All went well, as you might have imagined it would.
Most people came, no one stayed for the entire thing, thank goodness, and all went well. I wildly over-catered, which means that we are eating very heartily today, and they liked some of the food so much that I am now giving out recipes left, right and center.
Nice.
It ended more or less on time, and I have gotten to meet some people I otherwise wouldn't have, which is good too. You know, spouses of and all that.
Had a four hour nap today, which was an utter delight and let me catch up on my sleep. Also, and this is the biggest advantage of it all, we cleared a whole lot of little things off the to-do list. Painted Youngest's room, though the architect, who came too, was concerned about the humidity and we will probably have further meetings on the matter, we got a lot of lights up, curtains on doors that needed them...that sounds odd, but we have a door in the very back that leads into a storage area which is almost disasterously damp, so we took the glass out of the door, which effectively dealt with the damp, but was a might unsightly in the dining room as it is a storage space; hence the curtain.
We also got stickes off things we haven't bothered taking them off of before, I know, lazy lazy lazy, but there it is.
All is well, and a lot of fun was had, I hope.
Saturday,
Ahhhhhhh.

Well done! Enjoy your days of rest. It's such a good idea to have a party on a Friday and then have the weekend to recover.

Glad it all went well *phew* now you can relax and enjoy some of the fruits of your labors.
Congrats on the sucessful party. Feel free to post recipes along with your photos :-)
Wonderful! Just as a party should be. My parents built a home in 1978 and failed to get a door knob on one of the doors. They finally fixed it....when they sold the house twenty years later.
K....that is an upside without a doubt!
Trish, hmm, maybe I'll go downstairs to eat something!
Picklepits, recipies to come!
Hula, those stupid little jobs that never get done. Hate 'em. Still have a couple on the list, but not nearly so many as there were! Nothing like working to a deadline.
Yay! So glad it was fun, and now you get a well-deserved, satisfied rest. Did people understand the build-your-own-combos?
Great! It's fun to hear about a party, especially one with cool food and a good mix of people.
JG...indeed! I never got to the build your own, I had too much food anyway, and miscalculated the amount of time I would spend giving tours versus being able to cook. Ah well.
Kate, it was good, lots of folks and they seemed to have a reasonable time, I hope.
Glad to hear it turned out so well. Now you can rest. :)
