big weekend

[cassidyrose]

Too tired to coherently write about the weekend, but here is an outline:

• Baked like a fiend Friday and Saturday night. Learned nine dozen vegan cookies may have been overkill for the bake sale, but hopefully someone is enjoying them at the shelter/soup kitchen now
• Breakfast with BBC crew Saturday morning followed by them taping our rehearsal. We are going to part of a news piece about size-acceptance and the producer has been given eight minutes which is HUGE for a news show. The producer is quite excited the show will be on directly following "East Enders." Our butts and tail feathers will probably be in the opening segment of the piece.
• Party after rehearsal which was nice but a challenge with an under-napped S.
• Much scrambling last night to get a few things together for the sale today.
• Realized at 1am my keys were missing. Mild panic and hard to sleep after that. Was reunited with said keys this afternoon, thanks to the hero of the revolution, tenacious_snail. Panic has subsided
• Up early this morning to haul clothes to the sale after a trip to Kinko's. Was impressed that our little Scion could fit as much in it as a mid-size SUV (and I still had full line-of-sight out of all windows).
• Got to sale (Cupcakes and Muffintops) a little after 10am and helped unpack and fold clothes as well as with signs and other details. Worked the check-out station for four hours with a couple breaks to do a bit of shopping.
• Got some good new shirts that will work as maternity tops for the rest of the summer and an awesome pair of leopard-print peep-toe heels. So excited about those.
• Helped clean up the venue post-sale in some serious heat. Crapped out by 5:30 and drove home.
• Completely crapped out on making dinner tonight and ordered a pizza.

OK, bed now. But can I just say how wonderful it was to spend the whole day with a roomful of incredibly rad fatties? Seriously, it was great. They are my people in a very deep way. I realized I have known some of those folks for eight years now. I love them.

Oh, and I am the proud possessor of a Cupcakes and Muffintops commemorative volunteers-only button which says "If you got it, frost it" with a picture of a cupcake. Lovin' it!
