Even though a bunch of people le bailed, it was a great party.  Two water fights, lots of grilling, lots of eating, random chocolate cake showing up just in time for dessert, dancing, singing, assembly line kabob assembly, the late-stayers all working together to get the crap in from the yard, [profile] mymagritteshowing up early and rocking the decorations...Well, and lots of other stuff.

Sunday I lay on the couch, ate leftovers (there isn't a whole lot left), and watched Angel Season 1.  It rained, I stayed dry...nothing better.  Today, the decorations come down after work, and the leftovers will likely be history.

Many thanks again to A & C for decorations; K & MD & C for tables, extra chairs, and tiki torches; MC for sound equipment, and J for wearing a hawiian shirt (and I only had to threaten him for a month!).

I'll upload a couple of pics, when I get the chance.

Which is my new generic post title for the moment, after realizing that I've used 'So...' or some variation 4 times.  *Note to self: Must work on creative titling.  I was doing well, for a while there.

Work is a crazy place, filled with craziness; less said the better.  I have a feeling 'The Office Hellmouth' will be completed sometime soon.  Luau planning is moving along at a steady clip, and my new roomie (!) who moves into the long-vacant back bedroom at the end of the month will be by the house to visit tonight.  The reason those two tie together, is that I need to pass along the e-vite for the party, so she can invite her people.  Spent a ridiculous amount of money on decorations for this thing; I'm so glad I took my friends up on their offers to help buy stuff.  Yay, party decorations!

Also, I heard from an old friend today, kind of randomly.  We talked a bit, but we're both busy with work.  It was nice, though; and random, which is what I expect from my friends.

Any good ideas for luau music?  I've heard Don Ho, Jimmy Buffet, Bob Marley, and the suggestion 'just play lots of reggae dance music'.  Any other thoughts?
