Party Prep

With encouragement from many of our guild members and help from Nian, I’ve been busy preparing for a party.  With the recent promotion of two of our own, an Admiral’s Banquet seemed like a great idea.  However, I hadn’t realized what a large undertaking this would be. 

I wrote up and sent out invites….I’ve been busy preparing dishes…. we had to secure a venue and decorate and come up with contingency plans…. Nian has been a wonderful help, volunteering her time and expertise.  But with only days till the event, I’m feeling a bit stressed.

Most of the work is finished. I’m almost certain there will be enough food and drinks and with Nian in charge of entertainment, I know that everyone will have a good time.  So why am I so stressed? 

Well, at some point I’m probably going to have to make some kind of speech or introduction.  And I’m scared to death I’m going to make a fool of myself.  So much so, I still haven’t sat down to write out what I’m going to say.  I don’t even want to think about it.  Instead I put my energy into thinking about how to get out of it….

If you have any suggestions, or would like to volunteer for the job, let me know
