In case you were wondering just how distracted I am with all this candidacy Mass & party stuff…
This morning I counted the chairs out back that we had delivered yesterday. We ordered 50. I counted 40. I counted them again. And again. Three times I came back with 40 chairs.
Okay, this is not good since the number of party people keeps rising. I called the company & they apologized, saying they’d send someone with the 10 missing chairs.
Later in the morning Theresa got up. I complained about the chairs. “Dad counted them yesterday when they were delivered and there were 50.” No way. I counted them 3 times. I couldn’t be wrong. I went outside and counted them again. Magically, there were suddenly 50 chairs out there. Guess who was apologizing to the company when I called back to say they didn’t screw up?
Next mess up – I decided to make pizza for dinner. It was easy because I had dough in the freezer that I had made a while back. I had sauce in the refrigerator. All I needed to do was defrost the dough & then throw on the sauce & cheese. As I’m going for the mozzarella, I find out there isn’t any. Ask me how many trips to the store I took today before I discovered I was out of mozzarella. I’ve lost track. I figure at least 3,485. This was trip 3,486.
This is worse than having a wedding at your house. I swear it must be worse. Luckily the ordination is still 4 years away. And I am not having the party at my house, afterwards.
Breathe. In. Out. Repeat.
Oh gosh, Monk, I hear ya! I am so nervous about today’s party, too–AND IT’S NOT EVEN MINE, I’M JUST HELPING! Plus, I’m also nervous about YOUR party, too. Ya got anything else you want me to worry about? ARRRRGGGH! Your party is gonna be great. Heineken and Luigi’s. I tell ya, friend, ya just can’t go wrong. Can’t wait to hear about it and see pix. I’ll be thinking of ya!
