Alliterations

Who hasn't heard the alliteration of Peter Piper?

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Well I am not so clever to actually make up anything that sounds nearly as cool is that. However, I did have a little fun with my own today.

It all started a couple of weeks ago when Sean invited some of his work mates over for a BBQ. Well for those of you who have never been to a BBQ at my house, let me tell you, that is no small feat. Especially when Sean does the inviting! That is one of the things I love about Sean. He says the more the merrier and just keeps inviting. The problem arises when he forgets who he invited and who is actually coming. hahahahaha

To make a long story short I was getting little bits and pieces of details here and there. At first it seemed like a nice intimate get-together with just a few couples. I thought us and two other couples would be perfect. Then we can all sit on the patio around the table and have a pleasant conversation after dinner while the sun was setting.

As the days went by I begun to realize he invited several more people. I continued to get bits and pieces here and there but nothing to indicate many more guests. Today at work (Friday), I decided to send a quick email to the people I knew Sean had invited to remind them of the time of arrival and directions to our house. That is another thing I love about Sean. He tends to forget what time things start and just makes up a new time.

In my email I told them that my information from Sean has been sketchy so I wanted to confirm who was coming and the time. Sean replied with

"I don't know what she's talking about"

and then everyone started replying with laughs and giggles because we all know how Sean is with information. Then one person replied asking if sketchy Sean was grilling because that is why they want to come to the BBQ. They want to see him grill! I replied with a "yes" and addressed it....

Sketchy Sean's Wife Specific Stacey

For anyone who knows me I am about as organized and specific as they come. It is a blessing and a curse. I believe one of my spiritual gifts is administration. I believe this is one of the reason's God intended me to be Sean's helpmate. =)

Well it is very late because I have been prepping all the food for tomorrow. I like to relax prior to guests arriving so that I may enjoy their company. If I prep most of the food the night before I can be less anxious about getting it done timely.

Are you wondering how many people Sean invited and are coming? I think we are having 14 guests. That is correct. I said I think. When I got home from work tonight Sean said,

"Oh, by the way, I think BK is coming as well."

See, there could be more show up that he just forgot to tell me about. That is ok though. I love entertaining and I am so blessed when I watch Sean having a fun time!!

I wish that you could all come to my BBQ. Maybe one day. Miss you all!
