Ideas Ideas

While cleaning today I was listening to the soundtrack and had a semi-brilliant idea. I am quite excited for the Leaving party and I have been chewing on various ideas for favors. What better gift than the gift of music? Martha Stewart would applaud my efforts.

Each song says "Hoopla! I'm leaving" -- but then I looked at each song and thought "Remember when Mandy and I sang this in the middle of the library" or "Remember when Brian and I would blast this song on the way to 6AM football practice?" So each song is dedicated to someone (or a group of people) and I wrote a little love note under the title of each song. The list will be printed inside the CD case with my contact information (Well, the little bits that I know).

The playlist has been altered since the previous post - but it is not finalized. Considering half of the people reading this post are mentioned on the CD, I will refrain from posting the contents until after the party.

OK - It's cheesy. But I like cheesy.

Next week is the final week of PRPL. I am not sure how I will live the rest of my life without playing dodgeball, but I am pretty sure I can handle it. As bad as some of the little ones were, I'm still going to miss them. Except for those who drew blood or inflicted serious pain upon me. I want them as far away as possible.

AND - in other exciting news (for those who I didn't call and scream the news to) - Mark won the election. He informed me that when I visit Ireland I get a tour of parliament. I'm really proud that my spiritual advisor accomplished his quest for world domination - or at least one of the steps.

As for me -- I'm still a work in progress.
