You want to know something ridiculous? I stressed all weekend about whether or not I should buy coffee for the "Bribe the Teachers to Come to the Book Fair Teacher Preview" breakfast thing this morning. I went back and forth, back and forth.

 

"The teachers will expect it."

 

"I don't know anything about coffee!"

 

"But if there's coffee, they'll come!"

 

"But I would have to buy it made because I sure as heck don't know how to make coffee. Where do you buy it made? Starbucks? That would be too expensive."

 

"The teachers love Starbucks. That's why they all have Starbucks cups every morning."

 

"But I'm Mormon! I can't go into Starbucks and be like 'I need coffee for about 15 people.' There will be someone in there who knows me! This IS Ridgecrest after all. I can't go ANYWHERE without seeing someone I know who would be like 'OMG, Rachael is buying coffee! She's a sinner!"

 

"But the teachers want coffee!"

 

"Not Mrs D. Besides, they all know I went to BYUI. Pretty sure they know that means I'm Mormon, especially since they also know that the D kids go there."

 

"But the others will want it!"

 

Finally I decided not to buy coffee. And I don't think it made a difference. A couple teachers showed up. They had their own coffee.

 

My book fair started today. We've already sold $100 dollars worth of stuff, and we were only open for 1/2 an hour before school. I'd say we're going to do pretty well.
