A BIG SURPRISE FOR THE HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST

See if you can GUESS where I was on

SATURDAY NIGHT!

Here's a hint!

I have to tell you a bit of the back story.

Grab a cuppa coffee or your vodka drink of choice,

sit back and read.

Kris & I "met" online blogging and we 

"connected" on many levels,

love of home, love of family,

love of her handy-dandy husband, Terry,

love of all things pretty.

One day out of the clear blue 

A MAN CALLED ME.

I didn't recognize the number and debated

on whether to answer.

A voice that I didn't recognize said-

How would you like to come down here?

WEAR A NIGHTGOWN!

BRING SOME $1 BILLS!

BRING 5 LOTTERY TICKETS

and

I WILL PICK YOU UP AT THE MOTEL 

OF YOUR CHOICE!

What went through my mind---

Hmmm...Axe murderer looking for a mark?

MANY other things went through my mind.

(Actually he offered to let me stay with them

but I didn't want to put that on Kris)

He wanted to surprise Kris with ME

for her 

GIRLFRIEND PARTY.

As I walked into the house

~which, let me tell you, her pictures

do NOT do justice to her house-

you have to see it in person to

really appreciate it~

I came in through the back door

as Terry pretended he forgot his wallet

so he could drop me off...

I held a gift bag high up so it covered my face.

Kris was watching me-

and it took her just a few seconds

to realize that it was 

Nana Diana-a real person in real life time!

You can read her 'take' on it here.

We were like BFF's from the first moment on.

Okay- first off- my hair---

I had tried to neaten it up 

by pulling part of it

up and back...

yeah---well- you can see how well that worked out.

Terry said he recognized me in the parking lot by

ALL THAT WHITE HAIR!  lol

Kris is even prettier in person than the picture shows!

WHAT A PARTY!

Okay-

First of all - the FOOD!

And did I mention her friends 

MIGHT BE CRAZY?

This one seemed to ZONE OUT 

right in the middle of

THE PARTY!

I won't name her because 

I don't want her family 

to put her in

THE HOME (yet).

The lady next to her (Sandy)

was wearing a blinking necklace all night.

Luckily, I am not seizure prone because

I sat next to her---

We partied in Terry's 

FIREMAN  CAVE

(much to his distress)

I won't mention that someone,

who shall remain nameless, thus, blameless,

might have broken one of his shelves off the wall.

Not that the party got wild, or anything,

you understand!

Kris had gifts & drawings-  

the gifts that were exchanged 

went to benefit a 

CHARITY OF THE GIVER'S CHOICE!

It was a wonderful night!

I am SO glad that I showed up in

PAJAMAS

with 

DOLLARS

and

LOTTERY TICKETS.

All that was missing was the

POLE DANCING FIREMAN!

Although Kris assures me that he 

does that at home when they are alone...

which sets THIS BOY a'howlin'....

And that's all I'm gonna say about THAT!

Thank you, Kris, for a wonderful,

wonderful party!

Guess what!

I am coming next year and bringing

ALL MY GIRLS

with me!

You can blame Terry for this WHOLE MESS!~
