then it will be a miracle because you know I have THE WORST sense of direction of all time and I have to take a car to a plane to a plane to a taxi to a subway to a train.
I bet that you can guess by the post title where I am today [New York City!].
And why I was so MIA last week [work + tutoring during finals + prepping for NYC!].
No, there is not a parade that I’ve dreamt of attending for 29 years and no, I am not giving that Peruvian restaurant on the Upper West Side another chance to turn me inside out. [See NYC ’09 post here.]
I am going to meet with Seth Godin.
Seth Godin is considered America’s greatest marketer. He writes lots of books I find HUGELY helpful in my life and my professional career(s). He has a blog that is great. And he’s smart. Really smart.
And at 4pm EST today, I’ll be sitting in a room with him, discussing all things marketing, probably talking about the Mocha Club, and possibly going over the fact that HEY I KEEP GETTING MARKETING-LIKE JOBS BUT I DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT MARKETING (but I want to) SO TEACH ME PLEASE.
And by “don’t know everything.” I mean, “I’m a former elementary school teacher who was trained in many-a-thing, none having to do with social media marketing in 2010.”
Seth is hosting a seminar for 11 people in New York mid-May and I am one of the 22 finalists trying to get one of the 11 seats around his desk.
I’m pretty thrilled to just get 1 seat today, but it would be rad for me to have that same seat in a few weeks to learn. learn. learn.
I’m wearing my pink cardigan because pink goes well with my skin tone- pale. I’m bringing my laptop, mainly because it looks important, not because I plan on showing him any of my facebook albums. I’m staying on the same street as Magnolia Bakery and somehow, by the grace of God alone, I will not have a cupcake.
I am going to have a really good time- in the interview, on the train, with my friend Sara Beth, walking down the streets.
And maybe, just maybe, I’ll get to see New York again in a few weeks.
[And. Your prayers would be appreciated. For the travel. For the interview. For the etc. that comes to your mind. Gracias.]

It’s easier to laugh at these moments when I get to blame Tuesday. Wanna join me? #TuesdayYouAintCute is one of the funniest hashtags to follow because y’all’s lives are funny. If you can laugh at today, do it.

We’ve only got about 90 of these tumblers left- we’ve literally bought every single one from the company that makes them, and they don’t get another shipment until summer. So if you want to gift a #TuesdayYouAintCute tumbler for Mother’s Day or graduation or a summer birthday (or if you need one because your car is in the shop before 8am on a Tuesday JUST FOR EXAMPLE), today’s probably the right day to grab one. When these 90 are gone, they are gone for a while.
