Don't know what to do

[ladyrobyns]

I honestly can not decide if I'm going to Artfest. Unlike others, I think the class selection looks good and I would be happy with a number of them. I love all the wonderful inspiration that comes from going, love the hanging out with all my friends, even enjoy the dorm rooms.... can't say the same for the shower, though. LOL Still, all that

i was laying in bed this morning thinking about that myself - it's an easy grand for that weekend - any way you slice it - it's a grand - and i will want to go to artfiberfest too and that's another grand - and while yes, there is that money available - wouldn't i really rather have new kitchen counters? i bet i could get nice ones for 2 thousand bucks

but then the thought of NOT going makes me sad - the only year i didn't go i was very sad about it -

i'm glad i'm not the only one having 2nd thoughts - i guess we'd better make up our brains soon.

ps
i'm glad SN is doing so well and there's not a pending surgery

Just had a really long talk to DH about ArtFest. He doesn't want to tell me I can't go.... which is a good thing, because then that is EXACTLY what I will go out and do. But, he would love it if I skipped this year. We have a couple of trips coming up next year that we should be saving for and it would be nice to have the extra $$'s. I hate being an adult and feeling like I have to consult others about how I spend money, I liked when I was in college and I spent what I had and to hell with tomorrow.

I know how you feel...I feel the exact same way. It's so much money...and I'd have to pay air fare too...which adds a huge expense. And then the single parent thing...and organizing it all...etc. It's a lot. I keep thinking we should just do a small gathering...and not necessarily art related...maybe meet at a spa? a B&B? Maybe something in between all of us...in Oregon somewhere? Maybe...oh...I know what could be fun...what's that place that does the Shakespeare festivals? Ashford? Ashton? Ash-something...? I don't know...just a thought...it could be fun...and cheaper! I think I'd be OK with the single parent thing if I wasn't ALSO spending a small fortune...which...I may anyway? But I still think I could do a trip to Ash-whatever cheaper...hmmm...

Ashland!! That's what it is. I've only been there once, but it was amazing. What a great idea. I'll have to mull that one over. =)

Just finished up huge talk with DH about Artfest. He kept pointing out all the other things I could attend with that kind of money. There are always little day or weekend classes that I could take instead and probably get more of them.....
But, I just HATE the idea of not going..........***sigh**
