We're having like, 20 people over to our place tomorrow night....I'm freaking out because, while my house is really nice and put together really well for only having been in it about a month, there's still so much I want to do to it before we entertain.
I'm gonna have to get over myself and relax, and remind myself that it looks fine, no one cares if there isn't tons of wall decor to make things look complete, or that the garden isn't quite finished. Breathe......

question....why did you invite peeps over if you feel your place isnt up to your liking?

I didn't, really....long story, but Adam's cousin had two of our mutual friends fly in to visit her for the week from Ohio. She wanted to have a get-together for a bunch of people from the hall to meet them, but her parents leave for Hawaii at 5am Thursday morning and didn't want a bunch of people over the night before, and Wednesday night was the only night she could have people get together, since the other nights are meeting nights, and the friends leave Friday morning. She asked if she could use my place. It's actually ok, and I've had people over already....I just have this thing where, I know how I eventually want my home to look, but it takes time and a bit of money. I have to keep reminding myself that no one gets their home together all at once. It's part of my OCD/Anal retentiveness/Control freak issues, hahaha......I get freaked out over non-issues.

Yeah....it's really minor things, like, I wanted to do a bit of gardening, and I wanted a frame for this huge oil painting we have, so I could use some of our wall space. Other than that, like I said before, for being in this house about a month or so, it looks great. I'm just an idiot, hahaha.
