Life Imitating Art

So, I recently landed a huge contract with a major London event with international reach.
Yay me!

But you know that feeling you get in your stomach when reality starts to set in and suddenly it goes from yay me to 'Oh sh*t - this is major!' Well that's what happened. Then a few days after getting the official nod from the organisation's CEO I received an email which put the fear of God in me.

The email said that I had to make a speech at their 'soft launch' event next month...eek!
Exit my appetite and sleep because the next morning my eyes shot open at 4am and I started working on their overall campaign and sourcing products for the VIP goody bags. I'm doing my best not to think about the speech...yet.

Here's the life imitating art part. When I'm working and brainstorming and trying not to get stressed, I often think about Helen Hunt's character in 'What Woman Want' when she got the job at the ad agency and then stopped sleeping altogether...
Ahh it will be all worth it in the end and the upside to no appetite is that I'll lose some pounds (lbs) and look a little better on camera because we all know it adds 10. Grr!
