I just don't understand how you can send out almost 60 invitations and barely get back 15 RSVP's. What is wrong with people. How hard is it to pick up the phone or email and say I am sorry I can't make it or Yes I will be there? Nothing irritates me more. It's rude. Are you waiting for another offer to come in that is better than the invitation you just opened? Unbelievable.
Needless to say the RSVP count at the wedding shower was an embarrassment. Not only for me but I am sure it made the guests of honor sad. So today I went to the post office and mailed out 26 invites for a baby shower I am hosting at the end of the month. Let's see how many people RSVP out of this group. If I get less than 15% I am calling Miss Manners.

Crazy Themed Events and More!
Wow how pathetic am I? It's been all summer since I last posted. That's what happens when all of a sudden you are actually required to work for your paycheck. Let's see how do I pick up after my last post. Let's start with Cion.
Cion is still at Tracy Scott Salon and busy as ever. It's the start of his busy season which should make him very happy. He is also fast approaching his birthday on October 27. So if you are reading this and know my favorite person text him and send him good vibes for his upcoming day. Oh and he hasn't been cooking much just pouring concrete and of course drinking with me. Don't ask.
Here is a rundown of upcoming events I am hosting:
October 3 - Wedding Shower for Carl and Damian, Fall Themed
Menu: Sandwich Wraps, Spinach Dip served with crackers, Veggie Tray and Mini Quiche
October 17 - Monthly Supper Club Mediterranean Theme
I have appetizers so will probably do a hummus dip spread and cucumbers served with a mint yogurt and topped with a grilled shrimp
October 24 - Halloween Couples Baby Shower
Menu: Tea Sandwiches and a bunch of Halloween inspired finger foods
Secret Surprise Dinner Party for 14 people (still trying to play with menu, more on that later)
Ugh what do you cook for 14 people when it is teh same day as your puppies Halloween party?
November 14 - Renaissance Festival Camp Out for 30+
Old standy Burgers and Hotdogs
Turkey Day - 18 people
Brined Citrus Turkey with a champagne gravy, buttermilk mashed potatoes, slow cooked green beans, Cion's special recipe dressing, cranberries, brussel sprout coleslaw, deviled eggs, relish tray, pies, pies and more pies.
Tonight well I am craving a Filet. Wish we had a Sprouts here in Houston but unfortunately we do not so I will settle for Central Market. Maybe Dave will read this and also pick up a bottle of Joseph Phelps. I would but my local Specs closed down thanks to our wonderful City.
Cheers!
