Today I got a very important email
Welcome to the ING New York City Marathon 2008! Thanks so much for volunteering! We've got a spectacular week and race day planned, and we are incredibly grateful to you for helping to make it all possible for our 38,000 runners. On behalf of New York Road Runners, I wish you a fantastic marathon experience.
Below are details of your assignment(s).
Job: Chip Clipper
Location: West 77th Street at Central Park West
Supervisor: Marc Kramer
Date: 11/2/2008
Time: 11:30 AM
So, there you have it. I've been looking forward to this email for 2 weeks. Every day. Every single day. I got chip clipper just like I wanted. I think I'm for sure going to clip Ryan Reynold's chip. It is pretty much a fact. I'll tell him you said hi. Did you know that to thank me for volunteering, they are giving me a dunkin donuts gift card? That's not really volunteering. I wouldnt mind my regular job paying me in donuts.
Also, dont you love that it calls it an "assignment"? I feel very important. Maybe I'm saving the world and I dont even know it. Do you have an assignment?

Okay..first of all I have to let you know that I stalk your blog but never comment.
Now that that's out of the way, I was curious what exactly a chip clipper does, so I googled it. I had to let you know that YOUR BLOG came up as the number five hit! :O)
So congrats!

reagan you crack me up. Thank you for informing me of that. The funny thing is...I was actually thinking about that earlier...I should have just called it our fall party because we didn't dress up. So it cracks me up that you said that.

I think your work as chip clipper is going to be remembered for generations to come, and it's going to be so awesome when you clip ryan reynolds' chip, and he says "i've been looking for someone to star opposite me in a new film, and you're perfect!" and then you go on to win an oscar for your gritty and compelling performance in his latest rom com. I can't wait.

Your blog is always so much fun to read!!! And, your Piper is darling. I think she's saying, "I'm this many," in the picture below. :)
