Words
In my job, I have to look at a lot of newspapers throughout the day. I'm astounded that these two gems came from the same publication within days of each other -- by different writers about different people.
"...incumbent [name deleted] currently holds the seat."
"...will benefit constituents locally."
Can you say "redundant?" And repetitive, too?

A True Hero
Whether or not you agree with the war, you have to support the troops (at least I hope you do).
Please go to Jason's Memorial to see why I do.

Aww, Our Little Anne is Growing Up
The infamous GSG of so many of my posts during the last few years is getting married (and not to me). And ya know what? I'm happy for him. I really am. I was actually suprised that I was happy. But I'm glad I am, as long as he is. He deserves to be.
Know what else? This is my second post this month. When's the last time I posted more than once in a month? Know what else? Number three is coming up in just a couple of minutes. Wouldn't be appropriate to put that post in with this one.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Well, yeah. I'm late. Big surprise. I really miss blogging but, and I'm not kidding or exaggerating, I really don't have time. Everytime I say "I should blog about that ..." something else pops up, and I never get around to blogging. I hate it when life gets in the way of blogging.
Know what else I hate? Being totally, completely, utterly ... and disgustingly crazy about a guy who doesn't have time for me. Not that he won't give me the time of day. He's very nice (and slightly flirty) whenever I see him and talk to him on the phone, but he literally does not have time for me, or much of anything non-work-related. It sucks. Really. He's nice and smart and honest and motivated and compassionate and funny and ... Well, you get the idea.
The saddest part about this whole thing is that while I'm pining over this guy who doesn't have time for me, another guy wants to date me (we've gone out once) and, while I think he's nice enough, I'm just not interested in anything beyond dinner and a movie, ya know? Well, I know ya don't know because I haven't explained anything. Let's just leave it at this: Remember the "Italian Guy Named Joe" thing I blogged about (briefly. Very briefly.)? Well, guy number #2 is not a Joe.

I Missed a Month?!?
I didn't blog at all in October?!? How can that be?! Well, I'm not going to promise to do better in November because, among other things, NaNo will be keeping me busy. Like I don't have enough to do. Work keeps me pretty busy, and I also have a not-so-small part in the latest play.
Anyway, just in case I don't get back here before the end of the month ... Happy Thanksgiving!

I Feel 15 Years Old!
OK. I didn't feel 15 until this just sunk in a couple of minutes ago. I've been trying to set up a phone interview with this person for a few weeks now. Well, today his PR person and I, through e-mail, finally got it set up. I asked "Will he call me or should I call him?" She said "He'll call you ..." blah blah blah. So, after it was all set I started thinking about it. DAVID CASSIDY IS CALLING ME!! Can ya believe it???

If you don't know who David Cassidy is, please don't comment. I've already dealt with two of "those."

Holy Crap!
I knew I hadn't been here for a while, but I didn't realize it had been that long! Yikes!
I kinda have an excuse though ... other than the fact that since I don't have to deal with a dial-up connection at work, I get too frustrated with it at home. Anyway ... drum roll please ... I got a promotion! That was, coincidentally enough, at about the same time I wrote my last post here.
So, do you think the fact that I finally had time to post again means I'm catching on to this whole "news director" thing? I hope so!
