If you’re not a great cook… you panic…
As in you ask yourself over and over and over again WHY you did this…
But the invitation was extended and I followed through….
After all the suggestions (and thank you all for that), I ended up with wheat free lasagna, texas toast, and salad…
and there was dessert…
the house was relatively picked up… and the kids helped… er… sorta…
but as usual, I was at the grocery store at 4 because i needed the salad mix, salt and the toast… so we’re rushing home to get the lasagna in the oven by 5… so that it would be ready by 6 and darned if we didn’t almost do it …
(it doesn’t really matter because the men were late… go figure….)
and there were two phone calls… one to my mother to ask her if i covered the lasagna and one to Dale and Becki to ask how I knew it was done…
yeah, I know… i’m retarded…
but you know what?
it all worked out…
and after we stuffed ourselves, we sat in the living room while Samara played Dance Mania… and then I had to beat her… because i’m like that… 
all in all… it was great… and i’m not so nervous about having people over anymore… and i just lost any “i can’t cook” excuse that i ever had… because everthing was darn near perfect…
(except we couldn’t find the salt that we had just bought… but if that’s the worst thing that happens, we’re blessed….)
oh! i forgot to mention Samara’s dessert.. she made cookies and cream pudding, but because Anchorman (the intern) gets headaches from chocolate, she made him a white cake with white icing… and it was beautiful…
she was so proud of it, that we took pictures….
and it WAS a good cake… not that i would know, because you know, I’m wheat free and all…
ok, so i had a bite…
and now it’s over… and i’ve got a podcast to record with Nell for MomsBlogging.com!
Until next time…

I’m glad it all worked out well!! It’s always a good thing when things go well enough to enjoy it yourself
yummmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Yipee! I’m so glad it went well
Looks like you are losing your excuses for a lot of things!
By the way, I was wondering if you beat beat Samara or if you beat her at the Dance Mania stuff
I know the answer, but I just have to pick on ya!
It took me forever to learn this but I finally figured out that if you view a dinner party as setting a few more plates for the family meal rather than putting on a special event for guests things will always go smoothly. It’s nice to read that you had a good time.
It sounds like it went great! And the cake looks wonderful.
I just love her posing with her cake and the dinner guests! Glad to hear the party went well…it was such fun to speak with you tonight, too.
Such sweet pictures!! What a cutie and the cake looks scrumptious!
