Along with crazy periods and night sweats, sometimes I just can't seem to get to sleep. When I hit a certain point I just figure that it is best to stay awake and call my kid. It is perfect, I am laying in my bed waiting to sleep and she is just starting her day. I call at other times to let her wonderful husband, Greg, know that I love him too. Sometimes I wonder if it isn't my subconscious mind just setting me up for the phone call as opposed to my hormones running amok!
Friday night is my first party in a while. It is the "older" crowd, no nurses and no Q's. My friend Pat is even staying over so she can really enjoy some of the wines. I will plan my menu while I am walking through Trader Joe's in the morning. That is why I would never make a good caterer...it's that last minute creativity. Good for my parties but a customer probably doesn't want many surprises!! I hope they have some nice bouquets.

About Me
- sammie96
- I am entering the midlife term with my elderly mother in tow. I left my eastern hometown for a reason but all my brothers and my sister died before me so now I have mom. I put myself through nurse's training first as an LVN and then as an RN. I did this while being a single parent of a lovely, educated and kind daughter. I learned that there would be no one ther to kill spiders for me and that I had best learn to do it for myself. I can do plumbing but I hate it. I enjoy light electrical, painting, acid staining concrete and many other home improvement projects. I am also a really good cook. My friend Pat gave me the best compliment, she said "sometimes you must get disappointed when you go to a restaurant".

Sounds like you are quite excited to be entertaining. Do you ever get crazy anxious? Maybe I'm just neurotic, I always get highstrung
Not really cause these are my friends. i know they accept me for all my good stuff and for all my foolishness. I absolutely love to throw parties. It is almost attention seeking for me. I thrive on folks coming in who have never seen my place and going.."your place is awesome!" I love to watch my friends hang around that table and be blown away by some new recipe. Parties tend to give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
I was very nervous when I first started. I worried that no one would come more than anything. Now I have to control the guest list so that we don't have too many. if you just go with your heart then it should all come out just fine...and don't get too fancy!
