My Saturday Night with the Family... aka How Aimee Joined a Coven
Ok I didn't really join a coven, though I know my mother would've been thrilled. I ended up getting somehow convinced(aka bribed with promises of a lot of free dinners with gravy) into helping Barb and some friends of hers (who I actually really liked, shockingly enough) run the Lioness of Illinois committee. Yeah, I'm a dork. My real job for them will be all design crap though, making new Illinois 2005 Lioness pins, designing a new Lioness Manual (like the boy scouts, but with old ladies) and of course, new certificates. Its my lot in life to be a certificate designer, I'm cursed!!
Its because I was a French Prostitute in my past life. I know it!
Damn my mother for being right. We all knew it'd happen enventually, but I sorta hoped it'd take a while. Oh well.
So yes, I'll be joining this lovely 'Coven' as I told them I will now refer to them. Hopefully, I'll get many free dinners, and quite possibly (eventually) get paid in cash and not banquet food. And if this sucks, I'll just bring the gameboy.
I'm trying to think good thoughts about this whole thing... my dad's thrilled. He's all excited because one of the women in the coven is a designer as well, who loves my work and is pretty much thinking of going into her own business. So if all went well, it could be a lovely oppurtunity for me. I'm not so sure I want this oppurtunity, but she seems kinda cool... dorkier than I am (she fences, how odd is that? I asked her if my lack of depth perception might impair my fencing skills and she just giggled... I wonder if that meant yes) Oh well, I'm making dad happy... and gravy... must concentrate on the gravy perk...
