Feeling excitement because new friends, met in our ASL classes last fall, are coming over to play ASL Scrabble with us.

Also, nervousness because it's their first time coming over and we don't entertain often. Too hard to keep the house up with my arthritis and our dog has issues with strangers (a rescue from the SPCA). She is great with us, we're her "pack leaders," but strangers scare her and so we don't allow her free rein; she requires strong supervision. So I worry about that, first impressions, etc.
