various and sundry half-awake thoughts for your Thursday

Not surprisingly, I’ve been up to my ears in ScrapFest! stuff: tickets, workshops, mug design, something special we’re keeping secret design, and I’m starting t-shirt design this afternoon.  I’ve been burning the candle at both ends, as they say.  And I’m either half-awake or half-asleep right now as we wait for the school bus this morning.  I’m afraid it’s looking like posts will be sketchy (or maybe just random photos) until ScrapFest! because I’m busier than usual.  This is just plain wrong.  And so, I thought I’d write some various and sundry thoughts while I have a little downtime this morning.

  • Last week in Shreveport, I found myself in a hotel elevator with strangers who were debating what floor they were staying on.  For a moment when the doors opened, I thought about saying aloud “third floor: men’s haberdashery, millinery, furs, and fine jewelry.”  
  • Also, back in my hometown, I was introduced to my great uncle’s brother, Kerry.  I was then told his name was the inspiration for the spelling of my name (that NO ONE ever spells correctly).
  • While making room on my messy desk for my new iMac, I discover 4 cards for friends that I bought and misplaced.  I do this a lot.
  • Matthew Sweet is phenomenal.  
  • Over the past week, starting in S’port, I’ve watched the entire 3rd season of 30 Rock and have laughed out loud during each eppie and can’t stop quoting Tina Fey’s “I want to go to there” statement.  Funny stuff.
  • Today Megs says to Bethy and me that she thought her iPhone screen was broken when she turned it on and saw the “crack in the apple.”  I told her that was the logo.  

I’m leaving you with some of my favorite scenes from 30 Rock, because I bet you need a laugh as much as I do. 

I think you’ll all agree that “I love this cornbread so much, I want to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant” is pretty much the funniest thing ever said. I thought so.
