Slap a clipboard in my hand and call me Muffy.
True life: I'm on the homecoming committee.
Every May, the Spalding University writing program says welcome home! to its alumni with a weekend of activites that runs concurrently with the academic residency. After attending last year, I saw room for improvement, but the fantastic Spalding staff are so overworked as it is, so I cheerfully volunteered to chair the homecoming activities for Aught Six.
Because I need another project?!
Reader, this is my confession: I like to have a clipboard in my hand and a schedule at these kinds of events. I enjoy making sure everyone's taken care of, that they feel included, have enough to eat, a full drink, and plenty of amusement. I am a hostess. I am a Muffy.
So Dott pointed out to me that I am basically the art school equivalent of a Junior League dork.
Sigh.
I accept my designation with all appropriate shame.
Would you like to sign up for a committee? Paint some signs with me? Make some dinner reservations? Reader, would you please help me strike the perfect balance between informal and comfortingly structured? Will you follow me to the opening reception?

Be true to your school
Just like you would to your girl, now
Be true to your school, now
Let your colors fly...

When you mentioned holding the clipboard, I thought of Muffy Tepperman from the old Square Pegs tv show. Yeah, you're probably too young to remember, but google it.

Sarah Jessica Parker was on Square Pegs! I've seen the re-runs.

My mom is the same way when organizing the annual family reunion cornhole tournament. She is a clip-board nazi.

You said cornhole!

I am simultaneously very curious and thoroughly horrified by the concept of "the annual family reunion cornhole tournament."
Dude.
