Things resulting from me having to change J's and my vacation plans:Have to pay $200.
Have deep seated and alternating feelings of guilt and anguish over turning down money help from three sources. Stupid pride.
Miss my brother, who was going to meet us there.
Possibly miss my dad, who was also going to meet us there.
Have no vacation now for a month and a half.
Have to fly back into New York on September 11th.
At 9am.
Feel guilty for making J fly at a stressful time when he does not like to fly at all.
Things mentioned that will make me cry today:
Money
Vacation
Fun
Things that will make me laugh:
Slogan on side of van for electrical contractors, but which is also probably a t-shirt somewhere: Big enough to serve you. Small enough to know you.
AP headline: Rapper C-Murder Charged with Attempted Murder
Violent Stick People. Scroll down for foaming bears and giant tennis balls.
Things I will pitch to you if you live in New York:
Book fair! Extended to this weekend. New books, $2.
Aspiring writer seminar: Publishing a Humorous Essay with panalists A.J. Jacobs (humor writer and editor for Esquire magazine), Sarah Vowell (author of The Partly Cloudy Patriot and a frequent contributor to This American Life), Cynthia Kaplan (author of Why I'm Like This), Jonathan Lazear (agent whose clients include Al Franken and Terry Gross) and Geoff Kloske (editor, Simon & Schuster). August 9th.
People who deserve a Happy Birthday:
Shana
Lu
Heather
Kathy
Phrase I promised I would put on my blog:
Lu's birthday was crazy! All I'm going to say is that at one point, Krista had Lu's underwear on her head.
