With a dinner party in the works for tomorrow night, I had a list a mile long today. Somehow I only managed to conquer about a quarter mile. Meaning I will be dead sprinting the last 3/4. While my guests aren't likely to check the tidiness of the junk drawer, I will be able to draw comfort knowing it is reorganized. And who knows, if things get boring, I can always lure them in to take a peak at it. But let's hope it doesn't come to that.
I did manage to get a couple of Amelia's new (old) Barbies' hair restyled...
Again, let's hope the conversation at our party doesn't turn to doll hair. But just in case it does, I have plenty to say on the subject, along with some visuals.
Aside from the junk drawer, Barbie beauty shop, and 10,000 loads of laundry, our Friday was mostly uneventful. We did, however, do up our Friday night the best way we know how...
...grilled Georgia boys escorted by pickled okra with a fine sporting event (water duels) going on in the distance.
Bring on the weekend!
I wish those hose pictures had sound to them. I can just hear those youngins squealing with joy.
Happy Weekend!

Good luck with your dinner party tomorrow! I wanted to let you know that I made your Sawdust Pie tonight for friends of ours - it was DELICIOUS!! I remembered you posted the recipe on here and I found it! Thank you for putting it on here - it brought back great memories of our trip there last year - pie and Bananagrams! :)

That is one very organized junk drawer! You and the Container Store must be BFF! :)
What are those tan colored things that look like sponges?
I love Barbie's hair style! I should book an appointment with you for Ava Grace's 20 favorite Barbie's! Their hair is a royal MESS! You should be a Barbie stylist! :)
That dinner looked beautiful!
Enjoy your guests and your dinner party!

You make me laugh. I picture that you speak the exact same way that you write. Which is so entertaining. I want to be your dinner party guest please. Did I miss a post on the dinner party details? Did y'all play any conversation games? I need some ideas if you have any! And I LOVE that you guys eat tomatoes as a side dish!!!
