Recipe For a Great Party

From what I've heard, everyone had a fabulous time last night. So fabulous, in fact, that the evening didn't end until 3 am. A few observations:

1. Planning is everything.
   
2. So is teamwork. H was such a great help.
   
3. Don't panic when you see the enormous mess the next morning. That's why God made dishwashers.
   
4. Prepare everything that you can ahead of time.
   
5. Use a crock pot.
   
6. Things break. But, things are also replaceable. What's the point of having it if you don't use it?

It really makes me want to start planning the next one.
