How many days to get ready for a graduation party?

As many as I can possibly finagle, honestly!
That's my reasoning behind leaving at noon today.  Yes, it's Thursday. Yes, graduation is on Sunday.
You do the math...that's surely enough time to do everything I need to do...you know, excavate the yard, do all the gardening I've wanted to do for the last decade, apply fresh coats to paint to anything remotely dingy, par-cook enough chicken to feed forty or so friends and family...oh, and maybe there will even be time for a cleanse!  I'd love to drop 10 pounds by Sunday...what are the odds of that happening?

Realistically, this is how I think the next few days will be spent:

Trip to New Hampshire to purchase mass quantities of booze.
Friday - Saturday:  Drink mass quantities of booze purchased on Thursday in New Hampshire.
Sunday:  Run around willy-nilly and slightly hung over trying to make deviled eggs and hope nobody will notice that I may not have gotten around to scrubbing baseboards in my bathrooms.

YAY!
