Allyson! It's so nice to see your font!
Okay, so I have cheerleading tryouts tomorrow. My 30+ girls petered out to a core of 16-18 who have shown up each day. We have practices that start 90 minutes before school starts, which is a nice way to weed out contenders.
I'd originally intended on having a squad of 16, but now I'm thinking smaller? Like go with fewer who are better or should I just accept all 16 come what may?
I also have to fundraise $300 to send two girls to cheer camp because I can't choreograph and do cheers on my own. Then I have to help the girls fundraise $250 each for uniforms.
And, did I mention? I'm not getting paid for this? Because I can only have one stipend and I'm taking it for academic decathalon (for which I need to also get 10 copies some books, including the very brief history of the French Revolution and copies of
Tale of Two Cities
)and not cheer?
I kinda want to cry.
Will the fundraising be easier if you have fewer girls?
Facebook is all aflutter over this Texas bill. My favorite comment so far...
[Name] doesn't see what all of the fuss is about, obviously gay marriage and theatrical lighting design are THE two major threats to our very existence.
Has anyone ever ordered from Athleta? I'm looking at their catalog and I love it but I wonder how the fit is and if it's worth the price.
Ugh Kat. That's a lot of unpaid work. And a lot of fundraising.
Has anyone ever ordered from Athleta?
I have, Cash. I try to buy on sale. I like most of the stuff I've gotten.
sarameg, before you call in pesticides, I beg you to try diamateous earth. It's made of awesome and food-grade diamateous earth is fine for pets to be around. I use it liberally in my yard and around the foundation of my house and it keeps ALL exoskeleton out of your life.
Oh, wow. I just clicked over to an American Masters on PBS about how the Chinese have been portrayed in Hollywood.
The Athleta catalog is very nice but the prices in Activa are better. I have found the sizing in Athleta to be pretty good, or no worse than the other women's sports catalogs. My sister joined the Diva club on Activa, which gives you discounts and free shipping, which is nice.
I'll check that out, thanks! It's difficult finding good, plus sized athletic wear.
No problem. I may have some kind of psychological dependency--I get Activa, Athleta, Title 9, and something called Teddy, which is all bicycling gear. I want ALL the clothes!
