Women get weary

I’m having a dinner party tomorrow. The guest of honor is not coming and that’s because he wasn’t given a chance – so sad, but what are you going to do? As I mentioned earlier, how you act comes back to haunt you time and time again. And so it is.

I was sitting around planning my menu when someone suggested I get sandwiches so I don’t have to cook. Huh? The whole point of having a house is to have people you want to cook for come over and enjoy it with you – which for me means taking care of them – eating, drinking, dancing. Or that’s the way I look at it.

I love giving dinner parties – but at the end of the day, it’s exhausting – the planning, shopping, preparing, cooking, etc. You got to just stop and enjoy what you are doing or it can overwhelm you. So planning the menu, I went on the front porch with Arlene and made notes. Then I just looked out on the bayou and watched the fish jumping out and thought I really do love cooking and figuring out what we are going to eat and who is going to come.

How lucky am I?
