Somehow they always manage to get filled up before I can even think about using them for personal pleasure. Orthodontist appointments, doctor appointments, pharmacy pick-ups, important phone calls, and a million little errands always seem to eat up every extra minute. I don't even bother trying to plan some extravagant dinner on those bonus days because I know I won't have an extra minute to make anything time-consuming. A lot of times, I just throw something in the Crock-Pot and skip "making dinner" altogether!
Today was one of those busy days and what did I do to add even more to my plate? I invited friends over for dinner on impulse! What on earth would possess me to do such a thing?
Dinner confidence, that's what. I knew I had a winner simmering away in my Crock-Pot and all I'd have to do is serve it up and rake in the compliments. Then I was "free" to spend the rest of the evening relaxing with my besties...planning a baby shower for 60 of their closest friends!
