a garden party.....

So what to do when you can't type the day away on your computer? Why throw a party of course! Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? And that's exactly what I did for the last few days. My distinguished guests included: Mr. Pine Sol, Ms. Windex, Lord Furniture Polish, Lady Bathroom Scrubber, Master Toilet Bowl Cleaner, and Mr. & Ms. Vacuum. We had a hell of a time!

We partied the days away in absolute bliss hitting every room in our path. It was a non-stop fest that had no boundaries, except when I ran out of food. Leaving my guests behind for a few hours, a trip to the local grocery store (my favorite kind of shopping) yielded new goodies to store in the cupboards. There was even time to bake a few banana chocolate chip breads in the few moments of down time. Lucky for me, the guests were pooped and needed a few snooze moments for themselves, otherwise the breads would have sat as batter in my refrigerator.
Nothing was too sacred or off limits in our attempt to boogie down.... except for the discovery of the Dustbunnies that tried to crash the party. They were promptly sucked out by the vacuums. Those trouble-making-partying Dustbunnies.... will they never learn??

I generally throw this party in early Spring... around April or so, but was late with the invitations. No matter, it worked out best for everyone to come in late June anyway. Ms. Windex brought a guest with her, a Prince Paper Towel.... and what a handsome man he was! So debonair in his all-white suit, only to have the Dustbunnies ruin it on their way out. It was such a shame.... we literally had to throw it away.

In all, the party lasted 3 days.... we just couldn't seem to part after Tuesday, and all guests decided to stay one more day. What the heck..... I only see them all together like that once a month. I see them all the time individually, as we set little play-dates with one another.... but all together is a rarity these days. Needless to say, I was glad to have a little more time with them. They were all great and wonderful guests, and they even left the house cleaner then when they first arrived.... the best guest of all!

So now all caught up, computer restored, and printer running, it's time to stick to the appointment I made with Mr. Catering Office.... and perhaps get in a nice nap in later since the phones aren't ringing anyway.... ZZZZZZZZZZZ
