Tried to bake potatoes but didn't realize that the prior apartment tenants had NOT EVER cleaned the broiler. She met the local fire department AND all her new neighbors that night.Dana S.

I have not stepped up to this kind of office thing because I don't want it to be expected time and again that I will perform. Also, I realize how Type A I can be about having the house look spectacular - so that by the time people show up, I'm exhausted and have absolutely no fun at my own party. What's the fun in that? Are some people just better at this than others? I have friends that can pull of a house party with little or no wrinkles. I wonder if it was really so smooth before the first guest walked in the door. One of those neighbors - Christie (who you met) mentioned that for every gathering they have, someone in the family usually cries before hand from all the stress. Oh my...is it really worth it?<br />On a side note - I liked how you used your real address rather than writing something like, "my old house" or "the place I lived first". Putting the actual address was so much nicer. Hope you don't mind me borrowing that one. Great story, Kay!Kristin Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08176537444920783847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30234276.post-1292555542521969502009-11-06T06:01:51.108-08:002009-11-06T06:01:51.108-08:00Life's lessons - funny now.
