Fresh Flowers Make You Feel Like a Rock Star



I'm so proud of myself! I never have anyone over for dinner but I signed up to host dinner group. I say, if you're afraid of heights, you better bungee jump! So it is for me with cooking and cleaning up for other people. I'm afraid of it, so I have to do it. And yes, I burned the soup...but at least it was after everyone was done eating (I left the burner on)!

The couples were amazing, admirable, and genuine people. We played the game 2 Truths 1 Lie (you have to guess which of the 3 facts the person says about themselves is not true). We learned incredible stuff about each other we never would have known otherwise! We had a doctor that was a lead singer of a rock band who was also a world champion clogger, a person who has no sense of smell (her husband likes it that way!), and someone that toured Europe as a folk dancer among us. My 3 things about myself...1) I lost the bonus round on Wheel of Fortune, 2) I can't hear my own burps, 3) I went to college at age 16. The lie...number 1. And yes, I can't hear my own burps! I know...weird, but true. I have to ask, "Was that a loud one?" And I really have no idea if it is or isn't.

It's amazing I was able to pull off a clean house because this is what Ava was doing while I was cooking dinner:

beautiful table setting and I just love the look on Avas face!!! Congrats on hosting and I get on my kids for burping, but don't realize I do it out loud either!!!

How can you resist that cute little face! What a doll, even if she made a little mess.

Great job on the table decor. You need to give me lessons. It looked amazing!

That burping thing is funny. I remember you asking me if your burps were loud or not. (forever ago :).
