Highlights of trip so far:
Once we took the interstate exit to the town we were at earlier tonight, the girls each got to open a letter that contained clues about where we were going.  The girls in my car concluded that we were going to “a Roman bath place [...]

In approximately 3.5 hours, I am doing something absolutely ridiculous loading up 18 college-aged girls and taking them on a weekend retreat. 
Suddenly, my out-of-college-self feels quite old.  It is like I have somehow slipped from the “youth group participant” to the “youth group worker who has to carry around permission forms and remind everyone to use their buddy [...]

One quick glance at the sky told me that last night would be the night — the sky just had that “snow look.”  You know, all bleak and beautiful at the same time.  So, I did what any good southern girl would do…
 I headed straight to the grocery store.
The line of cars in the parking [...]

… I’m actually hoping we won’t have a snow day tomorrow.
To understand how serious of a statement this is, you must remember that I’m the girl who used to set her alarm to wake her up every 15 minutes to see if it had snowed enough that school would be called off the next day.  [...]
