Go Cleveland!

I’ve decided to jump on the Cleveland bandwagon for this MLB postseason. I miss having a team to root for, since the Orioles haven’t had a decent season in about ten years. Lately, I’ve taken to rooting for whoever is playing the Yankees, since I enjoy hating the Yankees almost as much as I enjoy liking any other team. And since Cleveland knocked the Yankees out of the playoffs, I am now a Cleveland fan. Also, my dad has been a Cleveland fan for about 60 years, and he is coming to visit today, so maybe he will make some room for me on the bandwagon.

In other news, the United Way campaign is going well, and I am a public speaking rockstar. One of our member agency directors called the United Way today to tell them that my speech was the best United Way speech she had ever heard. Also, I have come up with 7 more interesting things to spell on my cube wall with my gold sparkly letters. And – for the first time in two years – I can once again do a pull-up. Honestly, is there no end to my talents? Too bad I can't seem to hold a permanent job.

I’m currently reading a terrific book by Diane Vadino, who was one of the original McSweeney’s writers. If you’ve never been on the McSweeney’s website, you need to go there immediately. It’s basically a bunch of brilliant and funny people writing brilliant and funny things. I would like to write for them but, despite my aforementioned list of amazing accomplishments, I am neither brilliant nor funny enough to write for McSweeney’s. Anyway, the book is called ‘Smart Girls Like Me.’ You should get it. It’s funny, even if you are not a girl.

Well, time for me to go now. Last night’s DVRd episode of ‘The Hills’ is calling my name. Plus I have a ‘Go Cleveland!’ party to plan.
