Oh, this is FUN! I've already hung my rainbow- and purple-and-yellow-paper garlands around my patio umbrella, and in the yard. I've cleaned it.
I've inventoried my foodstuffs. I may have more, as I plan to attend Blue Dragon tomorrow night, and he doesn' mind donating to Food Not Bombs.
And Thursday, my Food Stamps come!
I have: humus roll ups, which I'll broil, temporarily, with good sharp provolone. I have steaks. I have potatoes. I can make salsa.
I still have some frozen lemon curd dessert.
If I have to, I can run to Smith's for extra stuff.
The theme is cats.
I will surround the umbrella handle with small cat nicknacks.
I will "paint" cat faces on the plates, with beef gravy.
I may even make cat crackers, or some such thing.
The Birthday Girl has more cats than I do, and our friend is a cat lover, too: temporarily catless.
I'm giving the Birthday Girl one of my cat pillows, as well.
So, the yard's already decorated. The livingroom's cleaned. The yard's cleaned. The kitchen's cleaned.
Tomorrow, I begin cooking!
I haven't had good, women friends for WAY too long! And these are two of the smartest, funniest women I've met in this town!
What a JOY!
It's like a little girls' tea party, but FOR REAL!
I have a little, table top fountain pump that runs on batteries.
I am seriously considering fashioning a table top, fruit punch fountain!
I'm SO LOVING this!
