I heart myself a good party…and so, apparently, does CCL. For me, it’s all about friends, food and fun—and not necessarily in that order. After today’s convo with CCL, I’ve learned all about what components constitute a party in her book...a keyboard, CPU, monitor and mouse. And appetizers for yourself. Yes, friends, it’s true: CCL loves a good party—as long as it’s a virtual party.
Today’s discussion brought back memories of a couple of years ago when she told me she’d be doing virtual trick-or-treating on Halloween. I thought she was kidding. But, no. She took her avatar on a little trick-or-treat adventure in the avatar world she belongs to online. For New Year’s, she did the same thing—and made her favorite appetizers for herself to enjoy. So today when she overheard me confirming a catering order for mine & Doc’s big Christmas party this weekend, she made a beeline right to my desk to tell me that I’m putting in too much effort & instead just need to host a virtual Christmas party next year. My first response: “None of my friends would come.” And then I thought, “Wait. Did you seriously just consider the thought in the first place?!” There is NOTHING worse than when you realize that CCL’s line of thinking is logical to you. Because you know it isn’t to the rest of the world, thus making you just as crazy.
After hearing about how I should make all the same party foods, but for myself instead, and just invite everyone to join me online, I couldn’t have been more happy to see her walk away from my desk. To me, her leaving me alone is a party in and of itself!
I want to know what her party appetizers are. Find out and post them. In fact, you need to start getting CCL's favorite recipes so we can all do a tasting... without cat hair or stray litter. :)
