I survived the weekend. Whew. I may need to get t-shirts printed up that say that. Perhaps sell them to college kids on spring break. We had a great time but it was tiring. There was a steady stream of people in and out of our house from 4 p.m. Friday till my friend left at 2 p.m. yesterday. My in-laws even dropped by for a surprise visit with ZERO warning 30 minutes before my guests were to show up.
My husband wasn't there because I had sent him on an emergency mission for a gift for the birthday guy, which I had forgotten to get, and bread, because my bread maker was too hot for me to make the second loaf of bread right away. Then my friends brought an extra guest. And the blender died just as I was getting ready to make the 1st batch of margaritas. My husband got to make a second emergency run to the store for a new blender. Then another couple was an hour late because they didn't realize we were eating at 4. And my friend who was in town visiting got back from the wedding early and announced they didn't have food at the wedding. I barely had enough food to feed everyone which you know is a cardinal sin in my Southern hostessing little heart.
But in the end it all came together thanks to a fabulous brisket and copious amounts of alcohol. Everyone declared the party a success. Sunday morning my friend and I snuck away for ginormous breakfast burritos at a local Mexican restaurant while the boys slept in. She was even so kind as to go to church with me even though my church is quite a bit different from her own. After she left I got to relax and finish watching Season 1 of Mad Men I rented on Netflix. If you aren't watching this show yet go add it to your Netflix queue. Now, go ahead, I'll wait. The new season starts this coming Sunday at 9 p.m. CST on AMC. I can hardly wait.
Now if you will excuse me I have to go catch up on laundry, dishes, and getting my house back in order.

shew! That weekend makes me want to lay down for a nap!!! Glad you made it girl.
Margaritas & brisket! And I wasn't invited?! :)
For your daily dose of vintage goodness & a bit of silliness, stop by Confessions of an Apron Queen
As long as you had enough alcohol, I am sure it was a success! Sounds like fun.
Glad you had a great weekend! Thank goodness for emergency blender runs!
sounds like you were a great hostess!
And I thought I had a rough weekend, I guess at least none of my countertop appliances died.
As it turns out for me, weekends are no longer for recovering from the week, but that the week is for recovering from the weekend.
Just reading it exhausted me. :)
I've heard that's a good show (Mad Men). Thanks for stopping by my blog and entering my giveaway.
