Top 5 Things I've Thought About Blogging About

but haven't.

1. Annual Evaluation - one year down at work. And it turns out they like me. Go figure.
2. Office In Motion - I've now moved offices five times since I started my job. Wandering illustrator indeed.
3. Plotting And Scheming - I've been working on plans for Keffy's bridal shower and it is going to be FANtastic, if I do say so myself. And I do.
4. Elusive Mat Board - I spent a ridiculous amount of time last weekend trying to find a Michael's store that had white mat board in stock. I finally found some at the third store I visited. Apparently I had forgotten that I don't live in Augusta anymore - turns out there are two REAL LIVE ART STORES within three miles of my new house. They have an endless supply of actual art products with nary a multicolored basket aisle or faux-flower section in sight.
5. Big Sky Country - I'm headed to Montana next week for a conference. I've never been to Montana, so that's cool. And I get to see Keffy. And it's only supposed to be about 80 degrees. Score.
5.1 The Boy Who Lived - the new (and final!) Harry Potter book comes out next weekend! Do you realize I have been waiting for this book for nearly NINE. YEARS? I got the first book for Christmas from my cousin Cassie back in 1998 and have been not-so-patiently waiting for each subsequent book ever since. So, that's awesome. I'll probably buy myself a copy in Montana. After I convert my dollars to Montana money, of course.

I was going to bow up and defend Augusta, but then I remembered that I don't live there anymore.

Still, they had Bailey's. No faux flower's there.

And I *still* need your new address! Unless you don't want the photo anymore, in which case I'll cry for a while, then get over it, then take it to my office. Just let me know.

The word verification on my last comments was "wwvwd."

What would Volkswagon do?

Kristen said...

I gave my new address to your lovely wife a couple weeks ago. Hmmm... I will get it to you today, because I definitely want the photo!

Volkswagon would send Kristen the photo, I'm pretty sure. :-)

you're leaving the country?

Kristen said...

Yes, fortunately my passport is good through 2009. I really hope the exchange rate is good.

And, hey! Will's giving me free stuff. On my blog, he can pluralize "flower" however he sees fit - he could go all gangsta on our asses and call them "flowerz" if he wants to. That's just the way we roll here at Wandering Illustrator. You give me stuff, you don't get ridiculed for mis-types. Unless you use "your" and "you're" interchangeably; then we're through.

Y-O-U apostraphe R-E is you are, Y-O-U-R is your.

Have fun in Montana. Do they speak Montanese there?

Oh... and my word verification is ukpukney. Does that sound like another term for vomit or it is just me?

Jo said...

is it, it is... apparently these are now interchangeable in sentences. Sigh.

HEY. No making fun of the Western states. We've got mountains, and white water, and, uhm, republicans?

patrick | steed said...

you have republicans? wow.

"uuughhh!!! we are SO over." "uh! uh! FINE BY ME!" "AND HEY! it's NOT THAT COMMON, it DOESN'T happen very often, AND IT IS A BIG DEAL!!!!"

"I KNEW IT!!"

jugsbrlf (huh huh huh)
