The Planning

I sit here typing this post as I watch the NBA Draft....one word...ZION! Pelicans are about to become relevant again. Mavs don't have a first round pick so I'm not sure why I care too much. I guess because I was raised in Phoenix? Phoenix is a basketball city! Or at least it was when I left. The Suns were awesome in my youth. Not so awesome in recent years though. Tonight the Suns pick at #6!

I have been busy planning Brad's birthday party. I was all over the place with quite a few ideas for his party. I finally made my final decision and I'm happy with it. Brad LOVES games...so dinner at a restaurant and then dessert with some game night festivities at our place. Hope everyone shows up ready to play games and enjoys that type of an atmosphere. I'm sure it will be fun!

So here's the kicker I was working with an event coordinator at a restaurant. She was awful at her job. Okay, slightly above awful. Anyway, I gave up on her. I'm not a big believer in chasing people in this area. I think if they want my business they should be doing their best to earn my business. Well this event coordinator did the extreme bare minimum. As a result, like I said, I gave up on her and made other plans at a different restaurant. The restaurant I ended up choosing actually fits with my theme better anyway. So this afternoon I finalized my invitations and sent them out via email and text messaging.  About 3o minutes after I sent the invites out I received an email from the somewhat awful event coordinator at the restaurant I grew tired of waiting on. I quickly wasted no time to email her back telling her I already reserved something else. After emailing her, within a few minutes I received an automatic message saying she's out of the office until next Tuesday. Oh my! Yeah, no regret not choosing that restaurant!

I hate to say this and I don't mean to brag in any way but I think I missed my calling...I would have been an excellent event coordinator. I would know how to "sell" the restaurant/event space. I'm creative so no party would ever be the exact same. Plus I'm extremely organized. And most important...I know how to coordinate things with people and do follow-up.

 Anyway, I'm ending this to go make dinner and do some ordering of decorations for Brad's party!
