So we've been in the new apartment for hair over a month now and we're getting more and more settled each day. It has been fun to decorate the different rooms in the ways that we like and while it seems like we spend 99% of our weekend running around or in Kevin's case working and homework-ing... its nice to just slow down and attempt to cook dinner and have an adult beverage (horrible beer in his case,, and lovely wine in mine!)
Anyway, we're hosting an apartment warming/bday party for Kevin in a few weeks.. and you are all welcome to come if you'd like. Sadly I don't think anyone from the WNY area actually reads this but your welcome if you'd like to make the trip.
After planning and organizing a move and its great success I needed some time to regroup and calm down before attempting to plan something again. Its so hard to get everything ready for your home to have a bunch of people come in and visit. Especially since most people havent been to any of my apartments and few to Kevin's parents house, that I know it will be interesting to some how the 'clash of cultures' occurs between us in our apartment. While on a tighter budget than I'd like, I want to have a nice homey apartment where people feel welcome but I cant always afford the things that I want and I find it wasteful to buy things that are cheap and not want I want at this point. So in being picky and shopping online and doing sale comparisons I find decorating to be fun but stressful a bit.
I find planning a party and not getting RSVPs back from the many people invited to be frustrating and a bit stressful also. When you get an invite to something, you check your schedule and maybe even check your husbands/wife/gf/bf's schedule and get back to the person a Y/N/Maybe. If you have no interest in coming , say No and be done with it. Your not going to hurt my feelings cause you cant or dont want to come! Instead people do nothing and if I knew only 3 people would come then I wouldnt make all kinds of food and buy lots of drinks and worry about seating. If I knew that before the day of it would be much nicer. But people hem and haw and I dont understand it.
Do you think its like New Years where you dont want to commit to an event because your not sure what better is going to come along? Where people are waiting for the big invite for the "perfect' nite? Do you think its just that people cant plan two weeks ahead of themselves? The party is at my house and I'm supplying the food and booze,, I mean really!! Its an economic stimulus plan funded by me! Free food and drink and socializing, that sounds like the best time!
Oh well, so I'm trying to plan an party and I'm doing my best to make the apartment ready and figure out what to serve and what to pour and there is no question that my level of apathy increases as more days go by and more people dont RSVP.
POO!!!
So anyway you should come and celebrate with us! I know there will be pizza and wings and beer and wine, so thats a receipe for success...:)

I wish we lived closer! I LOVE pizza and wings! What's wrong with the Buffalo peeps that they wont come out for drinks and pizza & wings!! For Gods sake!! That's just crazy!!! RSVP now people. Eat some for us poor Texans who will be without yummy free food in a few weeks. And it's an added bonus that it's a party for Kevin too. Who wouldn't want to celebrate the life of someone who makes our Danielle so happy:)
Have fun kids. Wish we could come!
Yes, you just remind me I need to rsvp for a friend's wedding! People are just forgetful, like me... and I'm sorry I can't take the long trip to your party, I would if I could, in my case a lil soda would be my request... hugs and I hope you have a great party!
I wish you could come too Shan! Some more of the RSVPs are trickling in slowly, but I'm pretty sure its going to be a lot of last minute stuff.
yaye!! you're having a PARTY! its going to be awesome:) I wish we could come too, man i'd love some good wings!!!!!...when is it? are you having wine and cheese!? I understand your frustration but maybe they're thinking its not a big deal to rsvp and so they're just taking their time with it? figuring you know they're going to come or something if they live close? just trying to think of what they'd be thinking but i can imagine that can be annoying. good luck with the cooking and preparing food and drinks! that sounds like so much fun:) is it a surprise for kevin? i'm sure everyone will feel comfortable if you are comfortable because they love you and kevin and are just there to hang out with you guys! it'll be sooooo much fun!!!!!! ps if not to the party, this summer at some pt we really want to come and visit and go to niagra falls or something like that. can't wait to see your apt!
Thanks NIkki, I would love for you to come too!. Its not a surprise for Kevin and your totally right I know a few people keep forgetting to ask their spouses or whatever but its hard to prepare something when you dont know an vague sense of how many. I guess you cant have too much, and if there is I'll take it home to my parents and brother!
You guys should definitely take a trip upstate. Even if we meet at some winery in the middle that might be a fun weekend!with or without the boys!
