Planning a Dinner Party Is...

Exciting. Stressful.  Hard.  Because we will be with my family over the Thanksgiving weekend to celebrate my brother's 30th I thought it would be nice to do a pre-dinner with Chris' family on Sunday.  I am very excited but I don't think people realize how long I have wanted to throw a real, grownup dinner party.  The table, the food, the outfit.  Lets just say I haven't been able to sleep and have been to Crate & Barrel too many times this week.  Today I finished decorating my table (my dining area looks freaky like we are getting ready to eat because I am trying to decide how I want it) and did all of my grocery shopping.  Then I did a run thru of my dessert.  I think it was bad to have my Starbucks right after work.  My poor husband.  Tomorrow is play time though because I am going to Twilight and a wine party! yippee!

I will keep you posted on the dinner party planning.  Tomorrow I am making one of my appetizers, after movie before party, a pistachio cheese log which sounds really funny but I think will be delicious.  Plus you can made it a day ahead. I'm crazy.  I can't wait for Mexico. :)
