So I like to act cool when people come over, and I say to them, "Whatever, if you make it, great, if you don't, that's fine, too." I like to put "regrets only" on my invitations. I hate people who pressure their guests for a difinitave answer within a certain time frame, like "Rsvp by Feb. 2"
Then, inevitably, I don't know who's coming to the party - and I worry constantly that no one will come - or, I end up waiting, as I am now, in a once-in-a-lifetime-clean house and wondering if this chick is going to show up.
Let me clarify - this place is clean, it smells good, jazz is on low from some room in the back - baby sleeping, I ate all bran for lunch - I don't, technically, want to ruin it with anyone's company. What I do wish, though, is to know if I could relax into the afternoon or not, or if I have to sit here and dread someone's impending arrival.
Yeah, and this is a woman I really, genuinely like.
