party redo

20111217-152041.jpg

I’m semi-seriously taking a picture of this bouquet, just in case the Elderly Relative gets frisky and throws them out, as he has done before. Actually, he’d have to act fast, they’re destined for a party that I’m attending this evening. A party I had to miss last year due to a hard-driving rain and the horrifying phenomenon of it raining inside my car, making for extreme and unpleasant conditions inside the Fig on that night and many nights to come. When the weather got warm, and the car interior was still wet, the only way I could describe the stench was “swamp full of bodies.” god bless us every one!

This year is already better. I’m in the company of a beau who is a superfun champ in the holiday-enjoyment arena; last night, he and his mom and I walked around one of those streets where every house is completely, ridiculously festooned with lights. I also have sparkly festive wear to wear. And we’re getting a ride to the party in a car that doesn’t rain on the inside (I asked).

Of course, any number of things could pre-empt our attendance of this party re-do, but that stats are favorable.
