I was laughing at all of them. I just got invited to like the 10th party...and this one was some kind of delightful food party and maybe would have been good. But this is the 2nd time said person has asked me to a party and thankfully I can't go do to a night class again. Actually, I would prob. go just to see the ladies/preschool mommies. But, what I really like is getting together with my girls group from high school (after 20 yrs) about once a month and going walking or kayaking or for a drink or a pedicure. We have a good time and get out of the house and no boring sales pitch!! You guys above are hilarious. I was laughing at all of them.

I hate the pressure of trying to figure out what overpriced crap I don't need to buy so my friend can get the free hostess gift. Did you realize that we can get every single one of those party items at the local dollar store (except maybe the sex toys...you probably want to buy quality on those)?

My friend holds candle parties every year. Every freaking year. Right before christmas, in case I'm interested in spending 8 billion dollars on an ugly pillar candle, base sold separately. Like I don't have at least a million other ways to spend my limited christmas funds but on candles. "Here Boys, go play with fire! Merry Christmas!" Ug, I agree.

I've been vocal enough about what a ripoff Tupperware is and then it's progressed from there. I don't give a rip what you are "showing" in your home. Even if I do come just to see your new furniture, I'm not buying a damn thing. And yes I'll have a drink thank you!

I swear sometimes you are looking right thru my eyes. I HATE those parties..., except the sex toys parties.., but no one I know is above G-rated anymore so those are out. The only ones I'll go to at all are Pampered Chef and that's only to buy my hubbie toys so he'll keep cooking for me. Somehow he's under the delusion that cooking is fun and far be it for me to step on those rose coloured glasses! Mebbe those parties wouldn't be so heinous if we didn't have to talk and pretend to smile. Untitled, are you channelling me again? I swear sometimes you are looking right thru my eyes.

Pampered Chef? check! Tupperware? check! Usborne books? check! Longaberger? check. Stampin Up? check! However, I won't do jewelry, home decorating stuff, vitamins, sex toys, or the mother of all evils: Mary Kay!

I was invited to one of these jewelry parties this weekend declined. Is it a coincidence that this is the same woman who fills my inbox with chain letters? HA!
