That is so great that you can tons of people over Diana and not get stressed. My max for dinner parties is 6, LOL. I'm just too much of a perfectionist and have to have everything just so. I get myself so worked up over it but I really do enjoy entertaining.

But gosh, I don't think there's enough wine in the world to numb me enough for the amount of guests you entertained.

I didn't worry too much about getting things back to order yesterday. I did a little straightening, but mostly took it easy. I'm in no hurry to get everything done.

Good for you girl, no rush to get things straightend out. It will get done, if not today, then tomorrow or whenever

Definitely! I had the BIGGEST crush on a guy from the Netherlands once. His name was Billy and we had piano class together. Such a talented person, but he had WAY too many girlfriends...I'm glad I didn't get involved.

*Well, I am off to pick up Brendon. Then I am picking up the little girl I mentor so that we can hang out for a while. Talk to you later!*

Sheryl, I've learned not to worry about the dust and dirt. I try to keep things straightened up. I found out a couple of days in advance that I was having everyone over. I didn't worry about dust and dirt because once a few people come in who's going to notice it? I swiped my bathroom and cleaned the toilet. Then I put away a lot of things that I had on the kitchen counter to make room for food. (Which I didn't have to worry about because everyone brought food and we cooked hotdogs.)

As far as room for everyone, I have a full size basement (I have a 2,300 sq ft home not including the basement) but we were crowded. I was praying that it would be fairly nice outside where some of the kids would go outside and play and, thank God, it was.

When everyone got here I just relaxed and enjoyed my self. After everyone leaves it all cleans up and everything goes back to normal.
