Quick update

February 28, 2005 - Posted by danielle

I wanted to tell you where things stand currently.

My presentation was more or less done on Sunday night, just in time for me to take a break to listen to Chris Rock’s opening monologue of the Oscar’s. I actually liked the opening film remembrance part better. But that is beside the point.

I knew I wouldn’t have time to work on it today. Today, I really only had 10 minutes here or 20 minutes there to print out any of the information that I want to review in order to ease the spilling-of-the-factoids-out-of-my-brain. You know, for airplane reading… and waiting area reading (Do I know how to have a good time, or what? I say there is nothing like a handful of file folders of really dense material to make the flight just whiz on by, eh?)

I have tomorrow off work Thank goodness because we are getting a lot of snow, as I write this at oh, (checking clock) 9:39 p.m.

If I had to pack tonight, dig my car out in the morning, go into Boston for half a day and then get to Providence before flying out, I think I’d have a stroke.

Anyway, I’m babbling. Sorry.

So, I’ll spend tomorrow practicing my talk a couple of times (I might tweak it if I need prompting here or there), shoveling snow, packing, and reviewing info.

Oh, and petting the Girlie lots, cause she is going to miss me ya know. (no worries, we have someone coming in to check on her, but it isn’t the same for her, of course)

And then … and then, I’m trying to take it all one step at a time and not envision Wednesday, cause it makes my stomach a ball of nerves.

I hope to kidnap HB’s computer on Wed night long enough to tell you how my presentation went in a post.

But you know, I feel pretty good about it, all in all.

Thanks again to everyone for all of the well wishes. :-)

    Thanks for the update, Danielle.

    You know, “they” say if you’re practicing for a big presentation, it’s a good idea to film yourself, and then watch it to see if there’s anything you might want to change or tweak. (Of course, I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone who’s actually DONE that, LOL.)

    Hope you’re leaving a laptop for Girlie to sleep on while you’re away. (Of course, she might start her own website while you’re gone, like Mouse did, and tell everyone how mean you were to leave her…..)

    Best wishes and many prayers for safe travel and lots of confidence in your presentation.

    God bless,

    LadyBug
