nothing but a good time

Well another weekend is almost upon us.

Work has been excruciatingly slow this week.  During season you pray for a little slow time, and then when it finally hits you're looking for anything to do to pass the time.  At least we have an internet connection here that really isn't moderated - thank god for small favors.

Anyways, my wife and I are hosting our first party since we've moved to Florida seven years ago.  Up until March, we were living in an apartment on the second floor.  While the view was great (we were on the river) the apartment itself was old and poorly insulated.  As such, in the summer the indoor temp rarely got below 80 degrees.  

So now we are renting a house in Central Sarasota, with the room and climate control to accomodate a nice group gathering.  We'll be having about 5 couples over tomorrow night for drinks, food, and god willing some gaming.  My wife finished making her kick ass salsa that mixed with some beer swilling creates almost a kind of anal napalm... Not really looking forward to Sunday Morning.  I helped her by cutting up some Jalapenos, and being the culinary retard that I am didn't really think about what I was handling until I started getting a weird burning sensation on my hands... UM OUCH!    My wife just looked at me and shook her head.  Thanks for getting my back there babe while I do battle with the terrorist veggies in my house.  She is also making some crabmeat-stuffed mushrooms.  I fucking LOVE those things.

Tonight when I get home I've got to help her get the lights strung up on the Patio, plug in the man fridge (which is outside and is only used for surplus beer storage) to get it cooled for tomorrow, and mow the lawn.  The ony decision I  have yet to make is what kind of beer I'm pickling myself with.  I'm torn between picking up a 12 pack of bass, a 12 pack of Newcastle, or go balls to the wall and buy one of those Heineken mini kegs (Heini is about the only commercial beer I will drink)  I guess the deciding factors will be:

A.) How obnoxious I feel like being and

B.) If I want to stay in my clothes all night. - I have a tendancy to lose articles of clothing primarily shirts, that I know about anyways.

Since my digital camera is on the fritz, I'm hoping one of our guests will bring one so I can get some pics up here on Monday.  I'm not too worried about what the guests think because two of the couples that are coming are people that we go out with a lot and aren't easily offended. Thank god.  We tend to get a little nutty.  My only real concern is one of our neighbors..her bedroom is on the side of the house where our patio resides.  We have a really nice privacy fence that encompasses our back yard and that particular side of the house, but won't do a whole lot to screen out the noise.    I think she works nights,.. at least I hope so.  If not, I may walk over there this evening and just give her a head's up.  Maybe invite her over for a drink.   I might have my wife go over and talk to her.  I'm pretty sure she is gay, and have caught her looking at my wife.  so Michelle may have to take one for the team in order to keep the 5-0 off our backs :^)

With that being said, I'm sure with this crew coming over I should have some great stories to tell on Sunday when I'm drinking my coffee, and killing the villagers with my anal napalm.
