Apparently the party didn't really get started until after I left. Either that or the pain meds made me completely lose my memory of the evening's activities! I, however, happen to own a shaker. A real shaker. Please? Can we reconvene the party? I’m requesting a re-do! Apparently the party didn’t really get started until after I left.

For the trendy penguin shaped ones, I think I saw them on my last trip to Cost Plus World Market or maybe Pier 1. I don't know what kind of person owns one, except maybe the type of person who shops frequently at CPWM or Pier 1. (I didn't buy one- sorry. I only go there for cheap candles, Hello Kitty cookies, and pasta shaped like cows and sombreros.)

Wide belts are all the rage and I for one couldn't wear a wide belt- You go girl! Second- I'm a vodka lover and have never had a gimlet- I will check out your recipe! Third- I have shakers- many shakers, one is even in the shape of a Polar Bear... Now that you're a gimlet girl- you really need to invest in a shaker! Glad you had fun!

Although a few greenies will cause you to forget almost everything. If you're really adventurous, try tequilla. A little splash of club soda will make your “greenie” unforgetable.

You should have done a beehive to match! Who knew that polyester would ever come back? What was I thinking when I sent all of Mom's polyester to Goodwill and just kept the cashmere sweaters? I could have made a retro fashion statement too! But wait - we can probably dig up some landfills and still find some perfectly preserved polyester garments! You are rocking that poly ensemble.

Except I don't drink. At least I don't drink anything stronger than a gourmet Hazelnut Cocoa. I guess I should find the Thanksgiving tablecloth. Perhaps wearing that will make me feel young again. Thank for the belly laugh! I really needed it today. ” forty one year old, rapidly decroding, matronly, flesh packet”
