**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**

DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know

It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members.

That's what my problem is, I don't know when the heck she'll have time to do service hours. Apparently for the purposes of the application every time they cheered counted as 1/2 credit or something. They did a few things as a group for cheer, such as collected and donated to the women's shelter last year. They put volunteer opportunities on the announcements that get emailed home to the parents, so I can kind of watch and see what fits into her schedule if she doesn't see it. We'll see what happens.

so the meeting didn't help much huh??

I thought it was funny, Jordyn got a postcard from Baylor last week that said "90% of our students get financial aid in the form of either merit or need based scholarships" I asked Jordyn if that meant that 10% of the students there barely made it in academically, but were too rich. How else could they NOT get a scholarship then?? Jordyn said Baylor was a no for sure, partly because it was private and expensive (at least I've taught her something), but also because outside of the Baylor campus, Waco is not exactly a place she'd want to be at all, even if it was less than an hour from home. At least she thought it through and had some good reasons. However, in the plus category for Baylor, they keep the Baylor Bears on campus, the actual bears which she thought was "super cool". LOL!

depending on your price range, the nflshop has a winter madness going on. There is a lot more redskins stuff on it than the lions gear.

Yes, I am the one at the post office most of the time also. DSS requested a tree stand for christmas, I think for gun, heck I don't know. I asked DH last night if a tree stand can fit in a suitcase to fly back with him and he said no, but we can mail it. Umm, what's the point, and who's going to end up at the post office mailing it, or at least getting the emails asking why it hasn't been mailed yet...

Jordyn's camera went down in price again. I am going to call my brother after work and see if his offer to buy it is still open and I'll pay him when he gets here at christmas. I am just thinking its never going to be that price after the holidays and I am afraid she's not going to have the money saved up in time for the New York trip. We can all do a joint gift, or she can give him the $300 she already has saved up for it and it will be a 1/2 joing gift for christmas only from him, my parents and DH and I. If not, it'll be a christmas and birthday gift from all of us and she can keep the money, but it has to be one or the other, though that means I can't get her birthday stuff, which you know I'll want to. I know my brother was planning on giving her money for her birthday also to spend in New York, and my only fear is that the money she has for her camera, if she doesn't pay for part of it, will get spent and she won't have spending money for New York. Does that make sense, am I over thinking this??
