Oh yeah, I did something interesting last night that I can't even blame on my drinking.
I spilled a drink. I have never done that before at a party. I happen to have a slight tremor and sometimes my hands kind of give out. My mother understands, since she has something similar.
Thankfully, there was some oxyclean, and a very very fun man name Michael who helped me remove the stain.
The cocktail party was most amusing. Elizabeth knows some very fun people. Most of which seem to be men. Most of which seem to be very very cute.
She fed us terrific food (which I know she was worried about) Made wickedly strong drinks and I heard one of the funniest lines last night, "of course he was gay, he owns a kitchen-aid."
That had my laughing all evening.
Plus my outfit was terrific! Pearls, super high heels, and lot's of leg.
I think I am going to lie on the sofa, listen to the calming tones of Charles Osgood and think about how I get to see Howard Dean today.
WOo

Then you do bad dirty things with the cake and they will think, "hrm...do I need to pick up my dry-cleaning."
the end.

Date: 2003-08-24 03:02 pm (UTC)i am very straight, i own a Kitchen-Aid, and i'm about to use it to make sage-verbena-thyme pesto.
so there.
however, if it will help in the confusion/seduction thing, more power to it.
"hey, babe, wanna see my appliances?"

So many women are seduced by kitchen appliances.
A lot of men could have probably lured me into their homes with promises of showing me their kitchen-aid.
Hell, Andrew lured me into this place by offering to make me dinner.
I am too easy.

Everyone has an off night when it comes to food.
I think it has to do with how your soul is feeling.

Date: 2003-08-25 07:40 am (UTC)as it turns out, i DO have a real dining room table. and chairs, sort of. wouldn't hurt to buy some better ones.
of course, it wouldn't hurt to have a better place to house it all in ...

I have seen your dining room table and chairs. But You also have a kitchen aid.
I think of some old boyfriends...they had the over-priced black leather couches. The big bar, the million dollar view...and a card table and folding chairs for dining room furniture.

'cuz, y'know, i hear the chicks find that real cute. mmm, cats in ties. what could be better?

He looked pissed.
