00:00Y'all, I am back with another hot take that might ruffle some feathers, so if you don't like getting your feathers ruffled, you know what to do.
00:06Now for everyone left that I have your attention, I just gotta come right out and say it, I don't host potlucks.
00:11By all means, invite me to your potluck. I will come with a covered dish and bells on.
00:16But in my house, I'm not having a potluck, and here's why.
00:19Like many other only children and older sisters of the world, I'm very type A.
00:23Whenever I am hosting a party, I like to think that I have everything under my control, right down to when it comes to planning the perfect menu.
00:34When I don't know what someone is going to show up with at my house, and then I have to be prepared at a moment's notice to provide a serving utensil, whatever the case may be,
00:42this sense of unknown probably stresses me out more than if I were to just go ahead and make everything myself.
00:48I know I need to loosen my reins and probably attempt to throw a potluck.
00:52Honestly, as the host, it's a lot more easier and a lot less pressure.
00:56You're either in charge of one dish, or if you don't even want to do that, all you have to do is get some cream cheese, pepper jelly, and some club crackers, have those out and ready to go.
01:04But the menu, that is taken care of.
01:06I want to make it a goal to throw a potluck by the end of the year.
01:09It's going to cause me a lot of anxiety, but I feel like it's going to be fun.
01:13If you, too, don't like to lose control when you're hosting a party, maybe you should try a potluck, because cream cheese, pepper jelly, and crackers is sounding really good to me.
