Sometimes I think the Lounge IS my only social life

[Whoa_Nelly]

Am going to go out and rake leaves.

Will check back here to see which friends have dropped in for the party

Meanwhile, help yourselves to the wine, Kahlua, Bailey's, and brandy. There's pelnty of ice in the freezer and a big bottle of Stoli's! Oh, and there's chips and dip making's in pantry and fridge...

Mix it up people! Mingle!

[Redstone]

1. I'll make a frozen somethingorother for you to drink when you're done with the leaves.

And keep the others from getting their grubby hands on it before you come in.

Redstone

[InternalDialogue]

3. So far it's a pretty small affair, Redstone.

Mix me up one of them too, if you don't mind.

I'll warm some of the couch cushions.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Glad to see you here, ID!

If you need to put your feet up, there are cushy comfy recliners, too....just ask Ptah and Peggy!

[InternalDialogue]

13. Um, were those soaps in the bathroom just decorative?

I, uh, nevermind.

A recliner sounds nice.

By the way, where do you get soaps like that? Just wondering.

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. OMG! That was the minature wax Christmas fruit!

Was it tasty?

[InternalDialogue]

31. Meh.

I've had better soap.

[Whoa_Nelly]

37. Well, certainly hope you enjoyed using the zircon encrusted Xmas handtowels to dry off

With Zappa appliqued on doin' his best Christmas tree

I put them out just for you!

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. Am back!

Serve it up, my sweet! mmmmmmmm....

[InternalDialogue]

2. Thank you! Don't mind if I do.

I'll have to introduce myself around -- the Lounge only became my primary social life over the past couple weeks.

[fizzgig]

4. i'll get started on the dip

and maybe a few more munchies so you have something to eat when you get back in and i think i'll help myself to a white russian, that sounds tasty tonight

eta: thanks for the invite, it's been a while since i've been to a party

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. Oh goody!!

Jumpin' for joy!!

Am glad you're makin' a white Russian...sounds marvy!

[cwydro]

5. Can I jump in the pile when you're done?

Damn I miss those days...in the meantime I will make a drink...

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. It was A LOT of leaves!

Two trees have finally dropped most of their leaves....green can is all the way full!
(plus, felt guilty when I saw next door neighbor had raked my leaves from his part of the year...on edit: yard! Redtone's special drink is gettin' me looped! .... )

It WAS a lot of leaves! Come on over! I;ll dump out the lot and we can play!

[cwydro]

35. OMG

I love the little jump in leaves smilie. Ok...let me finish making my drink and I'll be right over. You know, it has been more than 30 years, but I still remember the smell of a leaf pile when you jump in...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Oooh, thanks for the invite, my dear Whoa_Nelly!

I must say, you give one hell of a kick-ass party!

Can't wait to have you here for mine!

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. Woo Hoo!!!! Peggy Party!

I'll be there!


Now, how about a REAL glass of Chardonnay? No more of those silly little get'em drunk fast plastic glasses here tonight!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Now THAT sounds like a plan!

That way I don't have to wonder how much I've had!

Or how much more I need to become delightfully and crazily witty!

[graywarrior]

9. Boy, do I hear you on that!

[Whoa_Nelly]

17. THE One and Only graywarrior!!

So glad you're here! Come sit up at the kitchen bar and chat a bit! Tell me how to find a man and all that....

[graywarrior]

19. Holy crap...I am not man finding expert, believe me.

However, I am good at finding great people like yourself here at DU.

Ok, let's party.

I'm thinking of you and wishing you and yours all the best this holiday season. I'm sure you're gonna have tons o' fun with those adorable grandbabies.

I've been pretty busy on my end and have only been poppin' into the lounge occasionally these past few weeks, but I wanted to make sure and say hi to YOU, my sweet friend.

xoxoxoxo!!! I'm so glad we got to meet this year. Look forward to your visit in 2007.

Hey, did you already have your big girls' weekend in New Mexico?? Hope you had a blast if you did. If I know you, you probably painted the town red.

[Whoa_Nelly]

120. Shine! Babycakes!

So endearingly awesome to see you!!!!

So glad to hear you're busy with what sounds like all good stuff


Am wrapping gifts. Kids are great. and yes, went to Santa Fe two weeks ago, and then the lovely honeymooners stopped by for 2 days on their way to home in WA.

It was all fun! And, did tons of shopping, personal and Xmas.


Yay, Shine!
