As kids, we came up with our own english-language version - "Suffocation."
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Was the first bee on her team? Because she seemed a bit obsessed with you as well (she was in my box after missing) and I heard her friends talking about your team afterwards. As well as others. You were clearly the man to beat.
No, the girl who beat me was on her team. The first bee was just flabbergasted by my ability to raise so much money. Our entire team's ability, really. Everyone knew about us. The folks at 826 Valencia loved the crap out of us (and her team was all 826 people besides her, whom they brought on to spell for them). The president of the Board thanked me personally. Like I said, I'm practically an 826 Valencia celebrity now, and I certainly plan to milk it every time I take someone to the pirate store now. Also, I'm going to try to start volunteering.
(Dave Eggers gave us hints about the bee at the pre-party because we were the highest fundraisers. Hee.)

The friend I came with (who is also in my book salon) just started volunteering there and is really enjoying it so far.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's Friday! What are people doing this weekend, and how many people have a three day weekend?

I have to be here on Monday to cover, even though we technically are supposed to have the day off. I'll be taking next Friday as my makeup day, though, which is good because I have a 10-minute presentation due in class next Saturday and then a 3-5 page paper due the day after. I can work on both next Friday if I don't finish them earlier in the week. All of that work is based on a phone interview I'm having with the director of the Milwaukee Public Library on Tuesday afternoon, which I am really looking forward to doing. I've got some pre-interview research to finish off this weekend so I've got a nice long list of questions to ask her.
Otherwise, I'll be swimming tonight and Sunday morning, doing some cleaning tomorrow, and cleaning off the movies I've got on my dvr during the big rain we're supposed to get on Sunday (District 9, Iron Man, and Dark Knight are all waiting for me to watch).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I do not have a three-day weekend. Tonight we host our bro-in-law and in the morning head out to the OC for nephew's bar mitzvah. Sunday, we head to the OC AGAIN for niece's baby shower (the baby is already here, as it came a week early, but that makes the shower even more fun, really). Love niece and nephew, but Orange County gives me the heebie jeebies.
