While we accomplished dinner (both nights) neither meal turned out exemplary. The pork was overdone, due to the guests being over an hour late, and a tiny hole in the roasting pan. The chicken was good on Sunday, but no one really flipped for the quinoa and the tortellini's ended up being one gigantore mush-pile. We got rave reviews on the basement, and all in all had a great time. Now, it's on to planning a friend's bridal shower, hosted here. My plan is to keep things simple...and each mom/girl bring or make an hor d'oeuvre. Hopefully, I can convince hubs to get moving on the patio....at this point all I want is the patio done, the pergola can wait, I suppose. ;)

My next decorating project is to be the nursery. I know, I know...I'm not expecting, but I don't think it's entirely out of the question at this point. If I have an infant for the daycare, I use that room for their napping. It stems to reason, that if I have a crib in there...it might not be entirely off to decorate the room as a nursery...for future little bambino's. This way, I won't have to rush, I can actually do it up the way I see it in my head...and hopefully have time to tweak it so it's perfect.

I'll do a separate post on that later...but just know it's coming!
