My friend Amy is a party person. Basically, she’s Julie, the Cruise Director, from The Love Boat when it comes to planning get-togethers. I admire the fact that she never seems to stress out and can get a group of super-fun people together at a moment’s notice.
I am absolutely the opposite, and therefore leave all the party planning to her (unfair, I know, but at least I know my limitations). I’ve watched her and her husband renew their wedding vows in front of an Elvis impersonator in their backyard. I’ve celebrated the 100th birthday of her home, and I’ve dressed as a 60s go-go dancer to attend her Halloween bash.
Basically she already has everything she needs to plan a successful soiree: An outgoing personality, an optimistic attitude, plenty of friends, and the ability to just roll with things as they happen. Still, when I came across foryourparty, I thought of her.
Perhaps next time I’m invited across the street for one of her get-togethers, I can provide her with something more than just my sparkling personality (ha!).
