Pretty flowers! Right? And did Bossy mention they were free because she grows them in her garden? And did Bossy mention she put them on her table to distract you from the paperwork collecting on Bossy’s laptop?
Because the news gets worse. You are looking at Bossy’s receipts for the Election night party she is throwing with her friend Martha.
Food = $55.15
Alcohol = $67.77
Grand total = thank gah they only elect presidents every four years.

November 4, 2008 at 8:56 amLet’s put a positive spin on this, please. How much food did you score for $55.15? Also, will you be able to use any pantry items to supplement?
I feel the need to justify every purchase these days.

November 4, 2008 at 11:22 amThis will be a dawning of a new age in American politics, so grand party is a must!

November 4, 2008 at 11:24 amShould have scrapped the food. Put it all toward the damn liquor store bill from Team Bossy cuz hello – I don’t want them sending Guido after me…

November 4, 2008 at 12:01 pmThis really isn’t so bad. It’s a party! A special occasion! Which I assume will include other people. I mean, it’s not like Bossy will be imbibing all by herself. Right?

November 4, 2008 at 12:25 pmWell….. you really could divide it out amongst the number of attendees..
Or you could charge cover for the event? Maybe give a not-so-subtle hint by strategically placing a “Poverty Party” donation jar near, say – the liquor??
Besides – Getting out of debt is like being on a diet – you need to leave room for celebrations and some spontaneous events!
Lisa says
November 4, 2008 at 12:35 pmyou can always put out a jar for campaign contributions……
Lisa says
November 4, 2008 at 12:54 pmSeems like the booze should be a little more than that, is that just for your part of the consumption???
har har har..

November 4, 2008 at 4:45 pm…That’s all for the pre-Election Party…where’s all the booze for when they announce Barack Obama is now President of The United States? Hmmm? Gotta have backups girl…better get yourself on out and stock up!
…Blessings that this is a true defining day of change… :o)

November 4, 2008 at 6:59 pmwell, if you can’t spend a little on the election results, what can you? oh, I know, spend it on me for our 41st anniversary! happy day!

November 4, 2008 at 7:14 pmIt’s gonna be worth every penny. I am so wishing I was having an alcohol fueled election-night party, rather than nursing a fat, hungry newborn while nursing a glass of wine.

November 5, 2008 at 10:11 amWith your liquor bill being so low I have to ask, “Did you buy anything for your guests?” Man, a BYOB election party. hahahahah.
Seriously though. I think a tip jar or a donation jar strategically placed near the ‘bar’ would have been perfectly appropriate. You don’t need to say a word about it. Just leave it out. I am also a fan of pot lucks so to keep food costs down you could have send out e-invites for a potluck asking people to bring their favorite “good luck” dish.
