News in Brief
I haven't updated in a minute! Wow....look at me, having a real life and shit!
Work -- goes well! We had ourselves a little Kill Bill party after class but before Back to School Night on Wednesday. Don't worry, it was just us teachers. We needed a violence outlet so we don't stick our kids heads in a door and slam it while saying "Where's Bill?!"
Probably won't get paid for another few weeks which SUCKS!!!! I am so grateful for people who have stepped up and helped me out when I really needed it though. By "me" I mean Old Gold Soul. Some people REALLY believe in my work and go above and beyond to support it, and I so appreciate that.
I met somebody.
Amazon has been good with keeping my book in stock. And the ranking (which I usually don't pay attention to) has been pretty good! I guess word is getting out?
The mailing is almost ready! I will be able to send out the first round on tomorrow morning. No going out for me tonight unless I can get somebody to help.
I haven't mentioned Hurricane Katrina in my blog yet. You know, generally I discuss these things in real life since this is a real world disaster and I don't really think the people who read my blog are generally "moved" by blogs in that way. (Translation: I can't make y'all bamas do anything you didn't already want to do, including buying my book, lol)
BUT...I will say this. Lots of people wonder how we can help. Sure, donate to the Red Cross or whatever your favorite charity is. Do all the things everyone else is doing -- it's never too much.
But remember New Orleans six months, twelve months, eighteen months from now and beyond. How? GO TO NEW ORLEANS!!! The city thrives on tourism. We need to spend our money in New Orleans. If you are a conference planner, plan your conference for New Orleans. Fire and Ink, holla back ;-) The Sigma Gamma Rhos are having their Boule in New Orleans next year -- I hope they still have it there!
Visit New Orleans when it's open again....they need us now more than ever.
I have a lot of events coming up. Right after my mailing tomorrow, I will have time to actually strategize some things. A little disappointed at something that happened regarding an event on the 24th, but that, too, will get fixed.
I guess it's shower time....have a good day, everyone!
