Stoood up? No, not really

So, last thursday I was supposted to meet with my mentor, Chamlee. But, she did not show up. Was I stood up?
No, she had something to do wit  her daughter and forgot. It so hard to keep in touch with her, It's hard scheduling a meeting with her because our schedules are so conflicting..ohwell we will find time some how or another, Saturday is my big dinner with the girls. I can't wait! I'm soooo excited. I'll post a blog on Saturday telling you what was going on!

Chamlee, Mac-N-Cheese, and Pride&Prejudice

All the girls loved
this movie and
thought he was
really cute! (Well,
I'll have to agree!)

     So, I'm leaving for NYC tomorrow and I am verrrry excited! However, before that I am having another meeting my my mentor, Chamlee today at 4:00. We are going to talk about the Thanksgiving Feast I have planned fro on November 20th....that's coming up real quick! As far as food goes, I am gonig to have stuffing and a Turkey, Mac-N-Cheese, green bean casserole, croissant roles, and I'm trying to figure out what else to have. Anywho, while that is in progress, I have to fill you in on last weeks visit with the girls!

     As you might remember from a previous blog, my heart really broke when I saw 'smile' written on a pumpkin that one of the girls made. This girl hardly ever smile, or talks. While I was there on Thursday we started to talk and to bond. After dinner she even asked to play a board game with me (which is a big deal to play a board game at the home). After she asked me to play, she mumbled "wow, I never thought I would ask YOU to play with me" Maybe I'm doing something right, or wrong...only time will tell.

     A group from Wofford also came that night and showed the movie Pride and Prejudice and ate cookies. When they came, I kind of felt like a lost puppy because there was so many of the Wofford girls there, and only one me. That was okay though, I enjoy the movie!

I'll fill you in on how the meeting goes with Chamlee! Thanks for listening'!

stress?

Stress, stress, and more stress. The past couple weeks have been VERRRRRY busy for me becasue of school, so I have not been able to plan as much as I would like to have for my November activitywith the girls at the grils home. So far, it is scheduled to have a thanksgiving dinner at the girls home on November 20th (Saturday) and the time is undecided. Today, I am going to see all the girls and help tutor them. While there, I plan to ask what they would like to eat for the meal I will be cooking and preparing for. I'm nervous about tonight, becasue I am helping tutor them. If scared that if they ask a question and I am unable to answer it! Oh well, I will try my best. Before we wat our meal, I want ot have an actual activity planned for the girls. I was thinking about making pillows, like assigned in September. (This failed to happen becasue I had to get premission to have all the activities, and I has not yet had permission to do so) I'll ask Chamlee about that...

So, I'm off to the girls home! I post later about what we do and how everything goes!
