There are many facts of life. The earth is round. The grass is green. Sam cannot cook to save her life. So why in the world she thought that throwing a dinner party was a good idea was now beyond her comprehension. After spending most of the day cleaning up from various cooking disasters, she'd gone for the easier option and just ordered everything from local restaurants that seemed to have good reviews. Steak and mashed potatoes and grilled veggies, an assortment of various chinese food dishes, catfish and hush puppies, four pizzas including one must-have pepperoni and of course, the necessary assortment of beverages of the non-alcoholic and alcoholic variety; all were at the ready for this shindig. By some small miracle, the house was clean, the table was set, the food was warming in the oven. The kids were all upstairs in random states sleep or play, but content since their bellies were full and they had new toys to keep them amused and out of the way of the adults. And now the hostess, Sam, paced the hardwood floors anxiously awaiting the arrival of her guests. Dressed casually in skinny jeans, knee high boots and a tunic length striped sweater, she picked at her nails and chewed at her lip, anything to avoid going out for a smoke. Damnit, people better show up or else she might just eat all of this food herself.
