That small, impromptu party I threw together? HUGE. Forty people in our tiny little house, huge. I have planned parties that had fewer people show up. Early party? Hey, if you start at 6, it should end by 10, no? No. At 1 a.m. when I thought the house was empty I saw a small jacket hanging on the door to the basement.
"Oh crap, Honey! M. forgot her jacket."
"No, I didn't," came a little voice from the basement.
The man of the house decided to hook his PS2 to the tv downstairs and put on the DDR a friend gave us. So M. and her man, S. were dancing and grooving in the basement. So, even though I was tired I went down and kept them company. Until about they time they tried to convince me to try drunken DDR (I'm a DDR virgin). So, I gave them the subtle hint of starting to clean up. What a good idea that was! M. then came upstairs and helped.
Therefore, when I finally woke up the next day (that first wake up at 7 a.m. for a pint of water didn't count) I only had to rinse off every plate in the house to put in the dishwasher and hand wash all the crystal wine glasses. Apparently we have at least 25 crystal wine glasses (there were a couple more ugly strays up in the cupboard I am glad we didn't get into). There would have been 27 but fot the 2 that were broken the night before. I stared at those glasses with a pounding head, wishing more had broken the night before.
Two things are clear to me. We have too many dishes and crystal glasses, and we just threw one hell of a party. I might never recover.
