Ready or Not!

I HAVE to tell you guys what happened to me yesterday. It was Friday, October 15th. I was cleaning (major cleaning) and baking/cooking all day. Why? Well, I had to prepare for my Tastefully Simple Party (that is TODAY- the 16th)... but I also had to prepare for my company that was coming for dinner last night.

I started chilli in the crock pot. Mmm... smelled so yummy. I made a pumpkin pie- just for fun- to share with our dinner our guests. I attempted to make cheddar biscuits... not really successful there (threw those in the garbage later).

I was so proud of myself. (Pride comes before the fall.)

The house was all in order (the best that it can be). The food was all prepared. The table was set. I was ready.

I was expecting my guests around 6pm. When 6pm rolled around, I was getting more and more excited to see one of my best friends. I tried to contain my excitement and just finish the last minute details. I got a call from my mom... I warned her I'd have to get off soon because we were expecting company. But we went ahead and chit-chatted for awhile anyway.

6:15- no company.

"I wonder where they are. She's good at calling if she's running behind or something." --me

"Maybe they got held up with the kids?"

6:25- I checked my email to see if she'd sent anything. Nothing. I decided to reread our exchange of emails to see if I had the wrong time. I seriously thought it was 6pm. But maybe it was 6:30? Or even 7?

Oh I had the time right...

...it was the DAY I had wrong.





We had planned for the 15th, but she had to change dates because she was already busy that day. So... we changed it to the 29th.

I was ready 2 weeks early! I think that's the earliest I've ever been for anything!

So, I'd like to (hope?) think I was on my pain meds when we exchanged those emails. Why in the world did I never change my calendar? Oh my goodness...




Thought you might need a little chuckle... or two.
