Who Do I Turn This Damn Thing Over To...

One of my friends at work told me that I'm the "Go-To Gal" when it comes to getting things done. Well - someone please tell me who the hell do I turn this god-awful tiara over to then cuz I don't want the title.

One of my biggest problems is the word "NO". I have a hard time telling friends and family "No", regardless of the situation. I can do it at work (most of the time, stressing "If you need me to do A, B & C need to be bumped down to D & E status" or lately, "What's the timeframe") but when it comes to those closest to me, often I hear myself say "Sure" or "Mmmmm.. Okay" and then I run around crazed and frenzied trying to accomplish 200% in a 100% box, ya know what I mean - this gal is O-V-E-R-E-X-T-E-N-D-E-D. Some examples of what transpired in the past week:

A friend of mine has me working on a project of his which is cool, and he did give me 2 months timeframe, but it takes 2 months to write a proposal like the one he needs - so I'll add that to my list;
JZ is almost done with his solo album and now he needs a media plan, pr photos, album cover shoot, and god knows what else; and
D. tells me Saturday night at his soiree that I'm now celeb wrangling for not one but TWO magazines and, oh yeah, the other investor is a major bigshot so I really need to mind my p's & q's. Not to mention, he tells me that the mag is having another event where I get to play Door Wench in the next couple of months; and

There is no amount of Calgon that is helpful right now. That coupled with my 9-5 - fun fun fun!! Now, on the downside is that I won't see a $$$ from these unless THEY make a profit… how the hell does THAT work… And now my mom wants me to help with my brother's wedding planning (like I'm an expert - puleaze..) AND I've got a couple cases going to trial.. The trial cases - one falls ON My birthday so no fall vacation for this blonde *sigh*

Someone tell me where the Captain Morgan is, stat!
