Argh. So, the bridesmaid dress is being shipped to me this week. Coincidentally (because God is vengeful), it's also Girl Scout Cookie Week and I have fallen in with a no-good gang of chocolate covered ruffians determined to drag me to my large-assed ruin.
Damn you Thin Mints! Damn you to hell, you delicious, minty devils!
Ahem. I hate being on a diet, even the half-assed one I'm on.
Oddly enough, I have lost weight, about 25 pounds I reckon (that number dwindles with every Samoa I eat, but I digress), and since my clothes are a little looser, I feel a bit sexier. I've been very sassy the past week or so. It's kind of fun, all this sassiness. I like it.
In other news, I feel geeky. Is it impossible to feel both sexy and geeky at the same time?
I'm writing a business plan for grad school that involves a social enterprise initiative for a 501(c)(3) corporation. I think that by incorporating as an LLC under the development corporation, the organization can avoid the whole "not-for-profits should not profit" problem. It's a stupid law anyway. How else can a 501(c)(3) sustain itself in today's uncertain economic environment? If a public not-for-profit organization can't depend on the local, state and federal government to provide them with a steady stream of reliable revenue, who else can they depend on?
Wasn't that oddly sexy? I bet you want to make out with me now. Anywhoodles, once the business plan is complete, I'm going to submit it to a contest run by the Yale School of Management and the Pew Charitable Trusts that is specifically for social enterprise initiatives developed by 501(c)(3) corporations. If we win, we get a hella lot of money. And I would get to make everyone kiss my ring. A win, win situation, I think.
Today was one of those days when I felt like I am truly an adult and in charge. I schmoozed over at the village office, dropped off the canned good donations from last week's library amnesty week
to the local food pantry and schmoozed a little there, booked entertainment for the Summer Reading Program and set the schedule, sent out thank you notes to committee members, set up catering for a meeting tomorrow, discussed budget issues with the library treasurer, paid bills, cataloged books and was otherwise so God-dammned efficient that even I wondered if I had been replaced by a pod person.
Last week, I taught myself to crochet and I am now about half way through a slightly tragic baby blanket for Mistress Chicken who is in the family way.
It's hormones, I swear.
