Two dinners in two days
The first, on Wednesday, was at Juanell's, a late birthday party for Mike. It was all very fortuitous: Maggie and I had walked to Ralph's, more from a "let's get some fresh air and exercise" point of view than a "we need X food item" point of view. Suddenly I heard someone calling Maggie's name, and turned around to see Juanell. She mentioned dinner & we said we'd come. And then her cell phone rang, and it was Joe, in town for spring break, so she invited him over too. Pretty cool. Maggie was very cute and good. She got a bit upset when rainfletcher had to leave to go to his rehearsal, but Juanell put Winnie the Pooh in and all was forgotten. Except Winnie the Pooh. Which she asked for several times yesterday, sigh.
The second, yesterday, was here: I invited Juanell over so I could show her where diapers & snacks are, since she's coming over to watch Maggie on Monday when I go to an OB visit. I worked really hard tidying up the house and putting dinner together. (Yes, barryfreed, the house is actually approaching presentable!) It was a bit tricky because I didn't know whether or not Tom was coming too, and so I had to prepare enough food for him too. And then he didn't come, so we have tons left over. I made a mini-pizza bar, mini homemade pizza rounds with a variety of toppings. I just feel really good that we had a nice little dinner party! We're not really set up for entertaining, but I do want to have people over and fix yummy food and be social sometimes.
