I know that it wasn't a total disaster. It was just the making them wait for the food that bothered me, and I was flustered when they walked through the door rather than pulled together and in control.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm sure they were charmed that you cared so much, sj, rather than being all perfect and blase (just imagine that accent mark there) about it.
There should always be some time before dinner to chat and relax
Finger food can always fill in if the wait is more than you feel comfortable with. I try to keep olives, cheese and crackers on hand for that reason.
Pix, I just e-mailed you about your request.
happy birthday, erika!
What life is like at our house in the small hours: We were watching School House Rocks vids on YouTube, then Daniel mocked Harvey by voicing the cat's supposed thoughts in the manner of a pepperpot woman; This was followed by a discussion of the medicinal properties of sugar free ice cream, and then plotting to sing "Conjunction Junction" at karaoke.
X-posty.
Ok who else is awake?
I am, Sox, but I wish I were not.
I hope the Melatonin kicks in soon.
ditto javachick.
I'm trying to figure out how I can get through the next couple of days without losing it. I am feeling like a terrible houseguest. I had to ask my friends mother to turn the tv down a little because they had it up at 39 and it's right over iris' bed and I couldn't get her to sleep because she kept hearing monsters. And I've been dodging letting the mom use my laptop again to check her email a second time because she has an iPhone and when she used the laptop earlier she was on it for ever and took a whole bunch of anti Obama quizzes that left popups and junk everywhere. She is furious with me. I've cooked and/ or helped cook several meals, spent almost 500$ for groceries (11 ppl here and they woukdnt let me chip for the room) and brought a hostess gift that she swooned over. I've kept iris quiet as a mouse in the am. My friend is being very sweet and saying not to worry about it but I keep going over other things I can do to either smooth the situation or just make it out alive. I figure I can do another meal if I can think of something to cook tonight.
I'm making it all drama I know. It has been really good to see my friend as we only get toghether every 4 years or so. And the place is gorgeous. And iris is having a blast.
