I had a party this evening at Jenna's house.
I have been looking forward to this night for a month.
Yesterday at 4:29 I realized that I had not reserved my normal grocery delivery time and in a blind panic went online and reserved the very next window available which was 3:30 - 7.
This is bad. Normally I am 11:30-3, and that error screwed up my time mgmt for the entire day.
On top of which my entire team left at 2 and no one freaking told me.
So I look at the web site and they have updated my window for grocery delivery to 3:48-5:48.
Now Murphy's law has clearly shown us that there is no way in blue hell my groceries will be here at 3:48 right? Correct. they arrived at 5:15.
To counteract this, I showered early and got my hot rollers heating up. I laid my out fit out and made sure that all the things that needed to go with me were packed up.
Then I set about to baking and putting away groceries at the same time. No easy feat as the cupcakes I was baking were baking faster than the 20 minutes prescribed and the next batch SLOWER. Make me nuts. I finally get them out and they are supposed to be red velvet cake but sadly they look like a darker pepto bismol color. The easter bunny has the wrong season.
So while they cool I put most of the groceries away - the perishables. Then I set about to making the frosting. this looked like St Patrick's day in the wrong season again.I KNEW I should have tested these first!
Lots of compliments but now I am so rushed and tired that I am not going to enjoy myself. NO. THat's not the attitude!!!! YOu have been wanting this for over a month!
So I smiled to myself - set my hair in rollers and set about making the icing. I finished up in wondeful time, I was tired, but pressed on.
I got to Jenna's and spent a wonderful few moments with Judy he daughter. She was ready for bed, but "Santa" ( Chris ) was coming to the party. We were trying to keep her up for that. She was wearing her snowflake hat and Pj's and looked like such a cute Munchkin. She showed me her newly pierced ears ( she's 3 and a half) and then I made the mistake of picking her up. She went to sleep in my arms. So cute though.
Pam took her from me and put her in her bed. Then we started putting some of the food out. People were starting to arrive. It was a great party and a good night overall.
I drove home and dwhen I walked in I realized my first mistake. I didn't put away all the food.
I left two bags of Marshmallows out and one was on the floor, opened and a stray marshmallow under the dining room table. CATS!!! and I know who the mastermind on this one was too!
