For years I was a totally freak before guests arrived. My husband informed me that we would no longer have anyone over until I could pull myself together. It was a long time without guests in our home. I learned some things to help me and now it's all a lot more fun! I am usually happy to see them! For years I was a totally freak before guests arrived.

I know this is the beginning of a fun time, but I'm also nervous, wanting it to go well and kind of afraid it will end too soon. :) When I hear the doorbell, hearkening guests, I always feel excited and nervous.

They are, after all, the reason I'm entertaining. <br /><br />I love all things Pampered Chef, and I especially miss my garlic press. I had it for about five years when I put in too large a clove of garlic and broke the handle. And while my PC chopper has filled in well, it's just not the same!!! Thanks Sandy!

If the food is a flop or my house is a mess it really doesn't matter. The love we all share is never a flop or a mess and that is what matters.

Back door guests are the best, you know. I always open the door and tell everyone how happy I am that they are here. I put on my very best smile and let everything else go. They don't want or need to know how bad the day was or what didn't get done. They just need to know you are happy they are here. Most of my guests come thru the back door.

Except for the time that my husband came home early from work (which he NEVER does) on the day we had a surprise 40th birthday party planned for him. How did I handle it? Well, after I got over the shock of seeing him standing in the doorway, I made HIM answer the door when the guests arrived by throwing open the door and yelling, "Surprise!" at the shocked guests. Oh, well... everyone had a good laugh over it! I’m always excited to see my guests at the door no matter what the day has been like.
