Coming Attractions

A trip to Chicago to visit family and friends* and do touristy things.
*with an additional trip to Madison, Wisconsin to pester Suzy and Ed.

I'm reading this with The Actor and Garbo.

MathMan and I are going to attend my 25th class reunion.

I'm reading this and studying the drawings as I try to learn to sketch on my own.

I'm brushing up on my French slang so I can chat with an old friend.

I'm reading this with The Actor. Until I start sobbing. Then he may want me to stop reading it.

I'm reading this with Garbo. Yes, we do British accents.

I'm going to read this and do the exercises contained in the book.
If I'm ever going to attempt to be published, I need to get going now.
Life is short.

Which brings me to the point of this post. I'm taking some time off. I still have to work full time and things are going to be busy at the office. We're getting ready to move and we've got our big annual meeting coming up in July. And the more I get a hang of the communications piece of my job, the more time consuming it is because I find new projects, new platforms, etc.

So there will be plenty of long walks, lazying about reading books, writing exercises in long hand, meandering conversations with friends, singing with the family Rock Band and kicking the Spawns' butts in the XBox version of American Idol, family game nights, the drinking of beer, the sipping of wine, the eating of home prepped meals and some face time with The Dancer during what might prove to be her last summer at home.

The current plan is to post once a week. We still have a Matchbox Theater video to do (Thanks, Suzy!) plus several other video ideas in the making......and with all this family time, there's bound to be the need for me to blow off steam by writing a scathing post about a laundry list of grievances real and imagine, large and small, smelly and not so smelly.

I'm also thinking that there will be a time when I need to tell you about that thing I plan to do with the fireworks, the dildo and the keg of beer. But I have to see how it all works out before I write about it......

Have a wonderful summer, y'all. Grab my rss feed if you want to know when a post is up. And for goodness sake, be sure to check out the talent on my blogrols. Smart, funny, wicked, snarky, clever, artistic, brilliant....it's all there. This chick knows how to pick friends, I tell you what.........

Hit it, girls..........
