"she kept getting up from the table to check on the next course, rearrange things and fetch this and that. We couldn’t have a good conversation" Great observation Marie. It's funny when you have someone so overly concerned about the logistics of an event, rather than the people. They don't even get a chance to enjoy themselves, and like you said, you don't get a chance to enjoy them. I'm with you on this. I prefer the person :-)
