Freak Out!
So we are having a dinner party tonight..in like 2 hours, and where am I…stuck at work for another 25 minutes. I have just been informed that another friend is coming over bringing the grand total of mouths to feed to 9! Don’t get me wrong, I am excited to see everyone. So the issue is that we have a nice large pub style table that seats 8, and being that it is pub style (higher than a normal dining room table) means we can’t just add a random chair, we have to add a bar stool. Not only that but I specifically bought 8 matching placemats and ironed 8 crisp white napkins (I know I am totally OCD and it is so shining through now!), so my loving husband gets to balance on a backless barstool with a paper napkin and an ugly placemat…it’s like he’s at the kid’s table at Thanksgiving. Not that he or anyone else will really care, but I guess this is the domestic diva in me. Now I just hope I have enough food! It’s like a trial run for Thanksgiving I guess…with twice as many people!
I need a glass of wine……

Esh! Good luck!
The description of your husband as being like a kid at the kiddy table cracked me up.
I hope everything goes well!!

jason often accuses me of having a “martha stewart” complex when I am trying to throw something together at the last minute when we were supposed to be out the door 10 minutes before I started my “project”.
