history: I'm having a party this weekend, I went out and got the food ahead of time. I'm having a party this weekend and I already got my grocery shopping done for it! I refuse to be last minute like last time. I have a friend who plans ahead like that.  I'm a last minute gal.  I think you will be less stressed by planning ahead.
current: I will be and be able to enjoy myself more in the days leading up to the party.
next: Not to mention enjoy the actual party, too!  Are you celebrating anything in particular?
