"I call this Grego's Love Loft"

I thought I was all on top of things, haha. And yet, it is Wednesday night and I am not ready for Friday's party. Of course.

I always do this. I start planning way in advanced (heck, I've been planning my July party since February!), but in this case it was only 2 weeks, and I do nothing but plan and plan forEVER. I get guest lists together, I get menus coordiated, I get decorations bought, I get the guest list revamped. I go over every freaking last detail.

...until a few days before.

I shut down. I get partied out. I don't even want to think about the details, and yet I stress about them all at the same time.

I know decorations don't matter, I know it's OK if my cake doesn't turn out perfectly, I know it's fine if people don't RSVP because I know I will over-plan anyway. AND YET...I stress out about it all.
Ellie has promised to slap me randomly throughout the night, which I hope will help.

I become less stressed about the details once the party gets underway and more about what will happen because everyone knows I'm not good with people being annoying. I've mentioned it before HERE (which I strongly suggest everyone attending to read!!!) but I think it needs to be stated again: Don't touch my stuff. Just don't. If I've invited you it means I enjoy your company. (I've had enough parties that I've weeded out the annoying people from the guestlist.) Let's just keep it that way. Don't wander into rooms that obviously aren't meant for you. Don't go up the the 3rd floor, there is no need. My room is a mess and you needn't be near it.

I spend months designing the perfect party area only to have people traipse about in other places. Please don't do it. Don't go through cupboards, don't go through closets, don't play in the storage room, don't get out my cello or guitar...that's just annoying.


Wow...I'm not bitter or anything, hahahaha!


Well; I have cakes to bake, decor to hang, last minute invitations to deliver, menus to finalize, vacuuming to do, and a whole lot of other crap... (you'd be bitter if someone walked in and wrecked it, too) all within the next 2 days.

...Maybe I won't have a party for my birthday in July...
