well, it's been over a month since i've posted last and i tired really hard to post daily, but that didn't last with having to deal with work, new house, etc.
but i did want to inform you that i have a new job, or at least i will in 2 weeks. i have taken a position with the kentucky lottery as a special events coordinator and i am super pumped about the new adventure. i will definitely miss the march of dimes and everyone there, but of course i will continue to be supportive of the babies!
this house thing is stressing me out...waiting up to 60 days to move in because the seller put her children's names on the title and now they have to go through court to get them off. CRAZY! this ruins my plans of moving next week, obviously.
i have been inspired by my lovely pi sister, babbling abby to do some mighty mondays! here are the rules according to abby: If you want to play too, simply make a list of things that you might have done and leave a comment so we can visit your blog and feel a little better about our own list ;)
i might have resigned from my job today.
i might have gone to the gap after work and spent money that i should have saved for a house.
i might have used abby's blog to get ideas for what i might have done today.
i might have made casey and i come back early from illinois because my he is a terd.
i might have gained 30 lbs. this weekend by eating tator tots and pizza on friday along with cracker barrel and taco bell with a side of skittles on saturday.
i might be procrastinating about doing laundry.
i might be stressing about finding out when i get my home :(
i might be excited about my new job, even thought i might be sad about leaving the old one.
i might have posed as casy's mom and used her costco card to get cheap gas.
i might have gone to bed at 10, but i decided to do some mighty mondays!
that might be all for now, but i might be wrong...
and who am i...that's one secret i'll never tell ;-)

almost friday!
this weekend casey and i are headed to his grandparent's lake house down at lake cumberland. i am so excited to get some much needed r&r.
it has been a long week at the march of dimes because of layoffs. i made it through, but some of my fellow co-workers did not. being a fundraiser is hard and i feel like i could have prevented the layoffs if i would have just raised more money. the employee morale is really low and i am hoping it will get better soon.
needless to say i am headed to the lake to get away from the "drama," and i cannot wait!!!
jacob is watching the dogs and casey and i will go down there with casey's parents. i am hoping for a sun TAN and not a sun burn this year so please keep your fingers crossed!!!
i'll let you know how the weekend goes after the weekend (obviously)!!

grand convention
an email from one of my lovely sisters sparked how excited I am to see almost all of the super seven at grand convention in less than a month...and of course all the other sisters I have met from across the country!
ADPi Grand Convention is such an amazing opportunity and I wish that all my sisters could have the chance to go and experience it. I was lucky enough to have been a Leadership Consultant post-college and now I am the Chapter Advisor for one of the best ADPi chapters in the country! So I will be attending my second Grand Convention this summer.
The sisterhood and bonding that happens at Grand Convention is so memorable, I just wish everyone could attend so we could all be closer as sisters.
I personally cannot wait to hang out with my roommate, who sparked this blog today, because when I finally get married I have a super sister to keep me right on track with a wedding...which is NOT in the near future!
I just wanted to say how excited I am about Grand Convention in Orlando in T-minus 23 days!
Pi love sisters!

looking for a home is harder than i thought!
so casey and i are looking for houses these days. meaning that casey is looking for a house and i get to look with him and provide imput :) i will say i've already gotten my heart broken after day one. that just proves that you should not get your hopes up on anything that may be "too good to be true." i learned that from katie during her house hunting adventures. thankfully this week she and ian finally got a house after two months of searching! yey!
here is what casey (and i) is/are looking for:
here is what casey (and i) is/are looking for:
- 2 bathrooms (i don't like the idea of only having one bathroom since we like to entertain
- basement (preferably unfinished, casey would like to have his own space to put a bar or something)
- garage of some sort
- nice sized yard for the dogs (since he has two dogs we need a yard for them to play)
here are the areas that we really would like to live in (in no particular order):
- st. matthews
- highlands
- anchorage
- middletown
- hikes point
- oldham county (crestwood or buckner, he says la grange is too far!)
- river road
- brownsboro road
- and any place in between
we would ideally like a fixer uper, and i say that after i thought that finding a newer home would be something i wanted. i realized that our money would go further by doing it ourselves and we have the time and the resources to do that...and by resources i mean our large families :)
so keep us in your prayers that we find a great deal and a good opportunity!

billy g is out?
well, i heard it on WHAS 11 that billy g is officially headed out of kentucky. i'm not sure if i'm excited as the thought of a new coach, or if i'm appalled at the turn around time between coaches.
i am excited because...
1. he was sleeping with students.
2. he was/is a drunken idiot.
3. we lost games.
i am appalled because...
1. 2 years is not a long enough time to see what a coach can do.
2. who the hell are we going to get now?
3. what about the players, how do they feel?
i think that takes care of it...good talk guys.
until then, stay classy planet earth.
and who am i? that's one secret i'll never tell.
xoxo, delaurah

i didn't realize how demanding blogging is...
so...i'm lazy....and uninspired.
i had no idea how hard blogging is. nothing exciting goes on during my life so i have a hard time figuring out what to say. but today i have some random thoughts:
1. yey, vacation is in 8 days!!!
2. trying to becoming microsoft certified is hard if you're not already in IT (long story, for another day)
3. it's 4:30 and no one is in my office...we don't close until 5, hmm...
4. soccer game tonight at 11, that should be a joy!
5. i should really post that blog that i started writing about my trip to san francisco, that was in january :)
6. can someone donate food for my kick-off event on tuesday?
7. non-profit is hard in a dying economy.
8. i hate cold weather...brings me to my next thought...
9. i need to move somewhere warmer.
10. my mother is addicted to my seasons of the Gilmore Girls and that is all she does on her days off, watching them one right after the other!
11. UK's Greek Sing is tomorrow and as the chapter advisor of the adpi girls I am going up there to support my fellow sisters!
12. no i am not making an extra trip to lexington, i will already be up there for a baby shower.
13. amy's baby is coming in april! (amy is my old boss at the march of dimes in lexington)
14. nothing left, just didn't want to have an unlucky 13 random thoughts.
until then, stay classy planet earth.

oh that britney spears is good...
For those of you that know me, you know that I am a die hard Britney Spears fan. I've stuck by her side through thick and thin and I never looked back. Well, clever, little Britney came out with a new cd recently (within the past few months) and might I say..."Circus" is pretty damn good.
If you have not listened to her new cd you really should give it a try, not only because "Womanizer" reminds me of Chuck Bass and Gossip Girl commercials and because "Circus" has a really weird video, but because the #6 song is damn clever.
I don't know if Britney wrote it (she probably did not), but whoever did deserves the rights to be call a "song-writing-badass!" Okay, so about the song...it's call, "If You Seek Amy." Now, if you listen to the chorus correctly it says, "all the boys and all the girl want to if you seek amy." That makes no sense at all when you read it, BUT if you say it really slow to yourself you will find the hidden clue that "all the boys and all the girls want to f-u-c-k me." Say them both and you will realize that Britney and her "song-writing-badass" did something ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
I would never have realized that if my Britney-loving boyfriend, Casey, did not point out how dirty the song is. I had no idea what he was talking about until he brought it to my attention. My Britney-loving sister, Katie, whom gave me the cd, thought the chorus made sense. She was disappointed when we brought it to her attention because she then had to break the news to Amy, her roommate. Amy apparently loved to listen to that song because she thought it was about "seeking Amy" at the bar.
Needless-to-say, it was a sad day for some (Katie and Amy), but for other Britney fans we realized that she was more a lyrical genius than before.
Way to go Brit Brit.
until then, stay classy planet earth.

why must there be terrible/hateful drivers? is it so the rest of us can look good?
I think there has to be some driving requirement when you buy a BMW. There has to be a line that says, "I vow to be a prick who cuts people off without a wave, give nasty looks, drives much faster than what the law says, I promise to piss people off." Then a second line that says, "I vow that I am an asshole and I will represent the BMW name well with my asshole-ness." Under that would be their signature.*
You ask why do I have such a strong dislike about BMW drivers? Well, they think they are better than everyone else and therefore to not have to be nice or abide by the law. I drive a pretty nice vehicle and you don't see me being a bitch. I just don't understand it. I guess it's one of those unsolved mysteries.
Another beef I have is with people who cannot seem to drive in certain weather situations. Okay, so it snowed, BIG DEAL! The roads have been scraped why must you go 2 miles per hour (I am dead serious)? This happened to me this morning. I was excited about getting to work on-time and some truck must have though we had an ice storm because he decided that in order to be safe he must drive at 2 miles per hour. I mean, if you're going to run off the road, you're going to run off the road, deal with it.
I promise not all my posts will be some venting session, but I just felt that everyone should be aware of terrible drivers...especially if you went to school and/or live in Lexington. Somehow they are the WORST.
until next time, stay classy planet earth.
and who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell.

*if you drive a BMW and you're a nice driver, my apologies. But, you should talk to your other BMW driving friends and tell them to get their act together because they're giving you/the BMW community a bad name.

why i decided to blog.
well, here i am trying to be cool because i want to be in the "in crowd" of blogging. this would have been helpful during my travels because i would have had plenty of things to discuss, but i didn't think of that at the time.
why am i blogging? not really sure yet. i have nothing of interest to talk about, i'm not getting married now, therefore I cannot talk about being a newlywed, i not knocked up, therefore I cannot talk about the 9 months of torture, nor can I talk about being a mommy. you ask yourself, what the hell is delaurah doing? well, when you find the answer please let me know, i'm open for suggestions.
i'm sure i will think of something stupid to talk about periodically and every once in a while something i write might be worthwhile reading, but until then, please read on and feel free to make fun of me for my lack of ideas or uninspiring life.
until then, stay classy planet earth.
