Rob's Moods and My B-day Shindig

Rob: He claims nothing went wrong specifically at the party and he is not mad at anyone. He told me he had a bad time at the party, didn't much like any of it. I asked what happened and if I had done something, or maybe it was just too crowded (crowds upset him). He said, "No, I just wasn't in the right frame of mind. I was just in a different

I had a BLAST at the party! Would like to have heard more Jimmy Buffet songs, but enjoyed what was played. For those of you who thought I was not having fun...what you need to know about me is that getting it the way I want it is critical for me. Once that's done, I relax and enjoy.

STATS:
- 60 people, 20 were family, 40 were a combo of Jeff's work, my work, kids friends, and our neighbors.
- Hardly any leftovers, but still plenty of booze left. (Carrie: Let me know if you want to borrow the Margarator for your party. We also have lots of tequila and rum left.)
- A few got too drunk to drive and two spent the night.
- Several small wounds on a few people:
- knee scrapes from the picnic table seat b/c it was too dark to see it (Kim, Terri, Tim)
- a stoved-up toe from the vent in the hallway (Michelle)
- a ton of scratches from getting "Hip-checked" (sp?) into the fence by a 12 year old girl (withholding name to avoid humiliation)
- a ton of scratches on two who DID IT between the houses (withholding names to respect the free-spirited)
- Sore from head to toe (Kim & Terri...cleanup took till 3:00 pm on Sunday! LOL! Now THAT's a party!) Side note: I have a very organized Island Party bag of decorations, should anyone ever need to borrow it.

PICKUPS: Besides the two free spirits above, Cathy was the only one, to my knowledge who picked someone up! Dale drove her home, spent the night, and apparently they're an item. (Hey, it gets Mike out of the picture, so I'm all for it!)

DRUNKEN FALLS: Cathy fell off the toilet. Eddie (bless his heart) got her back on it. A guy Jeff works with saw Eddie coming out of the bathroom, thought he was done with it, walked in on Cathy, and ran out with his hands over his mouth. We then showed him the downstairs john.

LEARNING: Need to change the blinds in the downstairs john. From the deck, I noticed the guy wears tighty-whities! LOL! OMG! Glad he has no clue!

PARTY PLANNER LEARNINGS: Simpler food next time, hire a cleanup crew, play more Buffet, Shaggy, Marley, etc. Taking improvement suggestions for the next one. Haven't decided, but I think the patio party will be once a year, with the Island theme every other year, no theme the years in between.

We had such a good time, we never even got around to the limbo, musical chairs, etc. What does that say? LOL!

CONCLUSION: Take away my squeaky toy, it was a hit!!!

Thanks everyone...you made it an awesome event!

P.S. Having breakfast outside the next day was really nice. We've decided to that more often.

Mom, Aimee said to tell you that you are every bit as cool as I ever made you sound, lol...
