Fundraiser thoughts
I don't make a lot of time for journaling or blogging of any kind lately. Today, I've had a kind of rough, emotional day. I'm thankful for newish friends who want to talk about things that have nothing to do with my life.
Tomorrow is the Alchemy Art Fundraiser. I'm here tonight, nearly 24 hours exactly prior to doors opening, and I keep pacing. I keep trying to figure out what I've forgotten to do, or whom I've forgotten to contact. It is all in order though, and I know that. I did a good job of keeping everything neat and orderly for this thing, and that has left me with an abundance of time at the last minute. That's really strange for me - I'm used to procrastinating everything. Usually the last 48 hours prior to an event or a trip are marked with craziness and rushing. Not this time though.
That should be seen as an achievement though, right? However, I find myself discontent. I am very excited about tomorrow, and I feel like I should be *doing* something. My plans for the night include eating obnoxious amounts of Thai food, digesting, a trip to Walmart, going to the park to run off the Thai food, pushing my kid in the park swing, then building a tiny model.
I feel really happy about the fundraiser. It is my first event that I've ever managed and I have loved it. I have learned a whole lot, and I definitely understand my own weaknesses better. I hope it is good, and that we get a decent number of people there. I'm nervous :)
