Well here I am (or rather what's left of me) after our housewarming party on Saturday night. It's Monday morning now and I think I still feel a little hungover. Pitiful. The party started well enough at 5 PM when our very good friends Phil and Scott showed up with presents... a pair of the cutest metal sculptures. Mine is a cat and Blake's is a chicken (no surprise there). Nothing like a little cock and pussy to get a party started I always say. Well, I don't always say that but I might just start now.
Blake, self-proclaimed Master of the Bar-B-Q, was at the grill russling up all sorts of vittles: chicken, ribs, shrimp... I swear if there was a possum around he would have cooked it as well. Phil also brought potato salad and Jason soon arrived with three different salads. I even whipped up a Derby Pasta Salad from a Kentucky cookbook,
Spendor in the Bluegrass. Cute. Our other guests started arriving and it was shaping up to be a grand old party.
What follows next is all a blur. All I know is I went from one little innocent glass to wine to this ...
...and the next thing I know I've passed out in my own vomit like a bad 80s rock star. Can anyone say "Axl Rose"? Luckily the paparazzi wasn't there to capture that particular moment of glory.
Three hours later I awoke almost refreshed having missed the bulk of the party. However, it was still going strong and I managed to change shirts and continue with the boisterous merrymaking (albeit sans alcohol) for the next 3 hours or so.
First off, I would like to apologize again to anyone I may have offended or even vomited on in my rather drunken state. I'm afraid I've become Mary Jo Shively who once admitted there are two things she can only handle a small cup of ... liquor and breasts.
Secondly, I would like to thank everyone who showed up. I hope you had a wonderful time. I also hope that someone took lots of pictures so I can see what I missed while I was enjoying my mid-party siesta.
Until the next party ... ROCK ON!
Sorry for the delay. Last week my good friend Allen came to visit and I admit that I forgot to post the rest of the pictures of the flat. I'll shut up now and post the pictures.
