Whew!

Well the shower is done. All that planning and its over in a matter of hours. A bunch of people didn't make it because of weather and other various reasons, but Hannah and I both agreed that if there were many more it would have been very over crowded!

So we had WAY too much food, no one had really cancelled until Saturday morning, and all of the groceries were already in my fridge by then. Oh well. Nick and I are eating leftovers all this week.

Today I have to get regular food though, we need milk and other staples. I have to declutter the kitchen first or I may go nuts. There are food containers, bags with serving trays, bags with candy and nuts, leftover cake, and leftover favors everywhere!

Nick had to stay for the lock-in Friday night so he was completely exhausted all weekend. He slept most of Saturday and Sunday. I went to church yesterday morning, came home changed into jeans and did almost nothing productive. I always forget how tiring it is to plan parties.

The one productive thing I did, was call the landlord about the hot water in the kitchen. For months now, every time we would turn it up too far, it would sound like the pipes were shuddering like mad and the pressure would drop off. The dishwasher wasn't working right, and I was hoping that the water was either not warm enough, or it wasn't enough pressure. So Alva came over, turned a knob under the sink that I must have bumped or something, and viola, we now have pressure! And it seems to have fixed the problem with the dishwasher too! It took about 45 minutes less for it to run through last night. Thats the best its ever done since we got it in November!

That was my weekend. Now I get to look ahead to the next shower, Darlene and I are throwing one for Laura sometime this summer. The weather should be better for this one I hope. ;-)
