You know how from a distance things look smaller? Things like...proms...perhaps? Last fall, it seemed sooo simple. Set up the ballroom-check, set up the DJ-check (took a lot of research, but still-check), find someone to create the playlist (thank you Brandon! :D ), spend 2 months creating the prom booklet (still had 2 misspellings...grr), and follow up with all the registrations/payments.
In the rear view mirror that all seems simple now. We have now reached the week of the EVENT! (cue orchestra) It's crunch time. My family has banned the word "prom" from the house. Pieces of furniture are disappearing under the volumes of merchandise. Stuff is spilling onto the floor and is in danger of becoming lost. Or maybe it's running away from home, I'm not sure.
Perhaps, sometime down the road, this will look like preparation for a wedding reception or something other big event. Note to self: In the future, do NOT be seduced by the coolness of a place card that has "some assembly required". No matter how gorgeous it is, don't do it! Just write the names on tented index cards...everyone will understand!
