Party, Party, Party, Party
So, on November 12th I had a “Graduation, New Job, House Warming, Birthday Party!” It was loads of fun.
I had asked Andy to make a batch of his Autumn Soup, but being his usual non-commital self, the only answer I got from him was, “We’ll see.” And so, when the day of the party rolled around (I asked him on Tuesday) I decided to make my own soup. I found a recipe for Winter Soup, and then I realized that I would have to quadruple it. Which lead me to the fact that I didn’t have a pot big enough. So, out I went to find a big stock pot. I’m happy to say I found a set of 3 at Shopko for under $30. They aren’t the best, but they will do for now.
Once I had the stock pot and I had picked up the ingredients, it was back to my place to get ready for the party. I really enjoyed making the soup, and it turned out very yummy. However, I realized while gettiing everything ready that I much perfer to have others around while getting ready for a party. This doesn’t mean that I won’t throw another party, it just gave me something to think about.
And then, shortly after 7pm, everyone arrived! I have an incredible small one bedroom apartment, I’m proud to say that 10 people fit quite comfortably into my space. I had worries when I opened my door and saw everyone walking down my hallway. . . It really was a lovely evening. There was yummy food, and good conversation! :) And I recived a few new games, a toaster, a Britta water pitcher, new books, and these really neat candle holders.
Everyone left around 4:30, I cleaned up a bit and then I slept. :)
