flip flops and ponytails

You know about this, right?

I better see your head nodding. Because OF COURSE you know about Casual Blogger Conference, AND you already have your ticket and have planned the shoes you'll be wearing that weekend.

Right?

More head nodding?

Yeah, I don't have my shoes planned. I'm thinking I'll be in flip flop mode by then, so you can probably expect to see me there in something casual.

You'll know me, because I'll be the fat chick with ponytails and flip flops.

I'm not sure which special guest I'm looking forward to most. They all look really glamorous and important. (Which will contrast really great with my chubby ponytailishness.) I think I'm most interested in the photographers that are coming. As in, not anyone taking pictures of me, but those who are teaching the subject. Because anyone who takes a picture of me while at the conference will have to die a slow and painful death. Either that or your camera will break. Because I belong behind and not in front of a camera. Trust me. (Flip flops, remember.)

I think the most thing about Casual Blogger Conference I'm looking forward to is having a weekend away from my kids!!! WHOOOOO.

And meeting all of you, of course. (But that one was a given.)

I hope you have fun! I'm not going-but if I were, I would totally rock flip-flops and ponytails.

Dang. We're gonna have to fight over the chubby ponytail slot. Because at present? I'm all over it.

GIVEAWAY (of the photo Christmas card variety)

I think I just creeped out my four year old. I pulled out the, "You'd better go to bed because Santa's Elves are watching you to make sure you're being good!" routine. His eyes got big, and round, and scared. And he said, "Why would they do that?!" Also, our church building burned down yesterday. No wait, it didn't. But the alarm went off, and the entire ward just sat there in the chapel (and gym, because we have an enormous ward.) I sat there too. I don't know what everyone else was thinking, but the thought going through my head was, "Can somebody please get that alarm turned off, it is WAY TOO LOUD!!!!" Seriously, I think our ward is now 37% deafer after that. Oh, and there was no actual fire. And the first fire truck to show up was driven by one of our ward members who was on duty that day. Good times. And now, that GIVEAWAY: For procrastinators everywhere (that would include me) I'm giving away one free photo Christmas card d

snow day

Yesterday was a "snow day". As in, it snowed 6+ inches overnight so the school district called all the parents at 5:00 AM with a recorded message in Spanish telling them the schools were closed. Yes, I said AT 5:00 AM. IN SPANISH. I'm pretty sure we still speak English in the U.S. even if it's well before dawn. I didn't answer my phone so my voicemail recorded it all, it was a pretty long message for such a short topic. I mean, they could have just said, "SNOW DAY!" and all the parents would be like, "OK!" And then we could all get back to our sleeping. But no. Long Spanish message. (At 5 AM.) A few minutes after hearing the phone go off I checked the message just in case someone had died or something (since that's pretty much the only time someone SHOULD call me that early). I had no idea what the message said in my half-asleep state, but I coudln't go back to sleep so finally I woke up for real and listened again. I h
