Bob's annual 50th birthday party (#9) went off perfectly this last Saturday, and I will post photos to prove it tonight. (I believe
On the plus side, everyone did amazing costumes, we had an awesome time, and I actually managed to pull off an okay Death Star menacing Ewoks on Endor cake. I'm holding out for a spot on Cake Wrecks.
Pictures this evening, I promise. I was too tired to download the pics from my camera.
I am still too tired to do anything much; I had no idea spending a little over an hour frosting a cake would cause so much pain. Live and learn (and stop squeezing icing bags, I guess). But oh, we had fun. There came a point in the party where I was lining up various groups of people in the kitchen (
(Yes, yes, you'll see them this evening. I swear.)
I did my usual costume thing of slapping accessories over a black body suit (seriously, 7 out of the 9 parties, I've worn a black body suit of some type) and calling myself "Random Jedi killed in the Clone Wars", but since I made the cake, I figured I didn't need to do much of a costume. Bob, however - he came up with the idea, and I made him the outfit for Oldie-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Masseuse. Fuzzy slippers (which I finally found Thursday, since I wasn't organized enough to find Yoda or Chewbacca fuzzy slippers), a "back massager" (vibrator, but not - to my mixed relief and disappointment - a really naughty-looking one), and professional wrestler-type lettering on the back of his robe. Very amusing.
The Stormtroopers got a little out of control at one point, and I will treasure the photos forever. I'll be selling them to the highest bidder if any of them ever run for public office.
(Mind you, there are a whole bunch of photos of me out there - fully dressed! - that will probably ensure I'll never be a Supreme Court Justice, either.)
The downside of such a great party is that I need at least a week to recover now - this semi-disability thing sucks rocks on occasion (y'know, a little more than usual). So, nap time.
I swear, pictures later today. It was an awesome party.
