Lots and lots to do before I leave this afternoon. I prepped all day yesterday and then called it for the evening. I'm full of excitement and a little dread. Once I get to the house, meet the ladies, etc I'll either be relaxed and happy OR start managing my mind around "why did I say yes." Hah!!
The dread is because of 2 things. One is I'm probably sharing a room ... and wonder with whom, etc. The next is I learned I probably know the other 3 ladies from when I lived in my old neighborhood. Not well, just met at a few gatherings. They're all very close and they weren't people I had interest in getting to know. Not that they were awful or anything, just not my thing. (Drink a lot and dance around the room with each other kind of ladies -- which is not me.)
I really, really, really hope I'm wrong on all fronts!! I'm going in with an open mind and trust that my friend chooses friends well. Based on the text messages from yesterday, I'm less hopeful though. It sounds like a dance party could breakout -- eek.
Speaking of activities, I'm packing up rock painting stuff and I don't think there will be time or interest. I guess it's no big deal to pack it up and bring it -- the host requested it twice. That's something I can correct my attitude about. I'm also looking at it like part of my contribution to the weekend. I'm bringing homemade hummus (with veggies), Rice Krispie treats, wine and a hostess gift too. That's enough.
I'm leaving the grow room in hubby's hands. We have liftoff. Cucumbers, tomatoes and basil. Waiting on the peppers and parsley. When I get home I need to rework the plants now that they sprouted -- need to be watered differently.
The raised garden bed is getting irrigation installed today. These are the only guys who responded. One was suppose to come this week -- never showed. Another phoned backed with the most religious voicemail and text. When in the south, that reads conservative, you-know-who supporter (in code because of bots lol). Nope to them.
Fingers crossed for this weekend. This will be memorable either way and I will learn a lot either way. An adventure of some kind awaits and I plan to enjoy it. This is a total out-of-the-box 'yes' for me. I'm super happy this is the first thing happening for this 10 day stretch. It's the only thing I'm nervous about and good to have it go first.
I'll be back in a few days. Later gators.
