Housewarming Party--The Timeline

I've spent a good portion of my evenings this week planning the details of how the Saturday Housewarming Party is going to go down. The guest list, a plan to get all the shopping done in three hours, and most importantly, the timeline.

If you ever cook for a large number of people, or plan to create a large project on a deadline, a timeline is absolutely imperative. I worked backwards from my service time to figure out when I'd need to start everything, and how much time I'll need. One word: wow.
