Spring brings activities, timelines, and commitments. In other words, besides normal life, people come out to play. Save the dates are in my mailbox and inbox. Graduations, weddings, and the usual summer flings, I’m getting booked up.
I’m a diligent list maker and spiral calendar aficionado. Writing stuff down is my jam. When my children were younger, I color coded the calendar with everything they had planned. I posted the monthly pages in the kitchen, encouraging them to keep track of their lives. So proud to see both still use the calendar posted in the kitchen trope.
Being a prompt responder, people compliment my RSVPing skills. It may be why I’m added to some invitation lists too. For those who use snail mail, I’m the test case to see if someone received the paper copy.
Task management is also in my wheelhouse. For all the activities, I plan what I’m bringing food wise and or gift wise. My mother drilled into me that you never arrive at someone’s house empty handed. Flowers, candy, or a hostess requested item, usually food. I have a large family so filling out the menu is required.
I appreciate the invitations and the inclusion. Now what am I going to wear?
