Once in a
great while the stars align and great things happen. Today is not one of those days.
What was I
thinking when I offered to host a celebratory party for my cousin and her new
fiancé? I must have been temperorily out
of my mind. Not that I don’t want to
celebrate my cousin good fortune. Paul
is a great guy and Connie couldn’t be any happier, it is just that, well, my
life had been totally off the wall lately.
The band has started to get noticed, we are getting better gigs and a
real following. So when am I going to
find time to organize, clean, make food, send out invites and take care of all
the other one hundred and fifty some odds and ends Connie will be expecting to
be done, making this the party to end all parties. She is such a perfectionist. I am never going to pull this off. All of this flashed through my mind as I
stood hugging my cousin amazed at how my mouth spewed forth without my brain
running interference on the words slipping out.
“Of
course, I will be throwing you and Paul a party. You two are a great couple and everyone will
want to congratulate you on your engagement.”
I said with a smile plastered on my face.
