(copy from journal - crazy, busy, week)
Note: (T minus THREE days until Love's Gallery Opening & SIXTEEN days until my 30th birthday!)
Busy, Busy, Busy!
Saturday was full of errand running and general Getting Things Done day.
Sunday we made a near last-minute decision to hit WDW for the afternoon with our friend Rand along as well. It was insanely smoky as we drove closer to Orlando on I-4 (no smoke at all back in the Tampa Bay Area when we left) so we assumed it was smoke from some wildfires/brushfires in the area. Nope, turns out it was fires in Georgia that were blowing through parts of Florida. Some roads in Jacksonville were closed due to the loss of visibility and all of Orlando was freaking out and flooding 911 with calls. The smoke and burning smell was that thick. Bear in mind that it's a good 4-5 hours just to get to the Georgia border when driving from Orlando, so that's a hell of a fire.
Today my mom came by for a few hours before her doctor's appointment. I ran to the post office and got the purple bridesmaid order shipped out as well as another earring order that came in last night. I need to make the Adina order next and get that out in the next day or so. Of course, the next few days are pretty crazy....
Tuesday we are going to run over to the library after Love gets home from work to actually do the installation for the gallery. I'm stressing this part more than anything since it involves a lot of unknowns, math and general won't know how it looks until it's done kinda moments. Everything needs to be spaced, lined up, and coordinated to look good. Oh yeah and Love needs to finish pieces he intends to be included that are not yet done.
Wednesday Rand is going to leave work a little early so he can take me down to Costco to pick up the food for the event. He has a membership and we priced out the items from there and since we're getting some perishable items, it's best to get it close to the date as possible. I don't want to get it Thursday day just because that's pushing it in the event something goes wrong.
Thursday is the opening itself!
Eghads it came up fast!! We've had so many people express interest in coming that I hope the majority do show up. It will crush him if 200 people said they'd be there and it's us, his parents and my mom only, you know? People often say they're coming to events but then don't make it and this means the world to him so I want it to be a massive success.
So just...whew. It's going to be crazy around here. If I am slow to reply to comments or emails, bear with me. There's a lot going on this week. I'm still around, just flustered. Hope everyone had a nice weekend and a good week to come!
