Put on your purple chucks and donate!

It's The end of September and we ave finally made it to the big charity event for chronic illnesses. I'm nervous but ready for it to be over! I planned everything on my own and being sick and planning a huge event well it's overwhelming but worth it! Everything was donated! I mean everything..the food,the venue,the music,the silent auction pieces, and the flowers! The food came from none other than Carrabbas, the desserts came from yours truly..myself ;) music from Becky and her band and also dj Crumbz,flowers from Fluer de List in Germantown, and tons of paintings,jewelry,services,and more from so many of my friends businesses. I enjoyed helping them as they helped me! Me and Chris looked spiffy I had on my wedding dress which isn't fancy smanshy like most wedding dresses ( we eloped its knee length) along with my new short hair and purple chuck Taylors I was set..Chris in his blazer and purple shirt along with our purple and green ribbons I made everyone to wear we were set. All my closest of close friends showed up some that I expected didn't. Yes like an emotional baby I cried. I guess my feelings were hurt. I understand ppl are busy but when you RSVP and talk it up and then don't show it hurts. It's one night $10 amazing food and company for a great cause! But I had the most amazing ppl there to support me and we realized that's all that mattered. I needed up making more than my goal amount of $1000 and we doubled it! So overall it was successful for my first ever event that I did all on my own! I know now that i take the money before hand instead of at the door. Oh and I mentioned new short hair earlier...I forgot to mention I cut it off for two reasons...1.for children's illness month in october & 2. My hair is thinning badly and it's quite depressing being in the shower and pulling hair out and crying naked,alone,with handful of hair...yeah depressing! Haha so i chopped it off..well my hairstylist which is just my sister who so happens to only know how to manage my hair! It's like a halle berry short do I like it,everyone likes it,and it's super easy! So far it's been an ok fall..
