The list of things to do was playing in my head so loudly in the middle of the night, I had to get up to make some Sleepy Time Tea. I'm going out of town later this week, have work to do, kids to run around, and a ladies "coffee" to throw. Everything was groovy until last week when a friend said the coffee is actually a "big deal" in town and since I'm hosting, get ready. I've been prepping and tidying like a Whirling Dervish. I even cleaned the top of the frig! Who is going to look there? Yesterday, there was a baking disaster and there is still more to prepare. Poor Dan is even in on the action hanging and re-hanging pictures on the walls. Does anyone else get crazy like me when you are prepping to host?
(coffee cake disaster)Can we make a pact that if you come to my house, you'll forgive a little mess because the food will be great and we'll have a good time? Let's all unite. And if you are at the shin-dig, don't look in our closets!
P.S. Check out this video which made me laugh while I was trying to keep my swagger on!

I am down with the swagger wagon! And your story makes me miss the "society" in Atlanta while at the same time I feel grateful that I don't have those moments too much in the OC - because it does make you a little bonkers! You'll have a great time, you're a very talented hostess. Those ladies who lunch won't know what hit them.
