A Long Day..Then A Bit of Fun

We had a long day of meetings and seminars, learned lots...then the annual AASB scholarship fundraising dinner. After that we needed a change of scenery...several of us ran to Target to grab some little things... ohh the fundraiser was AMAZING every district donates items, then we bid on them ...omg hand carved ivory and soapstone figurines, signed items from Phil off the CM from us, handmade dolls from up north, just all sorts of wonderful Alaskan teasures. OVER 15k was raised! 15 $1000 scholarships --horray!!

6 Hours of Fabulous-ness

She's called the Glitter Queen with good reason...
Look, I do have a better pair of shoes with me....haven't worn them yet.....but I might :)

Rama is so cute! I didn't get enough pictures of Heather, but I'll make up for that before heading home.

The first day of the conference was good, at 5 Heder swung by, we went to The Glacier Brewhouse...Rama and the moose joined us shortly afterward. It was wonderful 2 of my favorite people and a delicious dinner too!! Heder had to leave us too soon :( I hope to see her lots more before going home!!

R is so fun, I need to update my wardrobe, I seem fine for home, but much too dull! I'll see her more than once every 5 years and pick up some pointers. Nothing tooo crazy, mostly better footware. She hates my lime green Danskos ---ohh they're soooo comfortable though and my feet do get tired with all the working out.

The kids are off for parent-teacher conferences, so the puppy is not alone. I owe Manderzz some clothing from Abercrombie for all her efforts...hope the girls can help me choose, I think I passed them 2x yesterday, I see Juno much more at home than traveling with her!!

Rama and Heather both need to come to Unalaska....one has an insane number of miles on her AK Air account and the other is married to and AK Air employee...helloooooo....everyone wants to meet you guys! And Rama can't wait to meet AG and CB especially, maybe not at the same time.....

LOVE the Gym..want to spend 4 Hours There

I think I get to see my old buddy AKGLITTERQUEEN today, she's CRAZY fun!! Horray!

I swan for 30 min and did the stationary bike for 45...I feel great! There were mandy more things to do in the large gym, can't wait to get back there later tonight.

Home is not a happy place, Bella and I have a definate routine...the kids are off for parent-teacher conferences, having to bribe Manderzz to fill in for me. ohhhh bother.

AASB Conference!

We had a tough time getting out of Unalaska, our 1pm flight was canceled, we were rebooked for 5:30. It made it. It was SOOO windy leaving I was terrified even with a "flying pill". I was able to calm down and sleep for about 2 hours...just in time to wake up for the horrible turbulance before we landed in Anchorage. I love to travel...just sometimes it scares me!
Keith from the Wizard and maybe some of his crew --dudes in Wizard jackets? were on the flight and Phil was at the airport too. We ignored them all! We were more fascinted about the new wacky earrings chef Jeff was sporting and saying hi to jr. (chef Jack came home after vacation)  and noticing that Juno and I chose eerily similar hats, gloves, scarves and jackets...we'll get a picture, it's scary!

I ordered soup...it was cream with a few potatoes and a dollop of sour cream! Not light at all.

Our lovely student reps Juno and BH

JC the superintendant is hiding and Dan the Library man is shown too.

 Ummm yum!! I want to be 16 or 17 again ..lol I had ice tea.

Taking a bit of advice from CB, I actually unpacked and didn't leave my stuff strewn all over the room, I never thought about that until I heard about that from the other point of view!

I don't have the awesome Halloween pictures from AG's house darn it! So when I get home I'll post those. Must get to bed I HAVE to swim and ride a bike before the conference...my indoor tri-athelon is getting close to being done and I'm just half done!
