Having worked the night shift, I got home about 8 this morning.

It's been non-stop ever since!

I'm running on nervous energy and bailys at this point.

I'm nervous. Real nervous.

And real excited. I've never done this before. I'm rather shy.

But some really great folks are coming to visit.

I hope they wont be let down at what they find here. I worry about that.

Even at my age. Can I be a proper hostess? Dunno. Guess I'll find out.

Whats worse is knowing my failures will be posted all over the place.

Will I be able to post here again?

Self doubt isnt nice, y'know?

I really hope I dont go pear shaped with this.

Because there are some really nice people coming to visit.



ps. It's my last day off before friday. So this is my last chance to get it all together.

Thats what I keep trying to tell myself! Sometimes it works......

Sometimes being a virgo really sucks y'know?:o

Snooze is a Virgo? Go on, never!

LOL! I dont think so! I'm just whinging about my blessedness!:wah:

It's a curse y'know. Always trying to attain perfection, then noticing a small flaw!

^ ahahaha the voice of encouragement.

Hey Robin none of us are going to critique you my dear, we are all just to excited to be gathering. We are going to run praise all over the place about you and how you have pulled this all together. Hunny if there is a blip here and there I don't think a one of us is going to give a rip.

I know you're right. I'm just trying to make it so right.

hunny we are going to feel like royalty with all your efforts my gosh slow down, and relax, any thing left undone can't be that important.

Seems to me that what they are really interested in seeing -is you. So, I'd recommend some extra sleep, extra time in the bubblebath, a good book and positive thoughts... that should put you prime condition..:-4



Although if there are any dust bunnies around, it would be great if they could take a pic or two for chonsi's collection..


*note to self, Floppy suggests dust bunny pics for chonsi, I will get right on that one*

See Raven the voice of reason, relax my dear, no house inspectors to be allowed, if I catch anyone looking in the corners I will smack them hehehehe

LOL! I'm a virgo! I cant help it!:o

(i'm being anal arent I?)

Hehehe crikey Raven you need to calm down. Trust me the last thing that any of us will be doing is nosing around your house trying to spot stains and the like. Remember we all are coming to have a great time, and that especially includes you. So try not to worry about anything, just seeing you and everybody else is going to be special!!! :-6

Honestly! If you had half the forum in the u.s. coming to YOUR house, would you be any different???:wah:

(No dust bunny pics cause I killed them all!)
