update on 1001 things...

6. Organize my desk/crafting area

It might not looks organized to you...but trust me, this is great for me.

26. Recommend someone for a job

Self explanatory I'd say...

27. Get GLA to start recycling more than paper and pop cans

We start next month!  This wasn't fully my influence, but I complained a lot, along with a few others and we are getting a dumpster for both office and personal use!

28. Tutor someone taking the LEED exam

I have a lot of friends getting ready to take it and I'm glad to help them!

57. Meet Little Boy Brunke

One week after John Issac Brunke he was born, I got to see him!!  Can't wait to see him again, and his sister Maddie of course!  The Youngers-Brunke crowd had better get ready for some pool parties this summer...

82. Sell my clothes that don’t fit on Ebay

I've made well over $150 and I'm only about half way through my pile!  Everything I don't sell, I donate to charity...

85. Plan a shower for someone

We had a wedding shower at work for another interior designer.  She works in our Houston office, but interned in Wichita and is from Newton (by Wichita) and she went to college with me.  It was fun!  We went to Sugar Sisters, one of my favorite places to eat here in 'Ta Town.  YUM!

88. Frame my K-State Diploma 

I ended up using the thing they give you when you walk, hey...it was cheap.  :)

89. Frame my LEED Certificate

I bought a floating frame so I could frame both the certificate and the letter I got from GBCI!  I LOVE it!

94. Give money to Telefund 2009 if they call

My friend Josie ended up being the one to call me, so OF COURSE I pledged!  Sigh...what will I do when I don't know anyone in college any more?  I'm getting so old.

SO!  I can check those off the list!  On to the next set...

i bet you think i forgot about the list...

so, i actually HAVE completed a few things on my list, i just haven't been able to blog about them yet....until now!

#91 donate my time to an organization & #93 help out with casino night 2009:

okay, so this may have been kind of a cop out, but i still donated my time...as an alumni staff member of the boys & girls club of manhattan (i worked there for three years in college), i was asked to help out with casino night, the yearly fundraiser. pretty much it's an excuse for all the rich people in manhattan to get together, fake gamble, drink and buy random stuff and it all benefits the kids.

this year was the fourth year i've helped out with CN, and it was probably the best one i've ever done! i actually knew what i was doing and my friend megan and i were told to just boss the other girls around and tell them what to do. which is what we did when we were at the club anyway, so it was a natural transition for us...HAHA!!  and most of us alumni staff wanted to hang out afterwards, so naturally we all went to the bars afterwards. you have to know that working with children is stressful. VERY stressful. 

i have to admit that alcohol was definitely a release for me when i worked there. not like i was an alcoholic or anything, but i definitely s

pent my fair share of time in aggieville whilst working at the club. it boils down to the fact that that job was so mentally and physically wearing that y

ou have to do something fun and uplifting so you don't end up depressed all the time. i was talking to megan at CN and i said that as much as i loved that job, my new job didn't wear me out as much because i wasn't thinking about the teens i was working with and what they were doing

 on friday when they didn't show up for teen night or if their parents had enough money to buy dinner for the weekend or if they were hanging out with their drug dealer brother or whatever it was that was going on at the moment.

here are a few pictures from the night...sorry, none of the actual event, we were too busy making MONEY to take pictures!  :)

kyle and i at pats...the best bar in the 'ville.  sorry it's blurry, we fixed the camera later...

miss megan and i!

erin and i showed up in the same dress...gosh we're hot.

the "old" crew...myself, logun, ty, erin, chris and megan.

ty and i finishing up the night...he's so photogenic.  :)  LOVE YA KID!

you can see more pictures on my facebook page.  and if you aren't my friend on facebook, why not?  am i not "awesome" enough to be facebook friends with you?  FINE THEN, I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND.  jerk.
