So we decided that since it’s been a while that we’ve had people over, that we would host a labor day bbq at our house. Well, we got a bit carried away, and when I was sending the invitation on facebook, we invited over 40 people! Good news is only half was able to come haha. That’s right, we had 20-some people at our house, including their kids, and 3 dogs. My coworker has 2 springer spaniels so I told her she absolutely must bring them so mine can meet others of her breed. It was fun! Hubby grilled up some ribs and burgers and his friend from law school came over early and cooked links. I made way too many sides and even got creative and made some Russian dishes. Just about everything got eaten during the party though. People didn’t leave till 10pm! It was insane. I was exhausted the next day; a total zombie at work. All that hard work cleaning my house during the weekend before the party - right now my house is a muddy disaster but I haven’t had time to swiffer or sweep up. That’s what this weekend will be for, sorta. I have so many plans this weekend. But the bbq was a total success and I’m really excited that we have made so many friends here that we could fill the house like that.

Let’s see, tonight I’m going out to see the new movie Whiteout with my friend Nicole that I met a few weeks ago at meetup. The meetup was at the Chocolate Bar to discuss Twilight, so of course I went to it hah. Nicole told us there that she actually was about to have her vampire novel published! And, she’s practically my neighbor (anyone who lives within a 10 mile radius is pretty much my neighbor with how big the Houston area is). For now her book is only released online as an ebook, but will come out in paperback later this year or early 2010. I of course already bought the book, but haven’t had time to read it yet. It’s called RELEASE. If you’re interested in another vampire-themed book written by someone I actually know (I’ve never known a real published author in person before), check it out at the ebookundead.com publisher site. It sells as a PDF of less than 300 pages for about $10 (US). Hopefully my little plug here will get her some more sales. Anyway, we’re going to go see Whiteout at the Alamo Drafthouse cinema (I like that place cause they serve food!) and we’ll have dinner at the show. Hubby it out of town today and tomorrow for military stuff.

Tomorrow I’m going to the Houston Museum district open house, where all the museums are free and there is even a free shuttle to take you between them. I’m going with a women’s meetup. Then when hubby comes home that evening we have plans to go see the new 9 movie. Sunday I have theater tickets to GREASE! Then, Sunday night is the True Blood season finale! It will be awesome! [By the way, the season premiere of Supernatural was awesome and the series premiere of Vampire Diaries was pretty good as well. Yay for good Thursday night TV] Monday I’m going to girls nite out at the Melting Pot. So wow, I’m quite busy back to back like that.

P.S. 9/11 - Never forget.
