So many speeches, so little time in that lovely class. My next is informative. I'm thinking of doing something possibly morbid like embalming the dead. Just picturing my visual aid makes me smile. Of course, it isn't a how-to speech, so I'm not sure if I'll do that subject. Any ideas, please comment. I'd looove to hear it.

We're moving tomorrow! So exciting. All of our friends keep saying "make sure everything is boxed up." I think they've all had the same bad experience. David Sedaris wrote (I can't remember if it's in Naked or Me Talk Pretty One Day and I can't check cuz I'm at work) about how he worked helping people move out of their New York apartments for a little while, and how one time his group got to a girl's house and she had nothing boxed. She was one of those girls who was used to having guys bend over backwards for her, so she didn't even get off her phone, she just motioned for them to start packing things. After they finished moving her, she gave them nothing but a toothy smile for a tip. So that's what we're planning on doing to our friends. I'm just trying to decide who has the better smile between Brandon and I.
