We’re getting ready for a Double Graduation around here, so my successes are going to be party-related.
-1-
I figured out how to make a Facebook event to invite the family and friends who use that platform. That saved me a LOT in color-printing and postage costs. (Translation: more in the party budget for delicious food!)
-2-
I made a party logo with the help of Microsoft Publisher! I think it’s pretty spiffy!
Big Brother is graduating from LaSalle and starting a job in his field at Monetate.
Middle Sister is graduating from Holy Cross High School and entering LaSalle in the fall.
(Little Brother is not graduating at this time.)

High-tech party planning continues with the help of an Excel spreadsheet. I still hate Excel, but it really is the best way to go to keep track of all the EVERYTHING that goes into having a big backyard bash with over 100 invited guests. I’ve got the setup figured out, and data entry will take place today.
And one week from tomorrow, Big Brother will move out of his college apartment for the final time. It’s hard to wrap my head around that idea–and hard to express how very proud I am of his accomplishments. (Next week my Small Success had better include “make space in the garage or basement for Big Brother’s kitchen equipment.”)
