Summer cocktail party

Tomorrow I'm hosting a small party for a group of my girlfriends. I used to be known for my strawberry daiquiris, so that will be the main alcoholic beverage. I do plan to make a large pitcher of white wine sangria as well, and I have the makings of several other drinks; Tom Collins, G&T, Cuba Libre, and there will be plain wine too. Also iced tea and sodas for non - alcoholic refreshment.

I've been working myself into a frenzy the past few days getting ready. Cleaning, shopping, and food prep have kept me busy. There are only five people coming; three are workmates who have never been to my house, two are old friends who have been over several times. I'm always nervous hosting these little get-togethers, especially when they involve new friends. I could (and probably should) have invited a few more people, but I felt overwhelmed enough with just the five. I love my little parties, but they always involve a lot of work and stress beforehand.

Being a social butterfly doesn't come easily to me!

Well, off to finish some more cleaning and prep before heading to work this afternoon. I'll post pre-party photos tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone!
