Last Saturday I had my vocal chords handed to me at the Division Speaking Contest. I made the jumbo mistake of changing my speech. I thought that it would be a good idea to remove the story about finding poop in the toilet to eliminate the ick factor. I totally should have stuck with the ick factor because it was way funnier than what I ended up with. My original speech would have had more of a shot.
At some point, I will write out my speech and post it. I wrote bits and pieces in order to remember random jokes that I wanted to inject, but I never wrote it out in its entirety. This ended up being a great advantage to me when speaking, but I want to make sure that I do not lose that little gem.
On a brighter note, I got a dog. Her name is Izzy, and she is awesome! (Keep in mind, I usually sing the word "awesome" when describing my dog.) We put our official hold on her on Sunday, the day after my humiliation. Izzy is most definitely a better prize than a silly trophy, and she has basically taken over our lives. When I asked my husband whether he would miss me or Izzy more when leaving for a recent business trip, he responded, "Do you really want to know the answer?" Burn!
I must accomplish something today. I have big plans. Go to Sam's Club. Maybe renew my membership but definitely eat free samples. Then, I think I will hang out at Starbuck's for a while, grading papers there until the library opens. Or maybe I will just hide out and grade papers in a sample tent at Gander Mountain. That would be awesome. I should give that a shot. It will feel like a working vacation rather than just working my Sunday away.
Off to another adventure!
