Party Countdown: Two Days

I decorated the vases and the cookies last night and even finished the music playlist for the party. Rob was worried that posting these lists makes it seem like the party is a ton of work. It’s not really, these are small chores. The fun stuff starts today:

• Buy Flowers – Done! I bought queen anne’s lace, snap dragons, hydrangeas and lisianthus for the arrangements. The big newspaper and twine bundles barely fit in the car.
• Make arrangements – Should be a piece of cake.
• Set the table – This involves putting out a tablecloth, covering the top with butcher paper and setting out the picture frame painting materials.
• Go to the Grocery Store – One last trip to Safeway should do the trick! I need to buy apples, figs, veggies, olives, soda and vodka.

I’m going to do all the cooking and some last minute cleaning tomorrow. If all goes well, Nicole and I should have plenty of time for some pre-party cocktails and relaxation!
