Acceptance Speech

Hello everyone,
I have been informed that I am the BLMVP. First of all, I'd like to thank my competitors, Jodi and Lindsay. It was an honor just to be nominated with these lovely and talented ladies, but, let's be honest, the best woman won.

Actually, Nicole probably picked me because she felt bad that her stupid cat peed in my clothes.

As many of you know, I now have a master's degree, so that means I can boss all of you around, except for KJW, who also has a master's degree.

Because of my extensive qualifications, I am going to go outside the norm for picking a book. I am picking two.

"Two?" you ask incredulously. That's right, bitches! Two! As we all know, Ski to Sea 2010 is approaching, and, I want everyone to have plenty of time to read the stunning book I have selected THE HANDMAID'S TALE by MARGARET ATWOOD.

So, I propose, to enhance the fun-ness of our pre-Ski to Sea carbo-loading/bonding, we take a page from 2008's book (literature joke!) and each read a Sweet Valley High book and prepare a short book report.

Let me know what y'all think.
XOXO,

Ski to Sea 2010 and beyond

I think that from now on, we should name our Ski to Sea team after the condition of the Nooksak River in the previous year:
- Swollen Nooksak
- Cooperative Nooksak
- Narrow Nooksak
- Wide Nooksak
- Slow Nooksak
- Dirty Nooksak
- Shrunken Nooksak

etc.

Ski to Sea 2009

So? Are you other BLers hardcore training or is it just me?

You know, as awesome as I am, I can't win on my own.

BLS2S09

Poopsies,

I'm not sure where I'll be living in May, so don't count me 100% in for S2S09. Don't count me out, though, either.

And I am horrible at cross-country skiing, so do not, do not, do NOT count me in for that. Well, not for sure.

Count me in for The Great Personality Club, though.

My Book

This is the book I chose to read for the next meeting;

I am excited to read this book (and am anxiously awaiting it to arrive from (the) Amazon. I am excited to see what the race was all about and who inherited what.

I am also very excited for this next meeting because I want all of my friends who drink to be together again. I feel as if I don't have many drinking friends around town anymore and well, I like to drink and I really just can't drink alone. I also don't know how many more times I can be at the Beaver and hear 'Shoop' without one of you there. It makes me cry everytime.

Also, what the H is going on with Ski to Sea? I am training right now (for what event, I have no idea) and really like the idea of doing 'Mostly Sober May' again. Did I also mention that I like the idea of getting first in the book club division for the second year in a row?

Seriously. Maybe Grandma Betty can be part of our team this year ?
