Office calendar says this today:

"When we rush in, we often want to rush out."

I read this and I keep thinking about the band "Rush"...it makes me think I should listen to them. I don't know enough.

Then it makes me think of crazy Paula Abdul and her song "Rush Rush" with the video starring Keanu Reeves.

Then I think of scooby doo singing the song as "Hush Hush".

Now that I showed you my brain map of that quote...read the quote again.

So much better like that right Paula?

I've signed up to take a Children's Book Writing class at Gotham Writer's Workshop (thanks Liz). So far the class has been great for me, since the first class I've written a show, read three books, and cooked crab cakes from scratch.
I've done everything but write the children's book...and it's due in less than a week. It's not because of the class...the teacher is doing a great job to inspire everyone to write.
Perhaps I have writers block...I'm not quite sure what that feels like, but maybe that's it.
I know the stories, I have a bout five I could write, but they are all in my head.
When I put them down on paper I think "this story sucks. kids will tell me that it's an impossible story."
So I start over and try to make it more fun and less impossible. By replacing a million dollars with a lifetime supply of gummy bears.

That's more realistic right?

I think I'm watching too much deal or no deal.

I just received a desktop calendar for work with little inspirations.
Today it says:
"The mind can absorb no more than the seat can endure." - Janet Trasli

So does this mean that I am an idiot because I like to keep moving?

Okay...I haven't posted in a while..in fact this is the first post this year I have written.
And all the thanks can go to Jen Hammaker. She has "tagged" me...What is a tag? Well it's blog game where I've been asked to tell you all a list of 5 things you don’t know about me.
I'm scared that one of you will read this and know all of these things...so I'm going to dig into my secret chest and pull out the things I think I forgot about.

1) My middle name is Edna (most everyone knows that). As a child I had a next door neighbor named Edna who was my 4 year old best bud. She always spent a lot of time getting her hair braided and it made me incredibly jealous as I had floppy boring hair that got in my eyes. So one day I asked her to braid my hair...being the 4 year old who gets braided she didn't know how to do it so she cut my hair off.
My mom didn't let me play with her anymore.

2) I worked out yesterday and listened to "We didn't start the fire", Neverending Story", and "I would do anything for love" and never hit skip.

3) I once spent a night on the street talking to a homeless woman in a wheelchair about her entire life. I saw her years later and she didn't recognize me.

4) When I was a teenager I would sleepwalk all over my neighborhood and wake up at the neighbors house on their front porches. (notice this sentence is plural..this happened more than once.)

5) Deep down I wish I had enough attitude in me to get fake nails.

Okay...next up
Let's see what these ladies..and a Baer have in their closets...
