The Beginning
On Saturday, ARC journeyed to New Braunfels for the first round robin of the year. It almost goes without saying that we enjoyed ourselves, hung out with lots of cool people, and had abnormal amounts of fun talking about the environment. I mean…what else would we do? (LD people, you don’t have to answer that question.)
Happy debaters—and a happy debate coach!
Former partners, turned LDers.
These guys…well, they had lots of fun. Maybe more fun than should be humanly possible.
Danielle and Christina, two loverly ladies.
It’s just kinda fun to scare people with the Maisano/Morgan name. (The initial fear doesn’t usually last long, but oh well.)
Afterward, we went out for dinner and checked out ballots. Fun stuff.
So, it was a good day. Full of friends and debates and candy and pizza and all sorts of awesome things. What could be better?
(For those of you wondering about NaNoWriMo…no, I’m not giving up just yet. Yes, the word count widget on the right is accurate. It’s so much more fun to make an epic comeback in the last week…right?)

Haha….so I like the post, Beth…but I was just wondering….did you mean for the caption to say “loverly” ladies….or did you mean to say lovely? lol

Hmm, not sure what I’m planning. But…I’m planning on getting to 50k by the end of the month.

Haha! Yeah, it was an intentional typo…because “loverly” is just so much fun to say.

“Loverly” could be copyright infringement on “My Fair Lady” musical.
Beth on 18 Nov 2009 at 12:00 pm #
Gasp! That’s not fair! I’ve never even seen My Fair Lady! But apparently they got to an awesome word before I did.

Yay it was so much fun! You have all the wonderful pictures from the tournament =)
If you feel behind on your NaNo novel, remember you caught up last year, and if you don’t make it, it’s because you didn’t let me read it
I’m not quite sure of the connection.. =D
Oh well good luck =D

Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! What could be better than pizza and debates? MORE pizza and debates!
You are right! It is a lot more fun to come back with an epic return in the last week of NaNoWriMo- I should know- I’ve 20,000 words to type in one week. This will be… interesting.

Whoops! I made a typo there. I have 40,000 words to write in one week, not 20,000. So this will be fun!

Hi Beth,
You aren’t giving up on NaNo are you? I’ve had to turn to Bluejane for all my competition. Come on, you can do this!! Counting today, you have ten days left, and you can make it if you write only 3,000 words a day. Not hard, right?
I’m sure you can do it (especially if you pull a couple late-nighters). I’ll be cheering you on!!!
Wow. You make debate/speech look so fun.
(You know what I think of that.)
