Speaking of Parties....

A few days ago I wrote about our upcoming weekend, which was full of little kids birthday parties. We all had an awesome time at both gatherings.

Hubby and I have hosted a party or two in the past - of the more grown up variety, though. Send the kids away, open up the wine, break out the more gourmet foods, and indulge in some fun conversation and a board game or two. 

We haven't had one of these gatherings, though, in a rather long while. And since I've been unemployed since the end of April, I've found it difficult to reason out why/how we can afford to host another one during this time. I've promised myself that, once I am gainfully employed, one of the first things we'll do is have some friends over.

But I'm not employed yet. And I miss our friends.

Not that we haven't seen friends over the last several months. We have. But it's often in a kids playdate sort of way. Or a quick coffee date situation. Not a evening get together/grownup get together way.

I think it's high time that changes. Why wait for employment when I'm sure we can fanagle an elegant yet inexpensive gathering anyway.

I think I'll start by making up the guest list and looking at the calendar. We've made a few new friends lately, so this will be a great way to spend some time together with a great mix of fun adults.

The timing, though... that may be tricky. As it gets closer to the holidays, schedules do fill up. Hmmm... I'll see what I can do.

Yay! Party time again!
