If There's A Title Out There That Fits This Post, Let It Come Forward
OK, I am officially nearly passed out.
To say that I feel I've been overdoing life lately is a little like saying that... um, that... oh forget it. Fill in your own analogy. I'm officially nearly passed out, remember?
I don't know why I thought that the end of the semester would offer me some respite from crazy-busyness. Probably because I'm insane. Or at the very least, an idiot. Because let me tell you—there is no respite in sight. I still have to finish the story for the workshop in Louisville (see last post), I have a lecture to prepare as part of my graduation requirements, I still need to send my thesis to my assigned readers for final edits, and I want to apply for a major writing grant that is due October 31.
Oh, and I guess I still need to show up for my regular 9:30-5:30 full-time job five days a week. Argh.
Speaking of my job, we had a little office debate-watching party tonight. And I don't like to toot my own horn or anything, being just chock-full of amazing amounts of humility as I am, but! I just want to say that I, out of all my co-workers, won Palin Bingo. As you can imagine, this took a great deal of talent on my part, but again, I am very humble, so please don't mention it.

Keep breathing! You can go as an exhausted person to the Halloween parties!

nice to see you back at the frogg files, beth! in answer to your question, one plays palin bingo best with the help of a few cups of wine and in the company of co-workers who unfortunately missed the first part of the debate because of sound problems in the large conference room, while you, on the other hand, cheated by watching that part on the Internet in another co-worker's office, thus shamelessly establishing an unfair advantage for yourself because you were able to mark off certain terms on your card that your fellow players couldn't possibly hear.
not that i would do anything like that, of course.
