i put out the call on wednesday. she answered. and came dashing across the street. she stayed for 2 hours... and put in countless eyelets and strung ribbon through them. she came again thursday. and friday, toting along her youngest who sat quietly at the table and colored and watched cartoons. she'll be here again monday. and tuesday. and wednesday. someone else came today. and cut paper and lined envelopes for hours. my saviors. it'll all end thursday night at 9pm when the guests leave the trunk show.

now if i could just talk steve into a foot massage (i've been standing at the paper cutter for 10 hours now) while i watch desperate housewives, my only break of the day (ok, fine, i did sit to write this while eating my dinner).
