This Is a Bit Embarassing

I should really be able to do better than that, considering there are over 200 more countries out there.

I see some practicing in my future...

Martha Stewart, I'm Not

So, it's official. We're hosting W.'s office Christmas party here at Chez CoasterFamily. We have a few weeks (the party's on Dec. 13th), but this is the largest get-together we've ever hosted in our home, and I'm already starting to get nervous.

I've been scoping out holiday party planning tips online and flipping through Christmas-themed magazines in the check-out line. I think we're doing noshes instead of a full-out dinner, and having everyone bring something. So, maybe this is doable. Right? Right??

I have quite a few Christmas albums in my iTunes library, so I'm thinking I'll put together a playlist for background music. I'm also planning to make mini pumpkin-spice bread loaves to give as party favors. A fire in the fireplace is a must. And I need a holiday punch recipe - maybe some wassail? And some non-alcoholic punch for the kids. Did I mention that we'll be inviting families?

Oh, dear. What have I gotten myself into?

Not that I would, mind you. Just that I could.

Let's Just Hope CoasterGuy Gets a Better Score...

37%

Editing to add: in case you can't read the percentage there very well, I only have a 37% chance of surviving a zombie apocalypse. D'oh!

Click the image above if you want to take the quiz yourself, but be prepared to waste a lot of time at that site!

UPDATE: CoasterGuy got a 54%. But only, he says, because he's willing to shoot me in the head without hesitation if I become a zombie.

You Like Me, You Really Like Me!!

Thank you, Thank you. You're too kind! I'd like to thank the Academy...

Actually, I'd really like to thank Cori for this cool blog bling/award:

How awesome is that?

I'm going to spread the love to Kelly, Susan, Alimum, and Abby. Rock on, ladies!

There are some strings attached when accepting the award - post the logo to your blog, link to the nominator (that's me!) and then nominate up to 7 other brilliant bloggers (be sure to link to them, too!). Also, you might want to let them know they've been nominated!
