Happiness

Is having a calm day. Emily and I got along splendidly today. Neither of us irritated the other, and that's pretty big news around here. I am getting really excited about the InaugYouRock party. After talking to G on the phone today I realized that I'm super excited about throwing a party. Sure it's on a Tuesday night, and I don't really expect a million people to show up. You don't need a million people to have a good party. A few people with a good attitude, some good food, and a common interest is really all you need for a good party. Booze doesn't hurt either. Well, sometimes it does, but there won't be enough booze for that to happen. Milk punch and hot toddies will be the drinks of the day. Comfort foods, it's all about the comfort foods. Sooo, Mashers, Pot Roast, cheese, crackers and apples and Colten's supersized junk food cakes. That should do it for the menu. My head is swimming with party prep thoughts. If I can pull this off, I'm going to pat myself on the back. Marshall has also asked me to help organize the belated office holiday party. He's thinking Potluck. I frikkin LOVE potluck parties. I figure if we just make a cool table presentation and I can make a cupcake tower, everything else will fall into place. Well that and I make a sign up sheet and stuff. I'll worry about it after InaugYouRock.
I love parties!
