Guess What I'm Doing this Morning?
I'll wait.
Mmm, this coffee is delicious.
Have a guess?
No, I am not dancing in the next Pink video. Lobbying Congress? Puleeezze. Enjoying a nice, quiet Saturday morning with The Family? I wish. Give up? I am going to The Child's school where I am going to sit for 2 hours selling used uniforms on behalf of the Parents Association.
All week I have been faithfully laundering and sorting bags of used and abandoned uniforms. I have organized polos and blouses, skirts and trousers and pounds and pounds and pounds of Mayfair Blue cardigans and pullovers (what you Brits call 'jumpers') into two categories: "like new" and "need mending". Then, last night, I solicited the help of The Neighbor and J-from-Reno, who's visiting, to figure out my price structure.
I have made signs and price lists, collected shopping bags and a calculator and made The Child extremely happy by telling her she could come with me. The sale itself is only going to last for 2 hours and anything that's left will be sold at the first Parent Association meeting. We'll go an hour early to set up. It's really no big deal. Except I don't know if anyone is going to come. The whole project was sort of thrust on me right at the end of the school year and only one other Board member is able to help (what with it being fracking Seafair weekend and all that, and no, obviously, I wasn't paying attention to that when we set the schedule). One flyer went out but it was in the Big Envelope, the one that came last week with the school schedule and supply list and tuition envelope. Who knows how many people actually saw it?
So The Child, AT and I could just be cooling our heels in the Parish Center for a couple hours, swapping stories of the summer so far. Which I guess wouldn't be a complete waste of time.
So, in the immortal words of Annie Hall, "Oh well. La di dah. La di dah". The next few hours will pass and there will still be goodly amounts of time to just hang before we dress up and hasten out to a 40th birthday celebration for Special Ed. It's a casino theme, we're to wear black and white attire and I'm sure it is going to be a raving good time.
Have a very nice Saturday. Please.

It's our anniversary this weekend Lorraine! (When we had our first date with your family!)
Thinking of you...
xoxo
I think I win the My Life Sucks More award. I get to spend the whole day stripping the paint off our porch.
Ah, well. At least I'll get some pleasure from the fumes.
Pam, How well I remember. That was a fun day. Remember how I was all nervous that you were going to be a perfectly coiffed Bellevue housewife. LMAO. Happy anniversary!
Pat, Yeah, you win. And it didn't suck that much anyway. And I got a hotdog.
