Hi there
Please oh Angel of Darkness, do not darken my doorstep (unless you are the whoosh fairy in disguise...
)
I was home yesterday...working on those INVITATIONS. I am happy to report that almost ALL have been mailed out....but I ran out of envelopes and stamps (Yes I screwed up some of the invites - proofreading is a good thing and I should have done more of it
so my numbers are all messed up!).
Those things took SO LONG TO DO...I had no idea. Did them on the computer - setting up the templates took a while due to "formatting issues"...and had to print carefully so they would not jam printer.
So what this means is I was so involved in this job I barely ate a thing all day (and you can only guess what happened at night!).
Had breakfast at McDonald's on way to stationary shop (eggs/sausage patty and coffee), started working on computer around 10:30 am....and went straight til 5 with no food and then had to pick up kiddies (grabbed some pepperoni sticks and diet soda on my way out and found a piece of sf chocolate leftover in the car).
Very hungry now (6 pm) decided to make french toast with lc bread (it was not as good as I imagined!)....then nibbled here and there (peanut butter, yogurt, slice of roast beef) then back to work on more invitations....finally went to bed after midnight! YIKES - what a job.
Still have a few more to finalize...and missing a few addresses still. Await return of RSVPs (nov 28th) and then comes the real fun part of table assignments (have to make sure everyone is on speaking terms with table mates!
)
Barely ready for hallowe'en, bought a big bag of candy and gum (chiclets and tootsie pops stuff) and will make little loot bags up (when? that's a good question!). Have to go out tonight to an awards ceremony for 17 ds who looks like he has to accept a leadership award (he's student council president, in his last yr of high school)....and I now realize I forgot to plug in video camera battery for recharging...oh well! (Need to desperately capture those "good" moments as they are few and far between...lol)
Tomorrow have to go funeral at 3 pm (sister in law's mom passed away - brain tumor - misdiagnosed as Altzheimer's, very sad) so we are scrambling here trying to rearrange my meetings so I can leave early.
Hoping for a QUIET, RELAXING evening (which reminds me I should try and find a sitter so maybe dh and I can go out to catch a movie?).
Lunchtime!
Froufy
P.S. sunny and cool today, but rain is expected TOMORROW EVENING - how crappy is that - I absolutely hate a wet halloween!
