October 12, 2009

This is my fantasy of what will be going on on the date of October 12, 2009, as written in an email to Amy.

A Monday. Columbus Day, actually, is that a holiday at work? It doesn't matter. At all. Because this is what Amy and Jen will be doing:Amy: Will be on her autumn tour promoting her well received album, "Guacamole on the Side" on the west coast. Her album was released April 7, 2009 and she has played her hit single, which was released in March, "Four Days From Homeless" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and on Ellen. Her summer tour sold out in many locations. She has received lots of free Mexican Food since the release of her second single "Mexican Restaurants" in July. She purchased her first home in May. She is on the phone with Jen alot because she is getting married in December and she has lots of questions. Amy quit her job with a flourish which included a juggling act and fire-eater on November 19th, 2008 after signing her record contract.

Jen: Will be writing her follow up book, "Office Supply Art Returns: Some Awesome Stuff Made by Other People". Her first book about Office Supply Art was released in May of 2009 and was followed with a book tour and some other stuff. She bought a house in the mountains and now works when she feels like it, usually sometime after she wakes up in the morning and before she goes to sleep at night. Her multiple title book deal was signed in December of 2008, days before she ran through the office, naked, shouting how she was never going to wear heels again. Once she was released from jail she spent the rest of the winter in Mexico with her sweetheart and her cats. She is going to visit Amy in Oregon next week and sleep on her tour bus and make her quesadillas. She is also going to remind Amy that she will be turning 30 on November 23rd, 2009, so Amy will get her a good gift.

This is it, people! This is my gift and purpose. I want to write! And be funny! And help people find that passion about doing the things they love and seeing humor in life!
