Fantastic Friday!


I'm almost reluctant to bump the On a Serious Note post down. There's such awesome discussion going on. If you haven't already, join the commenting!

Fantastic Thing-that-happened-in-the-last-week #1) See above. Awesome discussion. (And it's almost at 20 comments, which is a record for me and makes me very excited. People read my blog! *tear in eye*)

Thing #2) Wisdom teeth removal = very misshapen face. But the Fantastic Thing is that I no longer look like an orc. Yay!

Thing #3) Forgot to mention this last Fantastic Friday; it's another vacation story. Well, more a statement: mirror mazes ROCK. If you ever have a chance to go through one, DO IT. Felt like I stepped into a Harry-Potter/Alice-in-Wonderland world. The best part was when my sister found a little chair in a corner and I, being brilliant, screamed "TRAP DOOR!" which resulted in her leaping up, screaming like she was dying, and running away. Though running in a mirror maze is a very stupid thing to do...good times, good times.

Thing #4) Visited mi prima on Wednesday! It was awesome. We talked books, visited her church, made Chinese food, went shopping. Tis fun to have writing in the family :)

Thing #5) I survived the first week of the new quarter. Yay, school again. Ahem. Good thing: so far, I'm passing all my classes. Haha

Thing #6) What is now called The Tudor Tool (and will probably change again) is now the love of my (immediate) life. I bought an Avril Lavigne CD for inspiration, and the moment I started listening to it, Crystal started going off about what she wants to see happen, who she wants to meet, what she wants to do/not do, etc etc. Love. This. Book.

Thing #7) I must stop buying things for my 100th Blog Post Extravaganza. I keep finding things that I MUST add to the Prize Package of Pure Awesomeness, and it's getting a little out of hand. There are now 8 different things in this Prize Package of Pure Awesomeness, and it's name says it all. It is pure awesomeness. I'm considering splitting it into two separate prizes. Maybe...whatever I do, you want to win this. You do. 3 posts, and someone will rightfully claim the Prize Package of Pure Awesomeness as their own...

I've only written the first 250 words so far, but maybe a snipppet would be a good idea...

Renee Collins said...

Ah, wisdom teeth removal. Good times. :)

Also, I can't wait for your 100th post party! Woo Hoo!

Samantha said...

OMG! Wisdom teeth! My mom came to visit me (from London) after I'd had all four of mine pulled out. My face was soooo swollen she didn't even recognize me. She walked right by me.

Aggh. I feel your pain!

Yes! Post more of The Tudor Tool! I'm nearly ready to share some from The House of Graves. I have two drafts started: one in the first and one in the third. I'm actually digging the one in third more. Hmmm. Maybe I'll post both.

Sara Raasch said...

Ooo yes, post both, Sam! I'll post my snippet soon...I'm kind of ill right now :(
