I think I'm starting to get a bit anxious. I've woke up at about 3:30AM the last few nights. Last night I woke up with a dream that my divasdishes.com had expired and that you had to get a special letter from some random company to get it back.... what? Where the hell did that come from? Of course I went online to the company that holds all of dot com's and hosting and could not get in. Oh well.

End of the day Monday toooo pooped to finish! |

Terry's cigar, cocktail and drill bit. |

I'm a bit behind of where I wanted to be today. I was to have all of my planting cleaning etc. done outside by the end of the day Monday.
Tuesday morning I went back to the nursery and got another truck load of plants.
I almost got all the plants in. After 7 hrs of schlepping and digging, cleaning the patio's and trimming, I was done.
I still have a few flowers I need to get into pots this morning and some to still plant out front....

All my working sure made the girls tired! |

Was going to add some flowers to this pot but it broke in half when I picked it up. |
I didn't rehearse yesterday either! I know I will do fine on Saturday but my voice is still very tight for some reason.. It is not flowing like it should. It's a bit frustrating but I have to just tell myself to relax and breath... your breath, remembering to breath, and controlling your breath is about the most important thing when you sing. I have so many things on my mind, it is so hard to let go and I'm getting a bit frustrated. I just have to keep reminding myself, Terry and I always pull off whatever we set out to do. My voice has never let me down (except when I got nodes thanks to major allergies), so just stay positive and focused.
OK, I need to finish my planting and get in the studio.
Then today I settle on my menu. My main concern is dessert, it always is for me. The difficulty I am having is I am going be performing and getting ready to perform at dessert time. Oh, and we have Vegans! They are so hard to prepare desserts for. I am really thinking frozen grapes along with other fruit and maybe some cheeses.
I also need to get some order in the kitchen and house and I believe I will start on sauces today and get my olive marinating and toast and spice my almonds.
And... I have got to get my nails done!
Terry just informed me yesterday that it is suppose to be in the 100's on Saturday. We've had a fairly cool summer until the day of My Open House! Oh well, this is why we set starting time at 6:30PM. We'll just have to try to get as much set up & done in the early hours. Well, I will. Terry won't be up early.
Wish me luck because we are just a few days from D Day!!!! I'm not sure how much I'm going to post between now and then. I'll try to keep you updated.
