Pardon the absence.
I have to speak at the event I am putting on Tuesday. I have no problem with public speaking but I am not usually comfortable with the spotlight on me. At the events I am in charge of, I make everyone else get up and speak while I run around like a hamster spinning the wheels to make sure everything gets done.
This time around, I realized that we didn't have anyone to speak about their own mental health experiences or what the organization meant to them ... or anyone to ask people for money.
Somehow I have managed to sandwich that into five minutes. (And no, I am not going to use the word "Fuck" in my speech. I save that kind of talk for the office.)
Now I worry about falling on the way up to the podium, spilling coffee...etc.
Cross your fingers for me. I'll be much more relaxed (hopefully) after Tuesday.
Also, thanks so very much to everyone who has sent me well wishes and donations for this cause. If you missed that post and still want to contribute a buck or two, visit here.
PS I stole this awesome LOLcat from my long-lost sister twin at Rainbows and Unicorns.
Check out her blog, she is fantastic!
PPS This is post #700. Wow. I had no idea I had that much to say.

On a completely unrelated note, we need to get together soon. I have something for you in my pocket...and no, it will not make Mr. RK jealous. For any reason.
Fingers firmley crossed! Am sure you'll ace it, sweetie!
Hmmm - there'll be sensible shoes that day, yes? You will be awesome, as usual. xo
700 posts! Congrats. I am on 47, and I thought that was something to be proud of.
Oh I hope you do not slip with the "F" word in your speech!
It appears your blog posts peaked in 2009 and you're slowing down. You better get busy if you're going to match my number of posts by your 7th year! Or, forget the competition and keep doing your own thing. You do it so F-ing well.
I could do with a t-shirt that says "FUCK YOU - I AM MAN".
Fingers crossed!!!
Just so that you know, any blog recommendation from you automatcially gets followed and subscribed to sans an initial read through.
As for the lovely word FUCK, one should alwaus remember Van Halen's F.U.C.K. album that garnered a lot of negative press and caused more than a few kids to get suspended from school for wearing their t-shirt with the acronym F.U.C.K.
Which to refresh your memory stood for:
For
Unlawful
Carnal
Knowledge
As for public speaking, knock 'em dead cowgirl.
Ha! Cute cat, first of all...and I'm sure you'll do fine. As you mentioned you do have much to say and it's all good or funny and always witty and informative. I'm rooting for you, RK!
Don't picture them naked. You'll laugh. Instead, picture them dancing.
Sistahhhh! thankyou, your kindness will be repayed in the form of rainbow sprinkled merangues.. with which i will eat and then tell you how good they tasted.
fuck yes!
Best of luck! Not that you need it; you'll kick ass. ESPECIALLY if you say fuck and give a speech entirely made of LOLcats :-))))
COngrats on the 700th post and best of luck with the speaking! Remember to respect the microphone's personal space.
Thanks everybody ;)
After the initial five minutes I'm sure you'll be fine :D
You'll do amazing I'm sure! Have fun!
Congrats on the 700th.....and you are SO GOING to bust your ASS!
