Seriously Weird | Posted by Jannie on 3 November 2009 @ 4:07 PM
1. Get a haircut unlike any I’ve ever had. Maybe something like this…
2. Hang out in a cafe all day writing in my Moleskine and looking mysterious in a long black knit dress and a hat like this…

3. Hang out at Austin’s Driskill Hotel drinking margaritas, eating fine food and making new friends.
3. Hang out at the airport (until I get booted out) with an official-looking clipboard, asking strangers if they blog and if they do, hand them my business card.
4. Hang out at the bus station (until I get booted out) with an official-looking clipboard, asking strangers why they’re taking the bus and not driving or flying. (Be prepared for long rambling answers and / or marriage proposals.)
5. Hang out at a park all day doing nothing but going up and down the tallest slide, being careful not to bowl too many toddlers over.
7. Cook a 7-course meal to surprise my family.
8. Hike in unmarked woods with nothing in my backpack but 5 waters, 4 beers, 3 donuts, 2 jumbo packs of beef jerky, 1 roll of “bathroom tissue,” hand sanitizer, 2 extra bras, my new iPhone and my Burt’s Bees lip balm with zinc.
9. Take the earliest possible flight to NYC to spend the day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the stained glass rooms. Also, hang out in the Ancient Egypt rooms looking mysterious in my silver lame unitard and another kind of hat, like this…

And be home in time to tuck Kelly in at 9:00.
10. Stay in bed reading nothing but blogs all day, getting up only to powder my nose, snag more Almond Joys from the freezer, champagne from the fridge and accept the pizza delivery.
And you? What are some things you could do tomorrow, but probably won’t? 🙂

Cousin Alyssa, almost two years old. Kelly, 6 weeks old. In Canada.
Yep, 8 years ago Kelly was NOT digging the pumpkin suit. Actually, she wasn’t digging much at all at 6 weeks, except milk and sleep — almost every other moment she spent with her face like this. Poor baby.
Happy Halloween, all! Hope you don’t spend it crying!

Guess what happened to me Sunday?!? I met a blogging buddy! Yes, my first ever “In Real Life” blogging buddy meeting.
Whoo-Hoo!!!
And a darn fine specimen of a blogging buddy she is, Miss Paige of the Paradise Mountain To Hell’s Valley blog.
Isn’t she beautiful?
Hey, anyone who’s seen Paige knows she’s beautiful outside and in, but due to her spy status she must remain incognito on the interwebs.
And where did our families meet Sunday? At Texas’ own Enchanted Rock State Natural Area! Second biggest rock on the planet, some say. (Ayer’s being first, I guess.)
Enchanted Rock: 640 acres of solid granite to wander, 425 feet to the summit.
Was pretty windy up top, maybe 60 mph breezes. Blew another of Kelly’s baby teeth plumb out.
Well, my blogging friend, how ’bout YOU?? Have you met any blogging buddies IRL?? And if so, what was it like?
Where did you meet?
Are you closer friends for having met, as Paige and I are?
If you haven’t met any blogging buds, do you plan to?
And when in heck are you planning on meeting ME??? I’m eagerly waiting. And so is Enchanted Rock.
Or if in Austin, how ’bout Oyster Landing now that the weather’s finally cooler. The coffee’s on me!
