last night was my tropical party. i told the guests to come starting around 8pm. at 6, fred and i went to grocery stores and liquor stores stocking up on rum, vodka, juice, and fruit. we came home at 7pm and started cleaning and prepping some of the food. at half past 8, fred left to get a friend from the airport. i stayed at home getting everything else ready.
an hour later, i had myself a drink and was listening to loud david byrne music. i played with my cat, bunk. he was my only party guest and he wasn't even human. . . still, i'd promised myself a grand time. i dipped veggies and ate chips and salsa. i enjoyed my drink and my company.
a little while later, fred came back to the house with jessie. by 10pm some folks came over. my friends showed up around 11 or so. we had so much fun. i was so happy to see each person when they walked in the door. we talked and drank till 2. we even set off firecrackers and sparklers (because it isn't really a party unless something explodes). we ran out of beer, rum, and vodka. we ran out of guacamole, dip, and veggies. we still have some juice left. fun times....
Hi Jen! So sorry Ben and I couldn't make it. We really wanted to go, but his parents were in town and it was their last night here. Next time we're totally there! Glad to hear everyone had a great time!
