Round one of Thanksgiving was yesterday and Wonderboy and I hosted. It was great having everyone over at our house and it all went off without a hitch. I had fun and it looked like everyone else did, too.I have always wanted to be one of those people who hosts lots of parties. Instead I’m usually the kind of person who’s too lazy to invite people over. It’s hogwash! Turns out that when you invite people over there are all sorts of benefits:
- You get to enjoy the company of your family and friends (or just family or just friends as the case may be)
- Finally you have motivation to clean (my silverware drawer has never looked so good!)
- Depending on your guest list, you learn what parts of your house are not kid—friendly (turns out that sitting in my closet under my clothes and inside the hamper that houses my purses is really fun)
- The scooter gets so much attention (it works as a great treat for kids, as in “behave and you’ll get a ride on the scooter”)
The low point of yesterday was hands down the tofurkey that Wonderboy introduced into my diet. BLECH. And we have leftovers! I don’t want any of that sitting in my refrigerator. Sick, hard disks of nothingness…
