Are we on? I want to make sure we're back from my brother's place on time. TS got a new ice cream maker for her Kitchen Aid. Anyone for ice cream cake? | ||

G*d I hope so. I'm either going to be very happy and in a mood to celebrate or very upset and in need of big laughs. | ||

I haven't heard from Mem yet, but I'm in a decent mood at the moment and say let's have me a birthday party! (somewhere...) My only concern is I am missing my TIARA. I wear it every year on my birthday (I throw myself a birthday party at the Arc where I volunteer, and since none of the autistic kids can wear hats, I get to be the only princess!). I must have thrown it away during the move in an "I'll show him" fit of rage (I threw out my tiara - who's laughing now, jerko!). So, providing I can find a new one, I say the party shall go on! Somewhere. With ice cream cake a la TS. And Bets. And Pippi and JTA and maybe Rissoto... | ||

We need a back-up plan. I don't know what time we will get home from my brother's Saturday afternoon, or I'd offer my house. Let's see how the day goes. Entry to the party (except for Las) will be one dish or bottle. Someone needs to bring a tiara. | ||
| Pippi Supporter Username: Pippi Post Number: 1086 Registered: 8-2003 |
Just so we don't have too many tiaras (is such a thing possible??) I will bring the tiara! | ||
| Pippi Supporter Username: Pippi Post Number: 1087 Registered: 8-2003 |
where does one obtain a tiara?? | ||

David's Bridal? Target's web site shows them.. perhaps the store will carry them. Good luck. | ||
| redY67 Citizen Username: Redy67 Post Number: 2781 Registered: 2-2003  |
Oh you can find a great tiarra at Target, or at Party City. Las definitely deserves a big beautiful one! | ||

I'll keep my eye on this thread, but things have come up & I may stay at my brother's until late on Sat. Not sure yet. | ||
| mem Citizen Username: Mem Post Number: 5213 Registered: 5-2001  |
Greenetree - If you have to stay at your brother's I can reschedule for the following Sat. - Otherwise - this Sat night looks good. I'll supply the house and the rum. Cheers! | ||
| bets Supporter Username: Bets Post Number: 2185 Registered: 6-2001 |
Mojitas! | ||
| bets Supporter Username: Bets Post Number: 2186 Registered: 6-2001 |
(Greenetree, you and TS have to come, even if only for a rest after the long car ride.) | ||
| Cato Nova Citizen Username: Cato_nova Post Number: 840 Registered: 12-2003  |
Mojitos, for goodness sake. TOS, like the things you suck on when you get upset. | ||
| las Citizen Username: Las Post Number: 287 Registered: 10-2003 |
redY, you'll be there, won't you? Cato (and other single male friends)? | ||
| redY67 Citizen Username: Redy67 Post Number: 2784 Registered: 2-2003 |
las you are so sweet! Thanks for the invite, I think I will be able to make it! | ||
| Pippi Supporter Username: Pippi Post Number: 1093 Registered: 8-2003 |
mmmm....I like rum...... | ||
| greenetree Supporter Username: Greenetree Post Number: 4909 Registered: 5-2001 |
Don't hold the party on account of me (us). We will be home at some point - we are swapping kitty-sitting duties with friends. I just don't know what time. We will do our damndest to get there; but I'm not sure I can commit to TS making a cake. I'm sorry.  | ||
| bets Supporter Username: Bets Post Number: 2188 Registered: 6-2001 |
Cake schmake! We're having MOJITAS (the feminine plural). Things went well for me today and I am 100 pounds lighter. I've brought the eye candy in for cleaning. Please come. | ||
| bets Supporter Username: Bets Post Number: 2189 Registered: 6-2001 |
And, of course, las will wear her tiara with pride and jubilation. Endings are sometimes good. They generate new beginnings. | ||

Bets, I'm so glad. Your posts make me smile from ear to ear.  Thank you, Mem - I'll bring the cake! | ||

Arghhh. I hopefully will be able to stop by when we return from Connecticut -- we have a party at 4:00 ish in Danbury. | ||

Las: It was great meeting you face to face (I felt I already knew you well from out many virtual conversations)last night at your birthday celebration. I'm glad to see that you are well along on the journey of creating the kind of life you truly want for yourself. | ||
| Debby Citizen Username: Debby Post Number: 1914 Registered: 5-2001 |
I am so jealous. Happy belated birthday, las. May 38 be the greatest year ever. | ||

Oops...37+  | ||
| Pippi Supporter Username: Pippi Post Number: 1099 Registered: 8-2003 |
it was so much fun to meet many "virtual friends." I look forward to more parties and more mojitos! Thanks to mem for hosting! | ||
| Virtual It Girl Citizen Username: Shh Post Number: 2909 Registered: 5-2001 |
Yup. It was great to be able to finally put faces and real names with MOL identities. Everyone was so much nicer and better looking than I anticipated! The hardest thing is calling people by their real names. I still think of everyone by their screen names, even you Pippi! | ||
| Jay Citizen Username: Jaymon Post Number: 435 Registered: 10-2004  |
Nicer and better looking, eh? Your just saying that to make me feel bad, VIG  | ||
| Virtual It Girl Citizen Username: Shh Post Number: 2910 Registered: 5-2001 |
No, it's really true. Last night was basically a group of models (sans egos of course) and Art! | ||
| las Citizen Username: Las Post Number: 295 Registered: 10-2003 |
Let me tell you, Jay: VIG is HOT! | ||

I had a wonderful time too, and am so glad that so many turned out for las's belated birthday party! Mem, you're a doll for hosting again, thank you! Great meeting the MOLers I didn't know and, as always, the ones I do. Hope to see you all again soon! | ||

An amazing thing happened and it happened to me and it happened a few nights ago and suffice it to say I can’t go into detail (but can promise my attorney approves of my actions ). You see I found a friend whose heart aches like mine and like me he has been alone and watching the world as it goes on without him remembering a life of the past and both of us met up and made a connection and decided that we could be friends. And the thing that happened a few nights ago made me once again look back and question the life that I had and the life that I loved and the person I thought loved me too. You see the other night my friend said some things and made me feel so alive and since that time I’ve been gushing and smiling and thinking back hard and looking deep down and realizing ‘him’ never made me feel as beautiful as I feel right now. But the funny thing is that for the first time since he left me and ruined my life as I knew it I’m not wallowing in the realization of loss but enjoying new memories I’ve made. And there will be more memories – I see that today (but who knows what tomorrow may bring) – so while I am smiling and dreaming and living I am looking ahead to the life that will be instead of the one that was. And the weekend I had has been filled with such richness and last night my friends around town threw a party for me to celebrate my birth and remind me I am not alone. And the friends that I made since my new life began are the best friends I’ll ever have because they could care less that my soul was in fog when they met me they just want me there right now to create new memories and enjoy my life one day and one step at a time. And these friends of mine who cheer me on have no idea of their strength and their impact on me with each email and phone call and hug and visit we have. And while I’m in this glass half full kind of mood and looking ahead I will share the good news that I’ve been hesitant to leak: that I have been assured by both lawyers producing this marital demise of mine that there will be some money so I must be sure to enroll for classes this fall! The implications of that are huger than life it means not just will I study, but there’s a future ahead! and I must start planning and dreaming and taking my steps. | ||

Wonderful news all around, you go girl! "It's a new dawn!", as they say. I'm wondering if this is some cosmic ray of sunshine, because they found a liver for Shari last weekend (YAY!). Life is grand, huh? MWAH  ! | ||
| Pippi Supporter Username: Pippi Post Number: 1100 Registered: 8-2003 |
Yay Las! Happy Monday! | ||
