So much to do and so little sleep to do it with....

We are in the middle of October and the next few months are going to be active....

Tonight, Mr. S, Mrs Astor and I are meeting the Ladies from the Across the Border .... Vickie and Penny. They are going to the theater and we will meet them for some afternoon beverages and Shenanigans at Twist. Vickie is bringing me a chicken knick-knack from the Keys and I will try to find the initial pendants she liked.

Our friends, Larry and David, purchased a house on Alton Road ... it needs work, so Mr. S. will be busy. I am happy for them.

Wednesday is Bill's birthday ... Big Diehl will be 60. One of the gifts he has from me is that I will be his designated driver and take him wherever he wants for as late as he wants. (Mr. S gave me the thumbs up.) He just wants to be with friends so I think on the actual day we'll do some stuff together and then meet the regulars plus at Twist.

Saturday 10/17 is the Miami Recognition Dinner and we have our last meeting on Monday. The rest of the week will be scrambling to sell more tickets and ask for and pick up silent auction items. What I had failed to notice is that the Komen Race for the Cure is the same day as the event .... I guess I'll "Sleep in for the Cure" this year (yes, that is an option!)

The day after the event will be a brunch for the committee members and their spouses/partners/lovers/significant other...

Then I will really be in hectic mode for the youth Happening #25. It is at a camp near Homestead this time around and I have to pick up a Cargo Van to get supplies and run around town to get things we couldn't order in advance online. The kids have worked hard and I have been able to get some of my old kids (now in their 20's and 30's) to help out ..... I need to "pass the torch" for some things.

Halloween, preparing for Thanksgiving ... and in the slush, planning for Winter Party 2010. (Mrs Astor has agreed to help .... this is a fabulous thing!)

Oh ... and did I mention ... the kid and my sister have the flu in the middle of all of this? And mom has a luncheon and a birthday party to go to?

Oh well.....be safe and have a blessed week!
