"Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself."
Oh! How I love this quote! Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway is probably my favorite book of all time. For those who don't know, above is the first line of the book. See how she draws us in using free, indirect speech? We get into her thoughts through narrative voice. The line is so simple, yet stunning!
But seriously, this post is not meant to be a book review. Instead I am reminded of the beloved Mrs. Dalloway because she loves to throw parties, and so do I. For those who enjoy entertaining, the smiles on people's faces and comraderie of a get together is one of life's greatest satisfactions. Today, I plan a party. In fact, this will not be my best party. I kind of threw it together, but it will be fun and special none the less. I think that if I had my choice, my ultimate choice, I would throw parties for a living. Everybody loves a party and I love to plan them. Yay!

So when's the next one? Can I DJ? A party is made great by 3 things: Good people, Good drinks, and last, but surely not least, Great music! :)
D you do have the best party coordination skills. If I am ever in need of advice I will turn to you. Or maybe I'll supress the urge to throw my own party and just subtly encourage you to do so. That way I will be submerged in the party experience with none of the stress. Sweet! Love ya babe.
