Friday!
Ah, the weekend is here! Since my birthday was this week, we’re having a little party tomorrow. I’m a little nervous about it; I’m not a natural hostess. A chocolate cake-like thing is currently in the oven, and the house is approaching clean. We have plenty of food (I hope), and the weather, while not supposed to be wonderfully bright and sunny, should be good enough to grill tomorrow. Still, I worry about social dynamics at parties I host. Will there be enough people that they’ll break up into smaller groups and entertain themselves? Or will we all end up sitting in a circle staring at each other wondering what we should be doing? Will people enjoy themselves? Generally things work out, but the tendency to worry does run in my family (eh, Liz?), and I’m not immune to that.
Anyway. Lots to do before then. So, for now, I leave you with my photo of the day.

I went outside to see why the dog was barking, and the clouds were absolutely gorgeous. Backlit by the moon, with a cool bluish-gray tint. Run to get the camera, and by the time I get back, the clouds have moved to let the moon shine through, which while still worthy of a photo, wasn’t nearly as cool as the moment I missed. Ah well.
Who me? Nah, I don’t worry about anything!
