My mom used to say that: Too pooped to pop. Did she make that up or did everyone say it? Anyway, that's what I am today. There was much to do to organize a fundraising campaign to help Jenise, besides all the emotion and shock of having my dear friend badly injured. So too pooped to pop is what I am today.
I'm holding a benefit Restorative Yoga Class on Saturday, where all the donations will go to Jenise, so I am saving my energy up for that. So I'm going to take a bloggibreak through this weekend. I'll probably come visit you at some point, but I don't plan to post. Your sweet, supportive comments have been much appreciated throughout this week. Thanks so much. Have a lovely weekend, and stay safe!
P.S. If you think to tell your friends about the half-price e-Book promotion for The Christmas Village on Smashwords through this week, that would be appreciated.
XOXO
That was a common phrase in our family as well.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been "of the times." Do you think it came from popcorn that didn't pop? Or - I wonder the origin. Something to look into!
DeleteMy mom used to say that all the time, too. It's one of those expressions you take for granted, I guess. I just looked it up and it was the title of a Chuck Berry song in the 60s - maybe that's where it came from.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting!
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I hope she is able to recover soon. I have a cousin named Jenise. It's not a name you see too often.
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing well otherwise!
It's a very unusual name isn't it? I'm doing fine otherwise - it's just been an overwhelming week, but ultimately satisfying. We've already sold a lot of Jenise's handmade jewelry at the studio and it's only been there a few hours! Hope you are well too xoxo
DeleteI've never heard that expression before, but I am a Brit, so that probably explains it. I'm sure your friend will appreciate your effort and love.
ReplyDeleteThanks, my friend :-)
DeleteHope your class goes well, prayers for Jenise.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
Thank you Joanne. The class should have a beautiful energy I think. I'm looking forward to doing it. xo
DeleteHave a good weekend! I'm terribly tired too! Its my fault though.
ReplyDeleteMust. Sleep. More :)
Not a comment I heard here in Australia (from either my English mother or German father). Sending good wishes for the class. A lovely gesture on your part.
ReplyDeleteThanks my friend :)
DeleteNever heard that phrase but I'm gona start using it! Hope you and your friends feel better soon :)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the fundraiser! You're a good friend. I hope she heals quickly!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Jenise. Get some rest, okay? Thinking of you --
ReplyDelete(Oh, and I definitely heard that expression A LOT growing up in rural OK. Too pooped to pop -- got it!)
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's accident. I wish you success in your fundraising efforts.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to say that as well...I was raised in New England. Good luck in your fundraising efforts!
