sorry

i missed yesterday. anyone notice?

i was exhausted and frazzled and out-of-sorts yesterday.

i am still exhausted today, but at least it tickles me to know that in 137 days i will still be exhausted, but at least i will be exhausted with family and friends surrounding me.

how bout y'all? what's going on? send me some news that i can share. i love that stuff.

g'night,
me

a single thought...

i sit here in the midst of another "south of boston" snow/ice storm. and though it is absolutely breath-takingly beautiful outside my window, i cannot wait for Camp to start. 139 days, folks!

much love,
faith

Lest i forget.... another celebration...

Today is Groundhog's Day.

Puxatawnee Phil - the weather-predicting groundhog (made even more famous by the movie celebrating this holiday) - did see his shadow today. According to legend, this means 6 more weeks of winter.

HOWEVER... Massachusetts is trying to get it's own "official" groundhog to do the forecasting on Groundhog's day (really, they're trying to pass a bill and everything! it's been on the news all day!). And "Miss G." did not see her shadow this morning. This means Spring is right around the bend.

By the way, trendsetters that we are, if Miss G. gets approved to become our state groundhog here in Massachusetts, she will be the first female state groundhog in history! :) Go figure!

Looks like it's a Groundhog's "battle of the sexes" folks! Who will win?!

Only time will tell... :)

Countdown

142 DAYS

142 days! :)

Ah, February....

Hi folks!

This is February. The month when Hallmark rejoices, songs get dedicated on the radio, and - in general - love (in all it's forms) runs amuck. So what better time for me to tell you:

We all remember Jonathan and Mandy, yes? Two wonderful counselors who met through jabberwocky. I'm sure you will remember that last summer Jabberwocky threw them their bachelor and bachelorette parties (fun times!)

Well, last summer was their parties, and this summer is their wedding. That's right, folks. This summer, Jonathan and Mandy are having their actual, honest-to-God wedding at Jabberwocky. On June 27th, they will be exchanging vows in the field.

Now - as i said - this is their actual wedding. Not a "Jabberwocky-style do-over," as some of us have experienced in the past. Their family and friends will be coming to our camp - sharing this experience -to witness this beginning to their new life together.

As such, there are certain rules that Jojo insists be followed (remember how much energy Jojo has. you don't want it to be channeled in the wrong way, believe me!):

1. If you are going to be present at camp on June 27th, you must bring with you a dressy outfit that you would actually wear to any other wedding you might be invited to attend.

2. On June 27th, NO costume cabin outfits will be allowed.

3. There will be NO cross-dressing for this event. We all know how wonderful Manny looks in slinky lingerie, but ... he can't upstage the bride! :)

Please, please... respect their wedding. And save yourself from the wrath of Jojo!

Thanks, everyone.
