"Whenever a friend calls up to stay she&amp;amp;#8217;ll be in town for a few days, I always get excited. And then I get nervous. I&amp;amp;#8217;m thrilled to see my friend, of course, but I always fret about showing her around the city. I worry that she&amp;amp;#8217;ll think I&amp;amp;#8217;ve scheduled too much (or not enough) to do, or that my planned activities are boring. When I really think about it though, my concerns seem so odd. After all, when I stay with a friend I&amp;amp;#8217;m too busy enjoying myself to grumble over her hosting savvy. And a friend has never indicated to me that I&amp;amp;#8217;m a poor host. At least not to my face! I have a few out of towners visiting tonight. We&amp;amp;#8217;re just going out to dinner so I&amp;amp;#8217;m not nearly as stressed as I normally am. I plan on taking them to my favorite neighborhood restaurant and I can&amp;amp;#8217;t help but worry they won&amp;amp;#8217;t like it. Sigh. Do you ever freak out when you have people visiting? Does it depend on who is stopping by? When you play hostess, do you plan specific activities or play it by ear? Which do you prefer when you&amp;amp;#8217;re the one visiting? Looking for ideas for entertaining? * Why not have a taco party? Sounds yummy! * Do you and your guy host parties together? * Have a tasty (and healthy!) dinner party.
