The Night Fast approaches. A to do list.


blue hill( if anyone recognizes this photo let me know. I lost the create somewhere and i like to give credit where credit is due)

As tomorrow's costume party fast approaches and I being its hostess my list of to do things is rather large.
1. I must make up my damn mind what my costume will be. The options are A) scary fairy although the wings are rather large and may cause trouble and someone may lose an eye. B) Wednesday Adams but this will entail some sewing and the purchase of a wig. C) French girl (black and white checked skirt and black beret) This will allow for the chain smoking of Gauloise, the drinking of much wine and the use of a truly horrid French accent with which to annoy my friends. I’m leaning towards C because of the smoking and the accent will be fun.
2. Most prepare the black punch of death. A lethal concoction of white grape juice, vodka, black food coloring and gummy creatures. I believe once this punch is mixed it becomes a portal to the other world from which demons of sin and misdeeds appear.
3. Move the big tv into the garage for the smokers and have horror movies playing constantly. Because the Shining makes for beautiful background.
4. Decorate said garage with cobwebs and creepy bouquets of flowers, thankfully my local florist makes died black flower arrangements.
5. Create a crime scene on the driveway. So everyone will know which house is mine. Nothing says welcome like crime scene tape and a chalk body outline.
6. Start cooking the food. So my guest will have something to ward off the evils of the punch.
7. Oh yes….I must clean the house. My house would be anawful mess if not for these parties. I really should just start sending out invitations that state. I need to clean my house so come over and drink so I’m motivated lest I embarrass myself.

I am sure there are more things to do but I can't think of them now and will be running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get everything done. Hum...maybe that should be my costume.

Monnie,
As you know the party was fab, even though you were a frazzled hostess. What a THRILL to be the token gay guy there! You were the PERFECT French chick, a great hostess, but the crowd was WAY too Coors Light. Next time drop the savory pies and serve delicious pigs in blankets! And have a ton of beer on hand, because that's all the crowd wanted. It IS Bellingham, for chrissake. Couth is not an option.
It was a great party, I had fun, and again, you are a mah-velous hostess! I fell into a coma afterward.
Swellegant, elegant party it is!
Kisses,
Craig
