After work on Friday, I had two functions to go to. A vendor party at a printers and a birthday party. Naturally after a long week at work I was tired an promised myself I would only stay a half hour at the work function and then go home. Why is it when you are going to a party you don't want to be at you end up being there longer than you had planned. My 1/2 hour turned into 3 hours. If I hadn't turned to a girl on my left and said "You look familar do I now you/" I would have been home before 8pm. But instead I asked the question and was out till past midnight. The girl turned to me and said "No, I don't think so." That turned into some small chat and an introduction to her friend. We somehow got on the topic of moving and the previous person's mail. The girl confided that she had gotten the most beautiful wedding invitation in the mail but that it wasn't addressed to her it didn't take a genius to figure out that she had committed mail fraud and had opened the invite. She went on to say that she didn't stop there. She ended up googling the couple and the upscale town outside of New York. I couldn't help to be taken in by the couple and encouraged the two girls to crash the wedding. After all if they could afford to send out customized invitations on expensive die-cut paper than they must be rich and inviting hundreds of people. No one would notice two wedding crashers. I spent the next two hours chatting it with this girl and her two friends. When it came time for the raffle the 4 of us girls won! Can you believe that in a room of 100 people all 4 of us won. We couldn't believe our lucky so we decided to each buy lottery tickets. 9pm came rolling around and I told the girls I needed to go to another party. I had had so much fun talking to them that I asked them to come along and they did. I never got on so weel with strangers before much less three girls. They met me at Formosa Cafe and we partied there for several hours. For an evening that was supposed to be a quick stop, it sure turned into a long one and a fun one. I love having those kinds of days when anything could happen, it makes a gal very excited about life.
Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...
