GTG - Saturday, April 28, 2007 @ Betsy's House (You're all more than welcome to bring your wedding albums/videos/etc to show off and share!)

I'll take initiative here, since well, I would be honored to throw a GTG at our new home to spend an afternoon and evening with my lovely ladies.

So, I was thinking a weekend b/c we'd have more time to sit around and talk without having to worry about costs (for those of us who are new homeowner's or in the process of buying) or being kicked out of a restaurant for staying late.

So, what works for all of you?

Oh, I guess I should add that I live in Port Jefferson Station close to Rte 347.

Okay, so based on people's responses, let's make it Saturday, April 28, 2007. Let's make the party start around 4pm and if people want to come later, they can, since I'm sure we'll be around ALL night!

So, who's definitely coming and what are you bringing to share?

PS 1: It's okay to bring wedding albums, videos, etc, since I know more of us may have that stuff come the end of April.

PS 2: Send me an FM if you're coming, so I can send you directions.

Oh!!!!! I did forget that popcorn makes me want to hurl. If I'm in a building where someone is popping popcorn I must evacuate. DH was melting butter one night and I found out that's the problem. Melted butter smell. Who the heck knows why? I eat butter in dishes, or in cookies. But once you heat it alone, my baby revolts.

I pretty much eat anything.

I am contemplating a broccoli/rice side dish. Does everybody like garlic? What about soy sauce? Comments?

I'm allergic to garlic, but don't let that stop you..

Ooh!!! Good to know. Is it something I can put on the side for others to try, or just better not to have it at all?

Ah, I completely forgot about drinks. Yes, Sophie, bring some soda to share and I'll make sure to have some here too. Chips and dip are good too.

Once we get closer to the date and I see what people are bringing, I'll have a better idea of what I'll need. Then, I'll let you know what could help.

I just bought another candy basket from my favorite store. I am bringing it to a GTG for Easter and my B-day today (hidden message, today is my B-day). They make the baskets with any candies I pick. They have chocolates, nuts, jelly beans, gummy everything, lots of the stuff from childhood and all kinds of chocolate covered things (pretzels are actually really good). I was thinking of getting a basket from there to bring to Betsy's. Any special requests?

WOW! I love the sound of 'chocolates, nuts, jelly beans, gummy everything, lots of the stuff from childhood and all kinds of chocolate covered things' I'm game for any or ALL of that!
