Today's the Day!

Congratulations, Carolyn, on the release of your 10th album, Love Was Here First!

My own thoughts on this album is posted over at Adorable Trivialities for anyone who is interested.

Flyer for Our Church's Upcoming Carolyn Arends Event!

Dig the new promo pic stolen from Twitter! Isn't it stunning? Whoever made this did a great job!

I can hardly wait for the Women's Fall Retreat -- I've never gone before, but how could I resist a chance to hear the wit and wisdom of Mrs. A? I even volunteered to be a "table hostess," which means, among other things, that I have to arrive 1/2 hour earlier than everyone else. Yikes! Oh, the lengths to which I will go to help pull off a successful Carolyn Arends event!

And, what do you think of the "Love Was Here First" countdown widget on the sidebar? I have gotten no props whatsoever (were y'all mad 'cuz I didn't like the graffiti cover art?), and it gave me quite a bit more tsuris to put up than you would think in this digital-for-dummies age.

15 more days (and counting!)! Whoo-hoo!
