Preparations

Another cold, snowy day here in NW Indiana.

At least the sun is shining though!

I can't believe how it lifts the spirits.

I took these photos from my office window this morning.

Today is not any ordinary day though. As I sit and type this, that darling Cindy from Cottage Instincts in en route.

I hope she likes what we are having for supper tonight.

I still can't chew too well.

My whole head is hurting.

Even my hair is hurts.

This can't be normal.

Nothing says 'welcome' like fresh, hot bread.

I rarely, and I do mean rarely have 'overnight' guests.

I get weird.

I worry alot.

I vacuumed twice today.

It's like you start seeing your house for the first time, or something.

All of the sudden, I want to redecorate the entire joint.

I'm going to force, er, I mean ask her if she'd like to take a nice hot bubble bath.

I bought some 'localish' wine. I don't know if she drinks or not, but I hope she does.

She might not notice all the ladybug carcasses trapped in the windows if she partakes a bit.

Her bed is all fresh and ready, and perfumed with linen spray.

Her towels are ready.

I picked up some books at the library I thought she might enjoy, in case she can't sleep.

Some of the chocolate cloaked cookies and truffles await.

My first attempt at truffles....I wasn't too pleased.

Again, this is where the wine will come in handy.

Tomorrow morning we'll get up and head to a little blogging get together in Illinois.

I wish I could tell you more about it, but I can't, cause I don't know much about it!

I'm going to meet 20 people that I don't know.

I haven't had the time to visit their blogs.

Maybe I should drink some wine too.
