My Acceptance Speech
Although Mondays are usually reserved for sharing all of the fun things that you did all weekend long, when your weekend consists of buying a printer, going to church, and spending quality time in your pj's there isn't much to tell. I could sum up the weekend with one word. Lazy. So instead of boring you with the fun fact that I bought a wireless printer and it may or may not have been put in every room and tried out because helllo...wireless printers rock my socks off, I'm going to bore you with other stuff. You can thank me later.
So, like two thirds of Twitter last night, I was watching the Golden Globes last night, which is pretty ironic because Michael and I are terrible at watching TV shows and I am too ADD to go sit in a movie theater and watch a 3 hour movie. ANYWAYS, since I will never in my life attend an event like that, I decided that if they get to wear beautiful dresses and thank "their team", then gosh darn it, I will too.
I'll start with my dress. This stunner is from the 2014 Resort collection by Marchesa. Yes, I know...it would be a long shot and cost me both my arms and one of my legs to buy it, plus I would need a tan, a professional make up artist, a new hair color, and would have to not eat for 12 months before slipping into it, but how stuffing is that little muffin? I'm sure people on Twitter would hate it, but this is my awards show so I will pretend that it was a smashing hit and that Joan and the gang picked it as "Best dressed".
Source Of course, in a dress like that, I would have to be sitting next to the likes of ohhh I don't know Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, and Meryl Streep. I mean, I say just kick Taylor Swift out, sit her in the back with the rest of the people no one obviously thought would win, and me, Meryl, and Julia would laugh the night away, giggling during acceptance speeches gone wrong...or in some cases silent.
To top of the night, I would obviously have my acceptance speech ready, even though I don't even like movies or watch that much tv, and while you are reading this, I am probably up in front of my classroom giving the biggest performance of my life, trying to get my students to understand my story of Mr. Three Feet who stood in a yard and got three itches on each foot, which made thirty six itches in a yard. (Kiss your brain if you understand that).
My acceptance speech would go something like this:
To my sweet family, thank you for letting me be the crazy, ridiculous person that I am. You always told me I could be whatever I put my mind to, so I followed your advice and wound up here. To my "team", also known as my favorite drug store concealer, bare minerals makeup, and my straightener. You did your job so well tonight. Thank you for getting me where I am tonight. Couldn't have done it without you. My friends...I am sorry you have to put up with me and my ridiculous that my family allowed me to become but you all make life more fun. And last but not least- my husband for putting up with my charades day in and day out, for taking pictures of me while I sleep, supporting my Dr. Pepper habit, and making me laugh.
The end. Hope you have a great start to the week. I have to admit that my mind is all over the place with everything that's going on at school this week but more importantly that I get to see my people this weekend so my brain just can't focus on much else. Happy Monday friends.
