gettin' her done!
Greetings friends. Tonight our house held our first true dinner party. In this small way, we have become part of the adult world. We invited our (intoxicatingly) witty neighbor, and a cheerful coworker of Hope and her husband. The table was set with yellow napkins, a fall bouquet, and pumpkin candles. Hope cooked a "lot of cod" with pineapple and onions, green beans, and Hope's friend Jaime (a baker by trade) provided the quadruple berry pie (in a deep dish pan) and Smoking Loon wine (not Smoking Nude wine, as I first thought). During three hours of continuous laughing (partially due to the social lubrication brought on by three bottles of wine), we covered subjects such as Jaime's conservative Christian mother, who was finally able to do things her way after the children left and dressed as a mentally retarded fat child and went trick or treating, to transvestites in India, to Chinatown experiences of toileting while holding an umbrella. I feel full and satisfied on a variety of levels. Due to poor planning on the part of my roommates, I was forced to do dishes - and a blooming lot of them there were, too.
Laura went to a bar to watch the Cardinals game, and later (after turning down several drink offers by the resident elderly bar crowd) returned home, discouraged and disgruntled. She retired to her bedroom as soon as she heard that her team was out of the runnings, and, as Linnea speculates, will probably never emerge until Spring Training 2006. We understand, friend. No, wait a minute, we don't.
