To Do

Updated August 23, 2009 I know, I know. It’s juvenile and silly. But I never played. Not once. Maybe it was because I was from such a small town and everybody had kissed everybody else already anyway. I never heard of any party in my town where the kids played Spin the Bottle or 7 […]

Updated September 19, 2010 I’ve always had a thing for throwing over-the-top parties, and a luau complete with a huge feast, hula dancers, and leis would be right up my alley. I recently realized that my local community college offers classes in hula dancing – what better way to celebrate finishing up a hula dancing […]

Updated July 13, 2009 A party that involves someone jumping out of a cake is a party not to be missed, that’s for sure. How many times does that actually happen in real life instead of just on television? I’d just like to be sexy and fun and surprise someone.

Updated December 11, 2009 When I was growing up, a lot of places were equipped with juke boxes, from the Pizza Hut where we liked to eat lunch from time to time to the arcade where we hung out all summer long, a few quarters would make sure you heard all your favorite songs, and […]

Sure, I’d be the most popular person in the room for the rest of the night.

It’s just fun to dress up in beautiful clothes and dance with friends.

The closest I got was having one friend spend the night, but that’s hardly a slumber party. As a ‘grown-up’ I’ve been to slumber parties at […]

Updated January 2010 Okay, seriously, how can this not have been done? And what’s more fun than a potluck supper? You never know what you’re going to get and so often friends surprise you with their wonderful signature dishes. And there’s always way too much food, so everyone gets to take home leftovers. It’s a […]

Updated July 4, 2009 The bartender probably meets more people at a party than anyone else – the bartender is the first to arrive, the last to leave, and the person everyone sees – even if it’s just for a club soda. I have a hard time at parties a lot of the time. I […]
