I can't believe I haven't written in a month! So much going on...
Old people dance party: I gathered a lot of my favorite people to attend a new trends... an 80s/90s dance party that goes from 5-9 pm. Strongly recommend this, btw... we danced our asses off for 4 hours, had time to pre-game, then come home and post-game. Bonus was sporting a hot pink wig!
Night in Venice: this was a bunch of fun with Cousin Eddie as the Grand Marshall. Added bonus: I bought a life-size Clark Griswold cutout which I zip-tied to the house. Random people stopped and took selfies, just a hoot. Plus, Clark will now attend all my ugly sweater parties.
Interior decorating: thanks to one of my lovely husbands on loan, we got the Archie / Arthur Fonzarelli the AC cranking. I also purchased the super comfy chairs and such. It was definitely worth it, but I have zero plans to do another 'down to the studs' home renovation project. A few paint and floor jobs, sure... but trying my hand as a perfectionist, ugh... I managed to even annoy ChatGPT trying to pick the perfect decor.
Leapin' lizard (the 2026 edition): this year, an Italian wall lizard decided to come inside my house. I found it lounging on Holly's dog bed, and I screamed so loud it ran. I was hoping it had left, but then it took off under my bar. One step too far, Felix... depsite dear old dad trying to find it, we can't officially say Felix is gone, but he has learned to not come near me.
So. Many. Parties.: Like really, who knew that turning 50 is as celebrated as turning 21... I couldn't even make all of them, but I did manage to pull off a surprise party. I'm not quite sure how, given I'm a horrible liar, but, we got it done.
And these are a few highlights... this weekend, is my Fantasy Football draft and we have some new players, which I'm thrilled about...
It's been an exhausting life, but someone has to live it!
