Party Girl Part II

I didn't realize it had been almost a month since I updated. No excuse, just nothing interesting to write about. So, after reading Justin's comment on my last post I decided to at least try to come up with something. So I thought I would tell about this weekend. I had my fifth SLAH party yesterday at Jeff's (my cousin) in Raleigh. It was a lot of fun. There were about 18-19 people there. I had thought up this game that we played, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. What I did was place 26 of our products around the downstairs of Jeff's house - in the living room, kitchen, dining room, music room, and even in the bathroom. And then everyone got into teams of 2 or 3. They then went around the house looking to see which of the many home decor items Jeff had that were SL stuff, write down the name of the item and the page number it was on in the catalog. It took them about 20 minutes, and everyone had a good time "treasure hunting". Everyone was really nice and easy to talk to, and I got two bookings! One guy and his partner said they would have a party on Jan. 21st. I have to be in Raleigh that day anyway, so that was no trouble. And then a woman and her friend are going to have one the night before on the 20th. So Jeff said I could stay with him again. So that will be fun. Jeff is a great host. The guy who is going to have the party is actually someone I used to know. He grew up in Jonesville and was two years behind me in school. He is very talented musically and is the organist at a big church in Raleigh. He and his partner have been together for over seven years. Last night on the way back from supper Jeff showed me and Mom where they lived. It is a beautiful house, over $350,000. I can't wait to see the inside. That should be another fun party.

BTW - I am cooking this week for Thanksgiving and got some groceries last Friday. Guess what I forgot? The turkey. I hope I remember it tomorrow so it can start thawing in the fridge. It takes several days to thaw, usually five. I may have to just go with a fresh one - which is better but a lot more expensive.
