and the pressure sets in..

So game night at my house is tonight, apparently it's the hottest ticket in town... There are 25 people invited, there is a waitlist, and everyone's been talking about it the last few times we've gotten together.

No pressure!!! Originally my thinking was that it would be a low key, night of game playing, I shoulda known better with this group. I think they are willing to play a game or two, but partying seems to be on everyone's mind. So I've upped my game a little, added some chairs to the front porch and back patio, set up a fire ring in the back yard with a few camp chairs, made Jello shots (lol, haven't made those in many years), and filled the bar with bottles and mixers (even made a list of mixed drink recipes for people to make themselves, including some non-alcoholic mixed drinks).

JRuss, you were right, I've already got 2 ladies that have asked if they can stay the night, and two more that have kind of hinted at it. I've got a queen bed and two airbeds already set up in the spare rooms, and I've got a sofa bed and two more airbeds on standby.

one of my friends asked me about a week ago if I was nervous to have so many people over, and I said no, I love to entertain and am looking forward to it. I text her back last night and said I want to change my answer to nervous as he!!.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks trying to get the house ready, install fire alarms, buy and use lawn equipment, hang pictures, buy furniture, towel racks/shower curtains and all the other odds and ends you need to do when moving in. Scheduling a party two weeks after moving in might not have been the smartest thing I've ever done.

But as I sit here now, everything is done except for a quick cleaning of the bathrooms and then preparation of the food I'm making. If it wasn't for this party, I know that I wouldn't have done as much to the house as I have, so after clean-up tomorrow, everything will be done and i'll be able to just relax.
