The housewarming went superbly, thanks to everyone for joining in! Sue got to meet a fair chunk of my wonderful friends, and her beloved Phil will hate me for sending her back so spoiled. Sorry, Phil!
I now have several excellent bottles of vodka to start infusing... must order vanilla beans and such tomorrow.
I was surprised to see that Pooka, who used to disappear completely during parties, has taken over the role of party cat now that Salem is gone. Maybe it's because she's gone mostly deaf and the noise of the party no longer bothers her. She put on a good show, and oozed cute in exchange for scraps of cheese, the sneaky little thing. Randy was significantly less enthused the more people arrived. When Pooka was done with the party, she retired to the bedroom, only to find that damn cat there, so she instead lounged on the back porch.
I still have a ton of dolls to clear out, but no Pollies or Barbies were harmed in the course of the party, and no one went screaming from my abode, so I consider the evening a win.
