We had an amazing Girl Scout meeting Wednesday, despite two of our girls missing (though perhaps that had something to do with it?). We made trefoils and the girls had to pick their favorite part of the Promise or Law and then decorate the trefoil with images and stickers related to that. Then I'm taking everything that they said and revising our group agreement based on what the 4 new girls said they thought was most important.

I'm learning it's always good to have back up projects, because we have some girls that finish really fast. Luckily we were able to get the girls going on their WOW journey maps so they got something accomplished they needed to get done while the other girls finished their trefoils.

I love this troop, and this was just the sort of meeting I needed. Occasionally meeting every Wednesday starts to feel burdensome.

I've not been incredibly successful researching about women and leadership in the USA so far... too much is going on and my evenings this week have been consumed with other activities. Good activities. I almost got myself a roommate but decided I couldn't manage a move before August! Though it does make me a little sad, I would have loved living with Catherine.

The research is for my WLDP (WAGGGS Leadership Development Program) experience coming up this October at Our Cabaña. SOOOOO excited!

And in the latest news my work 'girlfriends' are all at least 40 years older than me! We had a wonderful time last night in Jan's amazing backyard laughing, drinking, eating and gossiping!
