I interview myself.
Q: Jenell, it's great to have you back. Why haven't you blogged all week?
A: I didn't get a weekend last weekend - just worked straight for 12 days, and I'm feeling sort of irritable and anti-social.
Q: Are you saying that we, your blog readers, are a source of irritability for you?
A: No, it's just that blogging itself felt like one more thing to do, so I left it alone for awhile.
Q: Did you have a good time in Pennsylvania? I think you're fabulous - did the people there like your ideas?
A: Yes - it was wonderful. People signifiantly critiqued some of my ideas, which gave me helpful ideas for revising my paper.
Q: What did you eat there?
A: A very good shrimp stir-fry at a restaurant, and several meals at the college cafeteria which involved 90% carbs, 5% wilted vegetables, and 5% ambiguous protein.
Q: Word on the street is that after the conference, you came back to MN and went to a covenant participant meeting at church. Any good gossip?
A: I was happy to see my friends again, and glad to hear some good news in their lives. Rachel was happy about a visit with her brother and his family, KP has a book deal, Anna gave a eulogy for her grandpa that went over well, Carla is feeling better, and Katherine says she might start reading blogs. I felt good about being friends with people who do small positive things and celebrate them together.
Q: Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. I know you're very busy.
A: I am, indeed, very busy, but I always make time to sit down with others and talk about myself.
