SUPER SUNDAY

posted Sunday, 5 February 2006

Have I mentioned that I have the best friends a girl could ask for? Well, I do.

I was kind of bumming about the latest surgery. Though I was feeling well, I wasn't really out and about. Last year, I watched the Super Bowl at Robin's & then Susie & Jaeger's... both of whom have moved away. :( I'm not a huge football fan, but I do like the company, the commercials & of course, the grid pool!

And then this email came out.....


hey all,



in light of recent events and in an attempt to be sure that none of us is excluded from superbowl festivities because of sucky infections, we're gonna bring the superbowl party to linda's crib. bring food, drink and/or a commitment to clean-up afterward. or just bring yourself, whatever you're capable of. I'm bringing chili. we could really use some appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages. If you could please "respond to all" either way to avoid gaps or overlaps. last minute responses (better than no response at all) can be accomplished by calling or texting me. we'll set up a grid with superbowl boxes for $1 or $2 a box. please, in the spirit of spontaneity, friendship, and support, consider being there for this gathering. it'll be a lot more than just another superbowl party.



peace,

mj

And that is what friendship is all about. 12 people made the party -- mike v, rowley, ari, jackson x2, rebecca, biddle, keith, blo, vlad, soda & his lady (sorry I can't remember her name). We ate like royalty (aro's homemade salsa & guac, keith's famous taco dip, mj's magical chili, rebecca's bodacious brownies, pizza, blo's ton of tater tots, vlad's brocco-delite & mango sundae surpise and much much more). People stayed to clean (Vlad even ran the vacuum cleaner) and I didn't have to lift a finger.

I didn't get lucky in the grid pool (congrats to ??, vlad, mike v, and biddle for their winnings), but I felt like a very lucky girl to be surrounded by such good friends.
