Have a great meeting!

...she said optimistically.

AFK, contractor here

The Dress Clem loves?

Oh, my.

Incredibly impractical for farm work. SHe appreciates the loaner though

oooooooo

And will probably fold like a loan chair if folks pressure her to keep it anyway

ha!

She can wear it on a date!

Shallimar may have set Siv up

But it got her in the party 🙂

Could have come as MIss Peach or Sgt. Grey, but nooo

Nope!

Vashti could lamentl, her victorian purity is sullied

But shallimar adores Tim Curry. What did she expect?

Well, Zara is clearly loving it.

mmm oh let me flip for something

/roll coin

an aside

my bffs once threw me a surprise murder mystery party

HA

Great minds

Really? That's so cool!

I was given a packing list of outfits for the weekend

two of them were red herrings

they got my WHOLE FAMILY in to PA

so, Josh was in Watertown NY at the time, and I forget if Dad was in Nebraska or PA at that point...

It was my 30th

It was pretty amazing

Wow! Okay, that's some big-time friending.

But getting both of my parents AND Josh & fam all in one place? As a SURPRISE?

Big time

those are the friends that are coming on Sat

that I am only freaking out a little about fitting into tiny house

if it were just Shannon & Helen, I would be less worried. I love the girls, but an 8 & 6 year old are... a lot...

Hopefully their parents will manage the kids well?

Helen is a good parent!

And they're good kids!

My house is just small, and 4 guests is a lot.

We will decide if they are camping in the yard or not. This has been discussed as an option

for reference, the living room:

(And the still-stressful coffee table area.)

It's tight

there are technically 5 seats with 3 on the couch & two on the loveseat, I guess

I think kids are getting relegated to floor.

Sleeping bags or air matresses. Kids are made out of rubbah
