Contrast

Tonight, a party for a beloved friend and covenmate, held in the house of a beloved ex-. This party, full of my kind of people, rife with the DJ stylings of ert, thrumming more softly now (we're all in our thirties now; we're tired at midnight) with the rhythms of dance, the nostalgia of great 80s and 90s music, the halls creeping with cats suspicious of the shoe piles in the hall.

From this party, wearing the same dress and shoes I wore last night, I come home refreshed, slightly tipsy, energized by contact, feeling held and loved.

And off to bed I go, feeling the same things.

Wow, that sounds truly fabulous. Might I ask whose party it was without the potential trappings of, "Hey, I didn't know about this one?"

Sure; it was a surprise birthday for redheadedmuse.

Oh yum, I love a party among good friends and soul kin.

Good to see you are feeling better,

Love you! I'm glad that party was good... I'm really sorry I had to miss it, Mom and Mark were having his birthday celebration date time, so I didn't have baby care for the eve, alas.

It was lovely to see you, and thank you again for soothing my little to sleep at the BBQ! It's sweet how she nestles into you, I have some very cute photos I'll post soon.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the party.

The DJing totally could have been ert, but amadea actually picked all the music.

Sober and back at work today, but I shan't forget thee.

30 something

I hear you! Being 30 something rocks! I like it a lot better than my 20s. Being 30-ish is more purposeful and peaceful to me. Carpe Diem!
