On a happier note, I'm busy preparing for our ribbon cutting and open house at the office on Tuesday. I have absolutely no idea how many will be there. It's on the chamber of commerce newsletter and I don't know how many people attend because of that. I sent out a ton of email invitations. The weather is supposed to be good, so who knows.
I ordered premade sandwiches on cocktail buns. No butter so they won't get yucky. I also ordered a cake. I noticed there was a big sale on chips and pop today so I got that. I'll make a big vege tray (MUCH cheaper than premade) I also got some chex mix and I think that should do it. The invite says "light munchies" but it's 4:30 - 6:00 so I'm including at least a little sandwich. I am not including wine...people stay too long when you serve alcohol, lol.
My friend Gretchen is planning to come down and spend the night. My parents aren't coming because it's in the evening and winter and they don't drive at night. (a 2 hour drive) They really want to come and sent me money to buy a plant for the office and put their name on it. I thought that was nice. I explained to them that I didn't have a lot of choice in the time if I wanted it to coincide with the ribbon cutting and to be at a time when people who work could attend. I didn't expect them to come. I realized yesterday that I really didn't expect anyone to come and now I'm realizing that there's a potential for a really big crowd, lol. That means I have a lot to do this weekend to do the finishing touches and clean the house for my overnight guest.
