getting ready to party

I had a lot to do tonight, so I wanted to hurry.  Yeah right!  Not with the traffic that I face each afternoon.  There is construction underway, and frankly, most drivers are idiots.  Anyway, the picture on the left is what I see every night.  A parking lot in a 70 mph zone. SIGH

I picked Brett up at his dad's.  He's home to stay!  Yeah!  Then I made a couple of quick stops and got home.  Kevin had the hard part of the mowing done, with only the rider mowing to do.  I grabbed the weedeater and did that part.  Then Brett helped me assemble our new volleyball net.  That'll come in handy.

The reason it'll come in handy is that we're having a party tomorrow evening.  Our first gathering in our new house.  The outside looks awesome, tomorrow morning we start on the inside.  The food has been purchased and it's all coming together.  At 6 tomorrow, folks will start arriving, and the "yes" folks (who RSVP'd) will number over 30.  I've got work friends, non-work friends, Kevin's work friends, and a few relatives thrown in for good measure.

I hope everyone has a good time.  I don't worry so much about the obvious.  I know the house will look OK, I know there's enough food.  I know that the mechanics will come together just fine, but I want people HAPPY!  My next entry will be about my party.  Wish me luck!
