Proud of Myself

I am pretty darned proud of myself! Tonight I am having 5 women over to have dinner. My friend, Tricia, is cooking Thai and Indian food. Mostly different curries. This has been a food adventure for the Ockanders lately, and I am excited to try to some new things. However, that is not why I am proud....I am hosting dinner in 3 hours and I did not spend the day cleaning, scrubbing, stewing, fretting, folding, freaking...the usual! After kindergarten round-up Lydia and I ventured to the library to check out books and visit with Gina. Then we checked out the little new antique shop (Boo hoo my vase was sold in the relocation process!), and then after doing our business at school we hung around to visit with a few people. We stopped off at the flower shop and had the special treat of picking our stems out of the cooler in the back, and sealed the deal with a nap on the couch! I shoved the laundry that is clean in the closet. I kind of washed the kitchen floor, and I will probably vaccuum. I am hoping that Tricia doesn't want to shower tomorrow so I don't have to clean it, and if my guests are lucky I might change clothes before they get here! Bring on the wine so nobody notices the cobwebs, just the gerbera daisies in the middle of the table instead!
