Everyone has their obsessive thing. Some people are obsessed over keeping a clean house, while others are always up in arms about how clean their cars are **cough*husband*cough drives me nutty*, cough. ** It is just in our human nature to have at least one thing we kind of ,"Obsess" over. Well, I am one of you guys. I am also an obsessed American. I may have more than a couple.. or a few.. or you know.. I probably need medicated over mine. But, I deal with them in my own way.. and then I drive everyone else crazy over them :) So, I bet you are really like dying to know what they are.. Ehh..I'll reveal my oddities over time.. but today.. I will talk about the one that all of my friends and family know of. This is the one that effects them the most (not the one about me not sleeping under the covers: yeah I will tell you that one another day) but the one that is very evident in group functions. Party planning.
So, I am a party planner. Wow. That feels so great to get off my chest. I plan parties to the T. Scratching your head? Wondering why that is a problem.. we all plan parties Sarah... if we didn't.. would there be a party? Well folks. I have party binders. I have food planners. I may or may not, have timelines for each task that needs completed. I may start planning these parties before anyone can even care about having a party. This is a sickness. I am seeing a specialist. His initials are OCD.. and he is busy flipping the light switch, or I would get an eye witness account.
**(PS. I am in no way poking fun or trying to offend anyone with any kind of disorder.. This is for entertainment purposes.. and onlyto make fun of myself. Love ya, kid. )**
I truly just love having the most perfect events. This was post was initially inspired by the fact that the Super Bowl is coming up.. and that my friends.. is like my very own Super Bowl. I have themed food and drinks.. and go all out with my football décor. I don't really know why I care so much.. but gosh all mighty.. I do.
I've kind of always had this in my wheel house.. Planning my own birthdays, (pathetic right.. well, they were perfect. :) ) having big shindigs for my Barbies (man they had the best fake weddings) and of course.. in college... Those going away and welcome back parties were always on point. It is a gift.. and probably one I got at a party.. see what I did there. Lol. ;)
My friends somehow always get wrapped into my disasters. They get frustrated, get bossed around until the point of breaking, and usually give up or defriend me on Facebook before the event begins. I have determined I am a one woman show. Husband really tries sometimes.. he got kicked to the curb after a "make these pigs in a blanket into spiders" incident. They were not spiders, and they were not good enough for my Halloween party. He survived.. and the spiders were canned. Sorry guys, you lose.
To sum up.. no I will not plan your party. You' will want to have my killed by an assassin. Yes, I will allow you to make fun of my binders for every planned event (yes even Thanksgiving, pal. ) I also would like to say. I am not the only one out there. I know there is someone reading this with their hands in the air thanking the good Lord for a person just like them. Find me on Facebook girrrrll. Until next time America. Party hard, and then put it in your binder.
Bossy is right. Baste turkey at 1, stir potatoes at 2, set table at 2:45, poke cake at 3, baste turkey at 3:15, diaper baby at 3:20, candy yams at 3:30....but it was perfect. If left to me, we'd have a turkey in a bag, bob Evans mashed potatoes, and cheese pizza on the side for thanksgiving. Lol. Love You and your themed binders, intact with pictures on the front with turkeys 🦃
