Common-Sense Party Planning
Note to self: When preparing food for a birthday BBQ, next time remember not to choose complicated recipes that you’ve never tried before and that you are going to have only a 2-hour nap window to prepare. And perhaps offering lamb, chicken and shrimp for 4 guests is a bit of overkill.
PS to self: If you must serve a signature cocktail (And god, really? Signature cocktail?), it might be wise to forget the one that calls for orgeat syrup and requires you to comb all of Park Slope’s coffee shops in order to find it.
PPS to self: When the baby goes down for a nap, don't be an idiot and decide you are very tired also and need a nap yourself instead of preparing for the BBQ.
PPPS to self: After bathing the baby, remember to diaper her quickly instead of letting her crawl around naked, even if you are trying to clear up some very stubborn diaper rash. She might use the opportunity to take a huge crap on the floor, squish it between her toes, and then pick it up and smear it all over the couch in her room 30 minutes before your guests are set to arrive.
PPPPS to self: Get rid of couch ASAP.
Who me?
