Preliminary
Posted on November 4th, 2009 at 2:35am
I went to bed early last night. Before midnight, even. I’ll half blame the time change (suddenly driving home in the pitch dark, with fog, really skews my sense of time), and I’ll half blame just running out of things to do. I got bored. But the second I climbed into bed, my head started moving a mile a minute about this upcoming New Years party.
I’m going to really start pushing and hounding everyone I know about this party real soon. Trying to get as many commitments as possible. My little heart cannot stand a repeat of this Halloween party business. I briefly talked to Todd today, he’s not sure if he’s going to be here for New Years, but I’d love it of he and Beth could make it. And bring all of their friends, of course. I sent a message to Li-Ling, as I know she’ll be in town for the holidays. Not yet sure if she’ll be here for New Years either. I wonder if I can sweet talk Charrmaine and Jared to come too. And what about… Emily?
I suggested to my parents that my Christmas present this year should be to take whatever money they would normally spend on presents for me, and turn that into my budget for the party. Convincing my dad how much of a good idea that is for a present for me might be difficult, but I know my mom already knows. When I go big for these parties, I really go big. I easily spent a few hundred dollars on my Tiki party and Pirate party. Each. Having a budget would be a god send.
My brain was working all day today, too. I went on the treadmill for the first time in a couple weeks, and it went by quicker than usual because the entire time I was thinking about decorations, things to build, how to set up, etc, etc, etc.
The hard part comes in a week or so when I have to shut up. At some point, usually right around when I actually start building things, I’ve gotta remind myself to shut up about what I’m working on. Don’t wanna build it up — any more than I already am, of course.
I’m also in the early stages of comping out a re-design of this ol’ website. I don’t know where I got the urge to do it this time. It sure did sneak up on me suddenly.
Between the website, and planning for this party, I’ve got three art projects going on right now!
The third is a secret. For now.
Goodnight Moon.
Maybe, Someday.
