sweet pea's party

my darling friend sweet pea had her annual german themed holiday party last night and it was grand! heck - it even snowed. today i'm frozen, stranded at home and sick sick sick! it truly was worth it, though. i'll just let the pictures tell the story.
white elephant gift from me! i finally pawned it off on someone.

i think russ's reasoning was that if he held it up high enough, no one could reach it to steal it. this gift was a winner.
jonelle's voodoo doll toothpick holder!

we had to use strategy to get cory his benihana mug collection.

is oscar part of the gift exchange? i want him!


so i didn't end up with a pug but i did get this kick ass john cougar mellencamp t shirt. i feel like i scored big. i will wear this in public with pride!


ach! good german beer.

last minute party revelers huddled beneath the palm tree. gotta love pea's house!


the mandatory chicken dance

heather, kalilah, sweet pea and me, a.k.a. "The Ladies of Luna Park"

thank you, sweet pea!

PEA! Pea and Susie together at the same time in the same pic! Priceless! I so WISH I could celebrate with you both, b/c you touch my heart and I love you so much!

Yay for you both! P.S. Pls tell Pea I miss her when you get a chance.

I did, S, I did.... The dress you wore was simply awe-inspiring. It's a cool dress, yes, but with you in it, it transcends to the next level.

I love you dear woman.

Good grief,

Please feel better soon. I should have said that the first time!

you're so sweet! i got what i deserved for drinking too much and hanging out next to the little bonfire in 28 degree weather. i feel 1000x better today and swear i'll never drink again! well, unless it's for a celebration, and even then i'll just drink a little bit.it's scary how jacked up i get from drinking beer anymore. what happened to me?
