LAST EDITED ON 11-02-01 AT 09:35 PM (EST) heeheehee! You ARE a tad overdressed--not to worry, I've got an extra caftan (remember those gauze paisley bedspreads? yep--this is what I did with mine. . .) And you have given me the absolute BESTEST hostess gift EVER! Neiman-Marcus couldn't have given me something I wanted (but didn't really NEED) more than the Japanese loo! And I was honestly going to include one in my novel, but you know how priorities must be assigned. . . Damn it all--I heard all about your trip AFTER I'd completely gutted and redone the bathroom, so I couldn't very well start over. Man, I'm going to be in there for days at a time. . . LOL Pooh--long time no see! The birds are safely shut into the other side of the house. I really appreciate you coming despite the danger! (Just think of them as little men, and never let them know you're afraid. . .) I wonder if we can't get someone to flop poor MIS onto a bean bag in the corner so people quit tripping on her. I told her I always preferred my liquor neat and didn't know how to mix those high-falutin' drinks, but she insisted I wing it--somehow, I never really considered that a LI iced tea actually had TEA in it! I thought it was enough just to keep pouring combinations of stuff until it LOOKED like tea. She never stood a chance, cheese balls and all. . . GT Edited to add that I would NEVER subject the masses to the pipes--but if I every throw a Cèilidh, LOOK OUT! And munky--cool it with the feces--looks like the neighbors have had one of their "spats" and the cops are already next door. . .
