Even though I haven’t had a chance to grab any sleep yet (yes it really is 7:05am), I’ve got so much to do today before I have a chance to nap. A friend of ours from the bike shop is coming over this evening to help Hubby sync the carbs. While they were talking about it yesterday his wife mentioned that she’d like to come, too, and that’s when Hubby opened his big mouth.

He thought it would be a great idea if I cooked dinner and we all had a fun evening of hanging out and working on the bike. Just great. Now I have to cook, clean the house spotless (dude’s wife is a neat freak, I am not), and figure out what I’m going to do with the dog tonight while they’re here. I can put him in our bedroom because our weird house has 1 bathroom which is accessed only through our bedroom. I can’t put him in the guest room because the bike’s in there. Dude’s wife is terrified of dogs, even my sweet innocent but will lick you to death bulldog.

At least she said she’ll bring the wine and dessert. The dessert I’ll go for (especially if it’s cheesecake), but Hubby never drinks wine, and I hardly ever do. The stuff gives me a headache, but every time we go to this woman’s house she pulls out a bottle of wine. I seriously wonder if she has one of those wine of the month memberships. I might pick up some beer for the boys, but do they really need to be drinking when they’re doing something as important and delicate as syncing the carbs?

Yes I just used delicate and a bike part in the same sentence.

At least dinner will be easy. When pressed for time pull out the crock pot and make a roast. Luckily I made roasts so often in this house (hey it’s the best thing I make) I almost always have one in the freezer, and right now I do. I’m going to throw my roast in the crock pot and scrub the house as much as I can before I lose what little energy I have left and pass out. If I don’t get everything as spotless as little miss neat freak would like, I’ll just smear some grease around and blame it on the bike parts scattered across my living room right now.
