in training

This week has been a bit insane. Tuesday I came down with a nasty sickness of some sort and kept me in bed all day Wednesday with a fever, all-over aching, and a horrible sore throat. The nasty bug has yet to leave me, so I am home again today nursing myself back to health for the busy weekend that lies in front of me.

I am throwing a huge party a week from tomorrow and have a lot of preparation to do. A to-do list filled with cleaning, decorating, cooking, baking, and purchasing a crap-load of alcohol awaits me. There are about 50 people on the invite list, so I am foreseeing a packed house. Since we decided to start the party at 3:00, most of the festivities will partake in the outdoor arena with the classic outdoor party games of horseshoes, beer pong, and flip cup. I am ultra excited because I haven't played any of those games since my senior year of college when it was still cool to get drunk by noon and puke n' rally by midnight. In next Saturday's case, I'm just hoping to not pass out by 10:00. Oh, have times a changed.

But first there is this weekend. Tomorrow an engagement party for my brother-in-law and Sunday a wedding for a girlfriend of mine - both events in which a lot of alcohol will be consumed. I am considering it to be great training for what next Saturday holds for me.
