Having a party tomorrow...

[mitch04133]

I am sick, of cleaning, decorating, and baking!! I have been at it all day!! I worked midnights last night, got off at 730am, went to bed at 9am, woke up at noon, drove an hour and half away to cut down our Christmas tree, got home, decorated it, went grocery shopping for our party, came home cleaned the house, now its 130am, and I am still baking!! I am baking pumkin pies (which I have never done before), and i just got done baking 2 dozen cookies. My back is killing me!!


So we are having a party tomorrow, about 12 people are coming over, we are making steaks, and I am completely stressing out!! Why do I always think its such a great idea, then I am always rushing around to get stuff done. My pies will be done at 230am, so I have to stay up...


Uhhhhhhsorry about the rant...I am just stressing!! And I am going to have to do it all over again on Christmas Eve!!


Anyone else having any Christmas parties??

Hi Mitch,

How was your party?

[mitch04133]

It was great, thanks for asking!! I was so stressed, and to top it all off, this morning my dog ran away, so we had to drive around looking for her, I was in tears, and I was scared I was going to have to cancel!! But it all came together in the end, and everyone had a great time. I just finished cleaning everything up and I am exhausted. And to think I have to do this all over again next Sunday...Thanks again for asking!!

Every time I host a party I end up not eating much, mostly because I've been messing around with food all day.

This year we are remodeling our kitchen and den, so I had a great
excuse to not have to bake or have parties! But next year we are
doing a large office party, so I'm sure I'll be posting here with a lot
of stress. I love the idea of parties, but the day of the event
is a lot of work and food prep.
