my husband has a DEATH WISH. xsbrownie had a friend coming over this afternoon, i left him home to receive the friend while xsteen and i were out doing errands. i came home to find out that xshub had invited the friend's family TO OUR HOUSE FOR DINNER... i have said we are antisocial, my cleaning lady did not show up on friday, and is coming monday, i had thought, oh i don't have to go to the grocery store, we can grill for dinner, i have enough stuff (for xsfamily and the kid). i have no idea what possessed this man to open his yap and issue an invitation to a dinner that he is not going to be the one to prepare without me being anywhere in the vicinity to ask.

see you later, i have to go GROCERY SHOPPING, rme!

OMG - He DEFINITELY has a death wish. We are no where near as anti-social as you guys, but coolbreeze would be a dead man if he did that to me.

I put bratwurst and sauerkraut in the crockpot a couple of hours ago - it wasn't necessary to do so because we weren't going anywhere - but coolbreeze has been trying to get all the drywall up in the attic and helping me do that kept Jax out from under his feet for awhile.

If I want that space usuable anytime soon, I'm going to be spending most of this coming week remembering how to mud and tape and finish drywall.......otherwise it will be at least this time next month before we can get someone in to do it for us.........besides, I've got better things to do with the $$$ it would cost us to pay someone to do it.

Omigod, you're kidding! You poor thing-he should be made to clean the kitchen after dinner for a month for doing something like that-I'd have him light the grill and I'd fix burgers and steaks with easy side dishes tonight to minimize the mess (and your stress). I'm sure everything will turn out great, but my sympathies are with you, just the same.

My hubby has committed such rash acts a time or two, but not since I threatened to have him hanged, drawn and quartered last year after he showed a neighbor and co-worker of his the master bath (he was remodeling and wanted ideas) while I was grocery shopping one Saturday-before leaving, I had emptied the clothes hamper onto the dressing area floor and separated the laundry into loads to carry downstairs to wash when I got home-and there it all was, right in the middle of the floor. Then he asked them to come to dinner! I was able to get out of the dinner by calling his wife, who understood my distress completely at the prospect of cooking an unplanned dinner for company when I'd just gotten back from the grocery store 20 miles away with provisions for two people only-we met them for dinner at a restaurant instead. After the riot act I read hubby for doing that, he never did it again.

You're right-it isn't like they have to got to the store to get the stuff, scurry to clean and pick up the house then cook something you are proud to serve company and clean up-and all on short notice because a husband didn't stop to think before he invited...

This is one of those rare occasions when I am so glad to be ME -- and NOT that nitwit xshub.
I'd sooner slap myself on the head with a 2X4 than pull a stunt like that. Bwaaaaaaahahahahaha.
