My So Called Perfect Life

‘Tis the season for Holiday Parties and for us, this first weekend of December is packed with soiree’s that need cute clothes and alas, maternity+cute+holiday-ish=disaster. Well, disaster or $98 which I refuse to spend on one shirt that can only be worn somewhere semi fancy and not to the park with the kids. I probably couldn’t even wear it eating breakfast next to my kids. Plus, there are some guests who will be at both parties so that means I need two shirts since wearing the same shirt two nights in a row would be, *gasp* a big fashion no-no.

Currently we have 8 hours until Party Number 1, which happens to be at my dinner hosted at my house and I still need a tablecloth, napkins and something refreshing and pretty to drink during dinner. Most importantly, I need some glasses to put the drink in because I’ve just realized that we have 12 guests and only 4 glass glasses that aren’t sippy cups.

There are a few bits of good news:

1. My Hottie bought us some new silverware and I didn’t even have to get it for Christmas. (Kitchenware for Christmas gifts is not romantical)

2. My Hottie bought me new fancy dishes. We’ve offically been married for 9 years and 2 days and never had nice completely matching dishes.

3. I found these super cute red berry picks on super sale and they look cute on the table.

4. The only thing I need to prepare for dinner is the ham. Everyone else is bringing dishes to share, which takes a huge load off.

5. I have a Gas Station Code Red to get me through the day. Bliss.

I have a doctors appointment and then I’ll rush off to a few stores to buy the bits I’m still needing…I’m anxious to see if things pull together by 6pm.
