Party Plans!

Ok, so I've been planning my 18th birthday party since the 20th. It's been hillarious! I keep trying to get ahead of myself and it just dosen't work. So. I'm always telling myself to slow down and take it easy. After all, I do have a week, plenty of time, if I plan it all just right.

Since Sunday I have been undauntingly trying to reach that long list, 33 to be exact, of people. Some have responded with quick enthusiasum, others not so quite, and still others not at all. No matter, I have not given up on the idea of getting as many of them, as I can, to come. It's kind of funny because most people thought that I had had a party on my birthday, while the fact was I was really shopping. Yep, shopping.

I spent my birthday shopping for cool and crazy things for my party. Gramps had taken Grams and I to dinner the night before, as well as to see "Mama Mia!", so shopping was no problem. Not to mention I wanted to! I was so excited to get started with plans that it didn't bother me to start then, on my birthday.

Anyway, I love to shop, especially window shop. Yeah, it's a little funny to some, but I love window shopping. In this case, I was actually going to spend money. Haha. We went up to the mall and, well, did a little damage. Lol. Not too much mind you. We spent most of our time in Dollar Tree looking for decorations. Well, that turned into decorations and prizes and party favors. It was fun too see what we all came up with for prizes. I was going for practical as well as something for everyone. Ya know, something like notebooks or car air fresheners, stuff like that. The other two, well, they had some really good ideas and some not so good ideas. Lol.
After a few more stops, we made it home. Home with a pile of bags up to our elbows. In fact I'm still somewhere, in that pile, trying to make some sense of it. Lol. It's all cool, though.

Since Saturday I have been making list after list of things to do, who's coming or not coming, what I have and what I need etc. Grams says I make too many lists, but the thing is if I don't I'll go insane. I'm very organized when it comes to certain things like school, my locker, and even plans for the day. Anyway, I still have a lot to do by Friday, but it's coming together piece by piece. In the mean time I try to keep calm, focus, and most of all don't get ahead of myself. I find that you can't go from point "A" to point "D" without first going to points "B" and "C".
