An Announcement Regarding an Announcement
You guys know those posts where people make an announcement, but then never tell you what the announcement is? An announcement revealing the most game changing news of their life... but you can't see it or taste it or touch it or feel it yet, you just have to wait.
So you get so damn wrapped up in trying to figure out what the heck the announcement is that you go full stalker mode. You run, don't walk, to their Instagram and scroll through for hidden messages you may have missed reflected in mirrored sunglasses or buried in the background of a selfie. When that search falls short, in the rare event you happen to be their Facebook friend, you dash over to their personal Facebook page hoping to find VIP insider information, but nothing is there either. Then you feel a little embarrassed that you even care that much about someone you've never actually met in real life, but check their twitter just to be 100% sure you crossed your t's and dotted your i's trying to solve the mystery.
Well this is one of those posts. I have an announcement that I'm not going to tell you.
I'm not going to tell you because I'm just not ready yet. For the first time, just this weekend, I understood the allure of the vague, secretive announcements. When something wonderful happens but you're just not quite ready to spill the beans, how can you possibly contain your excitement?
And yes, I'm totally that girl that buys a present months in advance and calls the person to tell them, "I got you THE. BEST. PRESENT. EVER.... but I'm not going to tell you what it is and I'll probably remind you every day how excited I am to give you the present several months from now."
I'm trying to think of something that has happened to me that is more exciting than this news, and I'm drawing a blank. I'm sorry I'm not ready to tell just yet, I hope that is ok. Also, I'm sorry I've taken up valuable time on your Monday to tell you absolutely nothing, essentially. So here are some pictures that I feel will have made it worth while for you to have clicked on my blog today.
The announcement is not of the human variety. So go ahead and stop looking for a baby bump in my Instagram feed, that's just Pizza Hut you're seeing.
Plus, that's just rude and hurts my feelings :(
I'm just over here like yeah but I know MUHAHAHAHA (evil laugh) also i just announced and announcement and I WILL tell you that i got you sweet gift too. bc I'm that guy. sorry not sorry.
ReplyDeleteYou are a tease. BAI.
ReplyDeleteWell this is at least the most entertaining announcement about an announcement post I've ever read. That said, I am super curious now! ;)
ReplyDeleteI totally identify with that poor pug in the first pic.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you're mean. But whatever your news is, I'm glad you're excited about it!
My guess is that you're engaged or moving in with CB. Can't wait to hear what it is! Congratulations (if that applies to the announcement!) ;)
ReplyDeleteIf it's not human, does that mean CB is not involved!? If that's the case...I vote that you're moving, far far away from Dallas! :-p
ReplyDeleteI fully see the need for a judge to oversee the even distribution of beanie babies. I mean, that's how I'm paying for my retirement...
ReplyDeleteI am that girl except then I usually give you the present early because I am so excited and I cannot wait for you to see it and squeel in joy that I thought of that spectacular gift... so you and Helene are going to drive me bonkers.... so you two are moving in together bahahahahaha or your blog is having a baby, or veenie is about to be a parent, I know you just got an awesome sports reporting job... am I close
ReplyDeleteI'm thoroughly confused.
ReplyDeleteengaged, moving in together, moving away or pregnant. Got to be one of them ;)
ReplyDeleteIt has to be an engagement!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear. :)
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading I'm all, 'please say engagement, please say engagement' Buuuuut, you said it's "not of the human variety" so that leads me to think it's about Vee, Gee, or a new addition who has yet to be named. I hate surprises.
ReplyDeleteYep. You succeeded in making me ridiculously curious. I'm thinking engagement? Hmm...also, those pictures definitely made this worthwhile, so thanks for that! ;)
ReplyDeleteAaaahh the Beanie Babies... and yeah, you are spot on about running to the IG feed haha. Cannot wait to see what the announcement is!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I am the person who totally does that "what can it be!?" creep and also have a habit of telling people exactly what i got them as a gift because I can't hold back. Oops. I'm excited to see hear it is!

So there is an announcement but you are not telling what it is ok..........................I get that, well kind off and let's leave it at that.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one that liked to buy gifts wayyyy in advance then remind the person about said gift every time I see them! Eventually I cant contain my excitement any longer and I just spill the beans myself
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE A TEASE. Haha so glad something happy is happening for you!
ReplyDeleteOk so I'm bummed that we can't hear the news cause I am TOTALLY that girl that you described HAHA Can't wait to know....now let me go stalk you hehe ;)
