How do you throw a suprise dinner for your mom at your house when she's in from out of town and staying with you? Answer: VERY QUICKLY.
My mom was home from Key West for her Birthday so I decided to gather her best friends and give her a dinner. So the day of her birthday, we did some shopping and I was trying to get her to take a nap since she was exhausted. It was a hour and twenty minutes before her friends would be their and NOTHING was done. Finally, I told her that I was making her present and she had to stay upstairs. So she took a shower and climed into bed for a nap. So, by this time I had 40 minutes to completely decorate and get ready. I then put her Birthday Dinner invitation in a frame and wrapped it up. Once I was done decorating, I called her down and gave her the gift. She thought I was just making the two of us dinner. I said nope...go get ready cause your best friends will be here in 20 minutes. Anyway it was successful except for the broccoli. (nightmare) I did tell them though... I was only responsible for presentation not quality! lol.
