It’s a Bloody Mary Kind of Day

It’s 80 degrees on the west coast.  The windows are open, got a nice cross draft.  Layla’s sunbathing on the balcony.  I already cleaned up after the party and just sat down to read the Sunday Paper.  

First thought, it’s a bloody mary kind of day.

Our party last night was a huge success.  I had so much fun and I made it past 1AM, although I pulled one of my “going to the bathroom” stunts and didn’t make it past the bed, or couch.  Our couch… it’s my husbands pride and joy.  It’s a custom-made 11×11 foot, brown micro suede with a chaise on one end.  It’s not a couch, it’s a lounge and I often fall asleep on it during parties.  I’m sad because we bought it from Eastman’s in Culver City and they are going out of business… Anyway, I ended up upside down on the chaise, fully dressed spooning with Layla.  I know, classy.

So as I sit and think of how much I love our friends while enjoying the gentle breeze and chirping birds, I urge you, too.  Put down the paper, shut your computers, pick up the phone and call your friends and family, today is a day to be enjoyed with others outside and with a healthy pitcher of Bloody Marys.  That’s just what I’m going to do.
