doing what i do best

This weekend I'm doing what I do best. Traveling. And more specifically, something I've become quite good at lately: driving long distances to see people I love.

I'll be heading out Saturday morning before the sun for Columbia, Missouri, to see my best friend Holly who is studying for her PhD at Mizzou. She is super smart and witty (obviously, she's my friend) and I've talked about her many times here before, but I mention these specific traits now because she has recently re-entered the blogosphere and you should drop whatever you're doing right now -- yes, even the very reading of this post -- to check out her blog.

Before I head out for a few days of kickin' it Real CoMo Style Ya Heard with my best friend, I wanted to give you an update on Operation: Prom Date. We currently have six nominees for the (probably less than coveted) prize of accompanying me to Prom 2.0, and since I'd like to have more like 10 I'm allowing a little more time than I'd originally planned to accept those nominations. You can leave them in the comments here, send them to me on Facebook or Twitter, or of course, e-mail me.

Whether or not I reach that magic number, I'll be posting the nominees next week for your voting pleasure. I've decided to stick to the usual style of the blog and code name each nominee, including a brief description for you to use to inform your decision. Check back and get ready to choose my fate!

In the meantime, enjoy your (hopefully) Labor-Free Weekend.


cheers,
