Change of plans...

Apparently, one of the bartenders told my brother he can work afterall. So, I guess I'm getting a reprive. Too bad I already cancelled my dinner plans, huh? At least I managed to do all my cleaning this morning, which leaves my evening free to get ready for tomorrow. Somehow, I managed to waste over 3 hours (and LOTS of $$!) at Sam's Club. Well, truth be told, about 30 minutes of that was spent retracing my steps because I lost an earring. :( I'm so sad about that! I have been wearing these same earrings, which I received as a gift in Italy, since I got them in 2002! They are gold hoops, and I wear them everyday. Now, I only have one. Ugh! On the bright side, this is the perfect reason to switch to the new sterling silver hoops my mom brought me back this year. Still, I'm not happy.

OK, I've got to get back to work. It took me almost a half hour to bring everything I bought at Sam's in the house and get it put away. This short post was my "break," but now I've got some yummy dips to make. On the menu for tomorrow - Buffalo Chicken Dip, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Bruschetta (all 3 of which we serve at the bar, tee hee) and Chili Cheese Dip. Gee, not having to actually cook a meal freed me up to go Dip Crazy, didn't it? My brother, God bless him, offered to make the 3 things we serve at the bar for the party, but I told him not to worry. Now that I have so much free time tonight, I'll get it done.

I'm planning to come back later with a birthday post. I hope I get all my work finished...
