Surprise - you're hosting a watch party!

It's almost game time.  So what do you do if your husband just surprised you with the news that he's invited friends over to your house to watch the game?  Keep it simple and easy. Call ahead and order takeout (I like chicken nugget platters from Chick-Fil-A or bulk barbeque from Whole Hog). Send your husband to pick that up, along with a few cases of beer and some kind of easy dessert (ice cream with brownie bites and caramel sauce is fun and festive). In the meantime, speed clean the house.  Focus on the bathroom, the kitchen, and the living room floor (where people will likely be sitting to watch the game).  Throw on a red dress, have a beer, and enjoy yourself.*


*And sweetly explain to your hubby that the next time he forgets to tell you that he's invited people over, you're going shopping for the day and he's on his own to host the crowd.
