Here’s an idea: turn an ordinary dinner into a lasagna-fest! Serve white chocolate lasagna, Italian lasagna, and/or Mexican lasagna. Maybe decorate too! It’ll be fun. Unless you are me last Sunday. I threw the lasagna-fest, but everyone was tired, sick, and demoralized. It should have been called “the-DMV-would-be-more-fun-than-this lasagna party”. Haha! Sometimes you have to cut your losses and reset. I gave myself an inspirational speech… “I will not give up on parties. I will try again. I will not go down without a fight. I will not go quietly into the night. I will live on. I am going to survive.” Hmm I think there at the end that might have turned into President Whitmore’s speech from Independence Day….. I use that speech a lot in life. You can too. It helps when things go south and you want to cry. Or give up. Or stop throwing parties….
