Lovely Eveningly

This evening I had the privilege of attending a fundraiser for a local non-profit.

Upon arriving, we were very pleased to learn the drinks were free. Assuming, of course, that you only wanted white or red wine or apple juice. Mixed drinks, beer and diet coke had their price.

The event began and it was clear they should have just had everyone pay their cover, have a few complimentary beverages, eat their meal, raid the dessert bar, pester the server for coffee (and cream), and donate some money, all the while listening to a funky local jazz band. Presenters are not necessary, people get too caught up in their conversation. And, we all know, once we start chewing our food, we hear nothing.

Somehow, in between chews, Add-ly and I heard one of the speakers discuss the importance of nouns. I don’t remember his exact words, but they were something like, “if it weren’t for nouns (chew, chew, chew, chew) ….spellcheck.” I quickly informed Add-ly that I do not attend such events to learn. I mean, everyone knows verbs and adjectives throw me for a loop. And nouns, don’t even get me started.

It was then that Add-ly informed me nouns were easy for her, because one of her teachers once told her nouns always end with -ly. Wow! You learn something new every day!

As usual, it was really nice hanging out with Add-ly and I quite liked the fundraiserly, winely, dinnerly and, most importantly (I had NO idea “important” was a noun), dessertly.

I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Cheers
