t-shirts happen




I spent my evening with this little fishy. And 307 others just like him!




Sometimes I wonder how I find myself in these situations. I sure didn't raise my hand and volunteer. Someone else volunteered me. Volunteered me to design, order, sort and box 308 t-shirts for our swim league. Why would someone volunteer me for this? Let me just say that I think it's an example of one's organizational skills working against them.


They arrived today. I came home to find 4 large boxes in my living room. And how fortunate for my entire family to be unavailable this evening for sorting, organizing and re-boxing them! Lawman's going to have to load them for me tomorrow night because I don't think I can lug those boxes down to the garage and into the truck.


I made short work of it though. Sometimes it is easier and quicker to do things by yourself.


I'll get to see lots of happy little faces on Friday when I hand these out at our league swim meet. After 10 years, one more season is almost behind me.

they look great, good choice.

it's hard enough when you volunteer yourself and then later go, ohhh i wish i hadn't done that.

another reason why i never miss a meeting whether it be community or work, the one who is never there always gets volunteered, lol.

That's a lot of t-shirts! Have you tried enlisting the help of your hubby? I volunteer with 4-H and Master Gardener's.

Kristin ~ I tried to get Hubby's help but after a 25 mile bike ride he found a comfy spot on the couch.

Kim ~ No problem girl. I told Lawman NOT to call you. It was the guilt factor working on him because he was on the couch. Yes, they had t-shirts last year but that was a first in about 4-5 years.
