So very, very tired.
Why, you ask? Maybe because I went out with some fellow Junior Leaguers on Wednesday night, then again Thursday night? We had a meeting/orientation at Mary Lee's House (a safe house for victims of child abuse) on Wednesday, then a few of us ventured over to Ceviche for sangria. Which was fun, of course, but then I didn't sleep well and didn't feel great on Thursday.
But despite that, Phil and I joined 7 other people for Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens on Thursday night. We had a blast! First of all, you must understand that they sell beer by the yard at Busch Gardens. Second, you must know that I am normally very nervous about going through haunted houses. And we ventured through seven of them. Now imagine all of, going through these haunted houses, and making multiple beer stops through the night... All I'll say is that I became very bold as the night went on. In fact, by the end of the night, I was chasing the chainsaw people!!! How's that for a funny mental picture?
This morning I woke up early to go volunteer at Mary Lee's House. Our group assembled about 2,000 newborn packets for the Healthy Start Coalition for Hillsborough County. We rocked it, and finished in only an hour and a half (they were expecting it would take us 3 hours). Afterward, I did some very essential shopping at International Plaza. :)
Unfortunately, I tried on several dresses for my holiday soiree, and I still haven't found "the one." I currently have a lovely ruffled black one shoulder dress on hold at Neimann Marcus, but it is rather outrageously priced for something I'd wear twice, tops. Back to the drawing board, I guess.... Blah.
Anyway, let's hope I can keep myself awake for 45 minutes more so we can make it to Saturday night church service (since we'll be at the Bucs-Packers game tomorrow. Go Bucs! Please post a "W" for me? Thanks in advance!
