Speed Blogging is not good!

Well in my need to speed and get out an entry for my clamoring fans, I made a boo boo. Lisy has pointed out (thank you very much) that my last post makes it look like I'm bummed cause the Pastor and his wife are coming to church. That is SO NOT the case. I'm pretty nervous actually. It's Friday and the house is upside down and I've yet to plan the menu! Anyway back to the business at hand, I'd like to state for the record that I am not bummed that they are coming, I am bummed that I cannot go to English town. HOWEVER, I would rather have the pastor come over and share with us a moment with God than go look at old stuff that isn't going to do my soul a bit of good. So with that said I will continue blogging about my wonderful life. :)

OK, so you know the Pastor & his wife are coming. I'm so excited! I have so much to do. I'm going to clean like a possessed hoover vacuum today! lol I need to buy some salad plates at the dollar store today. Cause who ever heard of having salad on a dinner plate? lolol I have to make sure that they are pretty plates, you know something fancy shmancy. Cause my china is totally white, so I need some happy plates for the salad! Alright, alright...its not REAL china. but so what. It did sound nice when I typed it out. lol And how would YOU know what it really is. I mean what guest would actually pick up their plate off the table and examine the bottom? As a matter of fact, they COULD be real china...I wouldn't know. My sister in law gave them to me.

Quick story. OK maybe not so quick, but its still a story! lol I invited my brother and his wife (Mika) to spend the weekend with me on my birthday last year. When I went to pick her up she had a housewarming gift for me. New plates and glasses. I was so touched by her generosity. I mean who does that anymore?? I was just glad they were spending the weekend. Anywhoooo, I had to run a quick errand and I let her in the apt with my brother. When I came back I saw the empty boxes but didn't pay much attention. Well the weekend was splendid! I spent time with my beautiful nieces and my family. After they left I had a chance to see what she bought me. beautiful white plates and her mother had given me beautiful glasses. I was so happy! I was so afraid I wouldn't like her taste, but I was very pleased with it. The plates had this design around the edges and it added a touch of class to it. Since I had classy plates I decided to tell her how I was afraid that they were going to be tacky and stuff. Cause hey, I'm classy too! lol God bless her soul, she just laughed at me. Probably thinking of class-less that comment truly was. lol

Back to our regularly scheduled topic.....Tomorrow morning I want to get up early and buy some fresh bread at the bakery and maybe some cookies. Not sure exactly what I want to serve for dessert. What do you think? I'm thinking a small cake maybe or some fresh cookies. I guess I'll decide at the bakery. lol

I'm really excited but I'm nervous too. Why? cause what if we BORE the pastor and his wife and then they never want to come back? I'm afraid. You know .... a bad case of the jitters. and then my husband doesn't make it any better cause when I asked if he thought about the nights menu he says and I quote...."I'll ask Paulie if he wants to come over and help make the rice"....I was crestfallen (yeah I know the word...surprised?)...anyway, I was so hurt. and I guess I didn't cover it up well enough and he tried to clean it up (bless his heart)...oh serve whatever. I don't know. There ya go ladies and germs...total support!! NOT!!

Whatever, I'm thinking of this:

Salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, mozzarella cheese)
Bread (with butter)

Pork chops
White Rice
Red beans (with real Puerto Rico sofrito)

Cookies/cake
Coffee

What do you think? Sound good?? I think so. I'm excited. I'll post more about my weekend next week. Keep me in your prayers.

BTW, since I finished the lights out book yesterday, I picked up We'll Meet Again by Mary Higgins Clark!

Oh and most importantly, did I tell you that Janet Evanovich has a new book out? OMG. They have an excerpt on her web page. I read it. I love her books. I'm so excited!! http://www.evanovich.com/ Please take a read. I guarantee you'll never regret it!!
