Hi, B.

I'm sorry for not responding today - I just got home from having left the house at noon. I'm exhausted and not at all looking forward to my party tomorrow night; there's still so much to do. We have two out sick for Friday Treats tomorrow too, so I have to go in early. I was really counting on only being there my standard two hours, but I hate to leave them hanging. I'm sure first thing in the morning when I'm rushing down to school, latte in hand, wearing my new Cookie Lee earrings, (I hate CL, but I had to buy something) I'll start to get jazzed for our girl's night out, but right now, I'd give anything to call everyone and cancel. (Speaking of which, I bet I never mentioned that I'm having a Silpada cocktail party tomorrow night; I'm expecting about 20 people for drinks and apps and jewelry, even though my friend R did the CL thing tonight.)

I still have the vacuuming and dusting (because I have to dust three times a week, pretty much) and the bathroom to clean, and those stupid freakin' risotto cakes that I'm about ready to give up on. I did get my hummus (your hummus) made tonight though, so that's one little, tiny thing out of the way. We (Shawn and I) are serving hummus with pita, an olive/cheese salad she makes, risotto cakes, baked brie w/crackers and Kim's bringing a huge fruit plate. K's making little valentine's cookies for dessert, because she's all artsy like that. Just putting out the red and white versions of my cheap-ass Walmart wine and some Pellegrino, although I was treated to a wonderful new wine tonight that I can't wait to get hold of and share with the girls. Don't have time to go to TJ's tomorrow, though, and that's the only place to get it.

I could sit and write but my heart's not in it, other than to say I'm sorry you and W are going through this rough patch. Believe me, I really do know how you feel. And it sucks. For both of you.

I doubt I will get here tomorrow but I will catch up Saturday for sure. We're booked straight through Saturday from 8:30 to 3:00 running from baseball tryouts to the science fair to baseball camp. Maybe I'll breathe Saturday evening...

Hope you have a great Friday. I am insanely jealous of your night out to dinner, by the way.
Love,
A
