My pride and joy.<BR/><BR/>azure islands designs--thanks. I spend a lot of time in the backyard. Lots of weeding. Heh, heh.<BR/><BR/>Roxy--I can't believe you would ever have an issue at one of your parties. Or if you did, I'm sure no one would ever know it. Being the perfectionist you are, and all.<BR/><BR/>Matt--May sound like "I Love Lucy" from your point of view, but I assure you, it was no comedy at the time. And you weren't invited because I thought you would be busy with the ABBA world tour. Plus, you don't exactly live close by, now do you?<BR/><BR/>tashabud--the party was a success...ultimately...but the first two hours were sheer Hell for me.<BR/><BR/>desperateblogger--I take care of the backyard all by myself. But if you'd like more insight into my personal life, and who was invited to the party, you'll have to go to www.ithappenedinplainfield.com. That has more information than you'll probably care to know.<BR/><BR/>joy--Thanks. The photo only shows a small portion of the backyard. I will have to include another picture at some point which gives a better view. <BR/><BR/>designing hilary--Thanks. I'm glad to hear it. I'll keep you in mind in case I ever have a bathroom themed fiesta in the future.<BR/><BR/>gyspsy at heart--I didn't really have much choice. Don't want my guests to experience the pain that I was going through. Everyone pitched in to help with drinks and food while I was taking care of the bathroom, so I was very grateful for that.Henson Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488179170722007018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497922338860035706.post-51609623947750889612008-07-30T07:29:00.000-07:002008-07-30T07:29:00.000-07:00I was exhausted just reading about it.

I have the same type of bad luck. Our most accessible toilet in the powder room always (3 years running?) backs up the day before Thanksgiving, and our central air has broken down twice during the hottest week of the late spring just before our Roxiticus Sunset Party.<BR/><BR/>However, I'm sure everyone had a terrific time at your pool party, as I suspect you're as much fun as a party host as you are a blog host.<BR/><BR/>Roxy<BR/><BR/>P.S. -- You are looking quite relaxed on my EntreCard widget today.
