	DAILY UPDATE 12:06 AM 10/7/2008 today's post is going to be positive and upbeat because october is my favorite month out of the year and i'm sure you guys are totally sick of hearing about my busy season woes. well, for the record, i'm sorry....sorry that i don't have more understanding readers, that is. haha. just kidding. for some odd reason you guys keep coming back for more (is it because you feel bad about your own lives and then you read about mine and realize that things aren't so terrible, after all?) which is why i keep delivering like the champ that i am. speaking of champs.... dude at office: wow, so you're running the half marathon next week? me: yeah, i've been training since the beginning of july. dude at office: jesus. if i had to run a half marathon tomorrow, it'd take me like... two hours or something. me: (uncomfortable pause) ummm, actually, it's probably going to take me well over two hours. dude at office: oh. oh, well... yeah, i mean... well i used to run cross country and track in high school, you know? me: yeah. well, i was in the marching band. anyway, since i promised a positive update, i would like to take this time to now thank all of my friends who have managed to pull me through another bad busy season. sometimes i swear this is worse for you guys than it is for me. i might have to deal with a lot of crap at work but at least i don't have to put up with a cranky connie. so thanks a bunch, from the very bottom of my cold, unfeeling heart. i mean that sincerely. normally i would love to blow my entire raise on a nice dinner for everybody but i'm not sure how you all feel about eating at mcdonald's (dollar menu only, please). HAHA. oh, if only i was being sarcastic. since it seems as if i am completely incapable of writing a genuinely upbeat post, i'm gonna log off for now. besides, catching up on beauty sleep is a critical part of building up enough stamina to stagger all 13.1 miles to the finish line next sunday. if i actually manage to finish this thing, drinks are on me. only i will be too tired to drink so you guys can just take my credit card and have fun. remember, only at mcdonald's though, i'm still poor. before i go, here are two pictures that made me laugh: jack's yahoo messenger rendition of my sister barging into my room unannounced. keri just unearthed the classiest picture of me EVER from our paris trip in 2005, where we literally spent all week debating about what the bidet is used for (clearly, i had the right idea). "it's a tub for little babies" and "maybe a convenient way to rinse off feet" were some of the theories being tossed around. my friends are idiots. but i love them anyways. xoxo.
