Have you heard from your daughter or son? My daughter is in Div 300 and she sounds good, but tired. Interesting in hearing how your daughter or son is doing.

I'll start up the new area tonight. Since I need to go to work, can someone think of a good blurb we can say for what the purpose the group is.
I bet alot of people will misspell the name, Chicken Ship....ha...... This group will be soooo short lived.... but heck, this will be like battlestations for the mods and the admins.... "catch me if you can"....

Playin the waiting game to find out if she gets the flowers ok. Kinda nervous as idk with 100% certainty how exactly she will get them and what will happen as they come to the gate and what not. Anyone here know what time flowers are usually delivered? Id imagine it may be afternoon or so myself. She not out of class till 3p my time I believe. Will be all over my phone after 3pm waiting for a call. I may call the flower place early to see if it was delivered ok. They did say they would call me if there was a problem and they gave the florist and the delivery person special instructions.

Craig - Count me in on the USS Chicken Ship - gosh I almost misspelled that1 hahaha - let us know when it is up and running.... :o) Ill be in each day for sure!
Dave - cant wait to find out about the flower story!
jennifer - hope you get rid of that cold soon -!!!!!
Sara - when do the cows come home? :o)
