 getting ready

the cats woke me up at 6:15, which totally pissed me off. they never, ever fight, but this morning it sounded like they were hissing and bashing each other into the walls. thankfully i fell back asleep around 7 and slept for another couple of hours.

bad news, though... my left hand is now falling asleep at night like my right one used to. i don't understand this, because the pain in my wrist that sent me to my orthopaedist last month was not at all carpal-tunnel related! perhaps in addition to the diagnosed ligament problems there is also secondary carpal tunnel syndrome. that would totally suck. but i've noticed my left hand falling asleep a little when i'm knitting, too (boo!), and that's totally symptomatic of carpal tunnel.

*sigh*

today we're cleaning cleaning cleaning. i have a feeling there's going to be a lot of people here tonight. which is good --i hope to see a lot of old friends i haven't hung out with in a while-- but is also slightly terrifying... mostly because i sometimes have difficulty forcing myself to circulate as much as a hostess should. i should carry a little stopwatch that beeps every 10 minutes or something... "move on! next group!"

heh.

mary & lisa took me to costco last night to buy party food. we got a lot of fancy stuff. (i mean, we'll have potato chips, but we'll also have stuff like steamed asparagus & puff pastries.) they also insisted on knowing what i was going to wear, so afterwards i did a mini fashion show for them. they raided my closet... i think i tried on 4 or 5 outfits before they finally wholeheartedly approved of something. it was actually kind of fun.

tony & mary anne have driven up from charlotte for the party (!!) and they're staying at charo's house. i went over there after the fashion show to have a little dinner and catch up with them before they headed out to the lambchop show at the cradle. i think they offered to come by this afternoon and help us clean, too. they're insane.

ok, i've gotta go vacuum and stuff. i'm really excited about tonight!
