Random/Diary


How do I get myself into these things? I wonder sometimes. Anyway, here I am Head Lady In Waiting to Princess Svava. Thank God I'm naturally organized, since this will be a learn-as-you-go position. I've "retained" for other royalty, but suddenly everything I thought I knew has evacuated from my brain.

Mass. Grand Chapter of Eastern Star this weekend. What a snafu that is! I hear they double-booked the Lowell Auditorium and we have to take down all our decorations and booths in between Friday's business meeting and Saturday's. Yes, indeedy, this is a good reason to be glad I'm not on the Hall Committee - grapevine says they'll be doing setup at 4 a.m. on Saturday. (Presumably so they'll be done before the 7:00 a.m. photographer's call.)

Naturally, my Assistant Grand Warder (that's "usher" to anybody else) gown has not arrived from the manufacturer. Will it be here for Thursday? Fine with me if it isn't, then I can't be an usher.

Didn't plant my geraniums on Saturday, because the day was so hot and sticky. Didn't plant them yesterday because it was rainy. Better plant them soon!

Must come up with chore list for Justin for the three weekends I'll be away. He says he'll do one chore each weekend, I'm kind of hoping he manages more than 3 in 3 weeks. :)

Playing catch-up here at work, finally paying for the week+ of blah inertia during the peak of the fibroids' inflammation. The new drug seems to be working, hurray! Still, I SO don't want to be here.

something to consider from a cook: find out what events she's planning on going to, what things she likes to eat, what she hates & what she's allergic to (and preferrably, what entertaining she's planning on doing at the event) and let the event steward/head cook know asap - they'll appreciate the effort, it'll help things run a tad smoother, and they're MUCH more likely to handle last minute requests/changes with more grace, as they'll know you've been trying to keep everyone in the loop

(been in the position of having last minute requests dropped on me that weren't last minute for those making the requests WAY too many times)

Well, mostly, for me, it was a "know what they need and have it ready before they realize they need it." I also lived with mine, which is a whole different dynamic. (and not something I suggest, which I'm betting jducoeur would appreciate.)

Any help you need or want, I'm happy to provide what I can. Just let me know!
