Post - Party Jitters

lavender and champagne from julianne

ok, let me just say up front that it was a an absolutely gorgeous day with lovely, gracious friends who really seemed to love the little studio and i’m pretty sure everyone had a good time.  in spite of the fact that this was still happening on friday….

1:30 on saturday (done!)….

3:30 on saturday (yes, the trash pile has yet to disappear in spite of promises to the contrary)….

my rationale mind knows that that is all true, so why can’t i just stop there and leave it at that??  i don’t really know, but i can’t.  here’s how it goes.  i’m awake about 2am after the party….

i wonder if ___  had a good time

i wish i would have talked more to ____

i forgot to ask ____ about ____

i wish i would have put out the rest of those snacks

darn – i wish i would have taken more pictures

seriously, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME????

lively converstions

good food and drink

soraya, julianne and viki

group discussion on the deck (2 guys braved this group of women!)

while i’m spilling all of this on the table i’m going to admit that this sort of thing happens to me even when i’m attending someone else’s party, but more so when it’s my own.  you see, then i am responsible for everyone’s happiness.  aren’t i??  writing this out is helping me see how ridiculous my insecurities are, but i’m still hoping maybe there is someone out there that can relate to it.  that would help me feel better.  and reading soraya’s version of things REALLY helped me feel better.  thanks, my sweet friend.

sweet gift from jane
