Why I will never be a Tour Guide.....

Its an exciting time at Purdue these few weeks as we are having STAR and hosting all of the incoming freshman, transfer students and their parents.

This morning I was called upon to go meet up with the entire STAR group after the Purdue presentation and lead back our students and their familes across campus to MTHW for our presentation. I was quite excited to be all official and get to meet some of our new students!

I made my way to Wetheril, which I had never been to before, and after getting my name screamed out of a vehicle going by Oval Drive, (thanks for scaring the pants off me Mary!) I found my way to the building and wandered around untill I found the auditorium and made my way in to the front and sat down and waited for the presentation to end.

It went on longer than expected, although we did sing a rousing rendition of "Hail Purdue" which I can't help it, it gets me every time. The Black and Gold just starts flowing through my veins when that song comes on!!

So we dismiss and I get to hold up my sign and wave at hundreds of people, feeling just so proud to be a representative of our college! Finally everyone makes their way down to the front and we leave the auditorium and try to head outside and go across campus to MTHW to get them signed into CFS.

Well, here is where it gets embarassing. Having never been in Wetheril before, I was a tad discombobulated, and headed towards a door different than the one I came in. And proceeded to lead, or try to lead over 75 people DOWNSTAIRS TO THE BASEMENT! Not outside, but to the BASEMENT! I got down there and there were probably 15 people directly with me and I said oh no. We went the wrong way, back upstairs! I felt SO EMBARASSED!!! Their first impression of us and me, the nincompoop leads them not outside, but down to the basement of Wetheril.. Sigh...

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
