HA-HA-Ha-liday and other miscellany

so i'd forgotten that i have to "moderate" comments on this here blog and i was feeling very much unloved (and therefore stopped writing). and then i realized that i had several comments pending my approval & yet to be published. long story short, i had lots that were just spam comments or whatever and only two good ones (from two of my favorite people and you know who you are). so with two easy clicks, they are now published.

and while i didn't publish this one, i did laugh, out loud. and i quote:

"Are you a lover of animals not? if any, to invite you to my blog my blog .on many lovely animals. http://petverylovely.blogspot.com/"

there are so many things i love about that, that i'm not even going to mention them. just take it for what it is, have a few laughs, and now give me your full attention.

ahem.

CCN 10 is just days away. and if you don't know what CCN is, you probably shouldn't be reading this because clearly you don't know me. so i ask you...what will YOU be doing october 25?

yikes, i have gotten off to quite a sarcastic start, have i not? something i'm working on not doing. but i think that's the theme of my life--making plans and not facing the music (as a wise friend once said).

and speaking of wise friends. a wise friend's brother told her that she needed to do two things (i don't remember the context). but one of them was to get enough sleep. because if you don't you'll look haggard. and i looked in the mirror just now, and haggard is the exact word i'd use.

loverly.

in other news, i get to take a miniature solo road trip to meet up with my bff beth in columbus ohio. i am so totally excited to see her. she bid on a room on hotwire and we're going to take what get, hope for the best, and get up early to drink coffee, do a crossword puzzle, and then proceed to take columbus by storm. i, for one, would like to stop by the ohio state student union, where the best-ever flash mob dance was executed and recorded. youtube it. just type in "ohio state flash mob dance." you will not regret it. and if you do, i will pay you one dollar.

why, you ask? because i am NOW EMPLOYED!

well, i have been for a while but i just transitioned into my new role as counselor. loving it, so much!

more later, my friends. for now, i've got to pack for my trip, organize my closet, brew** a giant pot of chai tea and watch project runway late into the night. tgif tomorrow! yahoozers.

**rlw4@calvin.edu has forever marred my perception of the word "brew." you know who you are. and i was not the only one so traumatized. (right, ajb5?)

love to all, merry ccn, and happy weekend!

  2. There are several things that this post made me realize...
    1. i need to tell you to keep writing even if no one posts because i get super excited when i see you post something new, i lol (that's laugh out loud) when reading your posts, and i miss l.t. (that's you) even more after reading your blog!
    2. CCN 2010 rhymes this year! almost like it's calling us to make up a theme song for it.
    3. traumatized is a good word to describe what happens when i hear the word "brew"...and before i saw that you had a little asterisk with explanation, i was already thinking about the perfect brewing temperature and cringing.
    4. there's a new P.R. up online and i better go watch it!
