Party Time!

It's been a hellacious couple of weeks - hell, the past few days have been beyond stressful but, in the interest of NOT getting Dooce'd - let's just say no amount of Calgon, Merlot OR shopping could have lifted my mood.

However, tomorrow is my housewarming and, after looking at my clock, today is the housewarming - oops. Where does the time go. I spent the evening in Costco and what a godsend that place is. You name it, they have it. I even fell in love with a patio set in there that is PERFECT for my new place. Did I buy it - not yet and it will not be here in time for the soiree today, however I'm planning on mid-May on making that purchase. I saw chairs that were like the one I found for $300 EACH. The set had 2 chairs, two ottomans and a small resin wicker coffee table for about $289.00. Now tell me that isn't a bargain. However, I did purchase a ton of food, some premade gourmet appetizers, good deals on cheese for the cheese plate (Sarah - no luck on the manchego), and the liquor store coughed up some wine, beer and Cuervo Margarita Mix. Plus we've got a ton of alcohol previously. Pretty much, the bar is stocked. My complex is going to think I have issues. I just love to entertain (I think - I reserve the right to change my opinion so, please, don't quote me).

In lugging all the booze upstairs to the new abode, I ran into my neighbor who had a good giggle when I told her "sorry - you caught me stocking the bar". In a gesture of being neighborly, (and also, making sure to NOT get the party shut down), I invited her over for a cocktail tomorrow so we'll see. She seems really nice. And, it's always good to know someone in the building in case of emergency.

Friday is a non-work day so, the morning is set aside for cleaning and prep - I have appointments in the early afternoon and, then on the way home, I'm picking up a few last minute things and come 7:00, the guests shall arrive.

I'll make sure to take pics of the spread And, many thanks to y'all for your suggestions and all your help! I really appreciate it and I'll let you know how it goes - I just can't believe I'm going to work with puff pastry *EEKS!*

If y'all don't hear from me on Saturday - either I ran off with the cute cop downstairs or send bail money...
