Do you know why I love you guys?

[wordplay]

Because you never invite me to irritating events like jewelry parties. And I really think I might have to go to this one, because I LIKE this woman, and I don't want to snub her invitation. But, god, a jewelry party? REALLY?!

Tell me it's not going to be as ridiculous and insipid as I think it's going to be. Tell me I do not have to spend a ridiculous amount of money on mass-produced sterling silver in order to be a good friend.

(And why the hell are people paying this much for sterling silver? Jesus, doesn't anybody just go to Mexico any more?)

*clings* When we were living in Houston, I expected invitations like this - we were living in that uber-suburb and it was just that kind of place, you know? And I went, and I did the Southern Living thing and the Pampered Chef thing and the Tupperware thing and the scrapbooking thing and the candles and the sex toys (oh, wait, I technically hosted that one, didn't I? BUT THAT WAS FANGIRLS ONLY AND SO TOTALLY DID NOT COUNT!) and that one that was food and the toys and the kids' books and *deep breath* god, I thought I was done with all of that!

Fucking Silpada, man.

LOLOL I'll never live that one down, will I?

But seriously, I don't mind Tupperware, candles, or Pampered Chef because like you, that stuff I will USE. But I'm really not THAT into jewelry and honestly, if it was me, that's what I would tell the person inviting me. I don't know how much jewelry you wear on a daily basis (since really I've mostly seen you on special occasions!), so no idea if that reason would wash...

I had forgotten about that, to be honest, although now I'm glad to remember it. It's the only one of those things I ever hosted. *winz at life*

I could actually stand to hit a Pampered Chef party right about now - I have stuff I need. I have never really felt a need for random sterling silver jewelry purchases, though. I must not be living right.

*grins* Good times, good times.

I must not be living right either, then. I do like sterling silver jewelry, but I don't need a party for that since my purchases happen perhaps twice a year and are usually under $50 - really not enough for a party person to be bothered with!
