We've been slacking a bit and work has been crazy for me for the last two weeks. Almost like being back at JDK!
Today our goal was to get all of the seating arrangements done- we aren't picking actual setas, but just tables. Easy and not easy. We have a few "science experiements" and we're hoping that things go well on that end. It's good for people to mingle!! Right?
So i tried just making lists of people but it quickly became extremely messy once I started moving people around. I came up with the brilliant idea of using stickies. If you have ever worked with me.. you might notice that I have a certain fondness for Post-It® notes. I love them. I write notes on them. nubmers. I've even been known to do site maps and do layouts on them. They are quite handy and I like because there is a lack of "permanence" to them.. meaning I can move them around here and there without scratching out or erasing or wiping off. I love them, in short.
Anyhoo. So we go to Walgreens to pick up sticky notes- we leave 20 minutes later with sticky notes and a bunch of extra crap and head home. This was after a late morning trip to the dog park and judging from the behavior displayed this afternoon.. we didn't wear out Sirius nearly enough. I digress. We get the list out and i put each name on a sticky note. 186 sticky notes later- i started putting them up in groups of 8. It was great- I should put together a kit and sell it on theknot.com. seriously.
This is what it looked like:
I made sure to purchase the EXTRA sticky sticky notes which came in handy as we moved people from table to table. I'm hoping people will be stoked to sit with who we've put together.
So now we're just waiting to run though everything with our folks to make sure we got their friends/family right and then I can formally check it off the list and get started on the name tags that go on the favors.
One little gross picture to add in.. so I woke up friday morning to an itchy puffy ring finger. I went in to the bathrooom to get some water because my fingers were so puffy that I couldn't gt my ring off. I finally slide it off and there is a nice ring of red crusty itchyness in the place of the band. I thought I would attach a photo of it... might be a good time to upgrade to Platinum!
With that I sign off for the evening.. Have to go down and rouse Vin off the couch to get some dinner. Have a happy!
