Speechifyin'

I spent most of my Indepedence Day writing and rewriting my maid of honor speech I'll be making at my sister's wedding in a couple weeks. And by writing, I mean writing, rewriting, deleting it on purpose, writing more, deleting it accidentally, writing, writing again, stopping to make a sandwich, deleting it again (the speech, not the sandwich), and generally driving myself up a wall while trying to get it just right.

What's the big deal? I've written literally days worth of stand up material, written entire plays and movies and even started a novel, yet the task of writing a 2 minute speech is sending me into conniptions. And yes, that is how you spell conniption. I had to look it up.

I just want it to be special and fun, but not necessarily funny ha-ha. I guess this is just all a little more difficult than I thought it would be. Who know it would be so tough to write material with no references to politics, underwear or global warming!!
