This year, however, Mom & Dad as well as Kelly's little family aren't going to be here. Sidse & I had thought a couple of months ago that we should do our own version, and I didn't forget. I've been thinking about it since then & I'm just about to start getting ready for it.
Sidse & I came up with a menus of kabobs & salads. This is because Robin & Jeremiah are struggling vegetarians & I want to at least "pretend" to be supportive. Just kidding! After all, I supported Jeny all through high school, so it's only fair to do so with Rob & Jer. So I bought most of the vegg last night... P.S. Never go to WalMart the day before a holiday rife with camping and BBQs! I was in line for 20 MINUTES!!! Today I just need to set up the table on the deck, the table for the fireworks to be screwed to, the garbage can so the refuse can be put in it, finish the dishes that Kelly said she would do after Sunday, water Dad's plants again, water Mom's plants, water Grandma's rose, take a shower, finish my laundry... and probably go back to the store to pick up zucchini & maybe charcoal if we don't have any here.
It sounds like a lot to do... and it is, but I have like 8 hours until most of them are going to show. I think Rob & Jer are the only ones planning on being early. And we'll see how it goes. Thankfully, as much as I want everyone to have a fabulous time, I'm not going to kill myself trying to impress them. If they're not already impressed, then that's their problem. But I guess it's not helping that I'm screwing around with this... Hmmm... What to do... What to do...
