32 Hours

Tomorrow is the big day, when many friends will come to my place and I will serve high tea. In between then and now, I have lots to do, lots of lists to plow through. Going to try to do one thing at a time, not panic, be in the now and all that.

RSVP

Every year I complain about people not getting back to me with RSVPs. This year 2/3 of the invited have RSVPed before the deadline. Has the financial crisis or the election of Obama turned us into nicer, kinder people? Instead of getting mad because I don’t know who will be here (for food prep), now I’m a little freaking out about how many people will be here. It always works out and it will again this year (right?). I still have Christmas shopping to do, things to be mailed and lots of cooking, baking, cleaning and decorating to do. Trying to remain calm and remember that this is all about love, family and friendships in the midst of the darkness this time of year brings.
