We're in one of those weeks that Cop Car shudders to think about. Half of our exercise class will be coming for a potluck brunch on Friday. If they walked in the door now, I wouldn't be ready for them, but I should be ready by Friday morning.
I've been trying to put in two to three hours a day on the gardens. They won't be perfect, but they'll be reasonably acceptable by Friday. My friends will understand they are a work in progress.
I have a body count of 22. The question is.....do I trust that count? Nah...I really don't, and I don't want to get caught at the last minute without enough chairs and place settings. I'd like to add a small table for four, just in case someone brings a guest, or perhaps a class member didn't get to sign up. Beyond that, I'll have to punt.
I'm making a double recipe of Baked Ziti, and maybe a Caesar Salad with chicken. We'll also provide beverages, bread and butter. (Nice alliteration, huh?? *G*) I'd like to set the tables Thursday night, but since we have a cat, I think I'll wait until early Friday morning, just to be safe, so everything else has to be done by Thursday night.
I need to put away the two current quilting projects, and straighten the area where I sew. I'll deadhead the flowers and sweep the sidewalk, and not worry about anything else that needs to be done. My friends will understand that there is only one of me, I'm sure, and we'll have a wonderful time together.
I had to laugh. Of the 22 who have signed up, at least NINE are bringing dessert! *G* You can bet I'll have to blog about that!

*shuddering* You glutton for punishment, you! You are so generous of your time and efforts for your friends. You are a marvel!
P.S. You caught me with the "body count"--I'm thinking, "Wow! What a great body mass index. Buffy's exercise class is doing great by her." Then, I realized that you were using "body count" as I would use "head count". Do you suppose that "body count" is Upper Midwestern??

Cop Car, I shudder to think what my body count is right now....maybe I should wait a bit before checking that, or risk heart failure at the score!
Yes...body count COULD be upper Midwestern, but how will we ever find out?? *G*
Bod....One lady is bringing "angle" cake. I have NO doubt that the rest will be the "bad for you" sticky, gooey kind! I'll tell you all about it after Friday. Hon....take your daughter and go out and have a really sinful dessert RIGHT NOW! *G*
