Let's get this party started!

[Ladyhawk Baggins]

It might end up wet... maybe by that lovely blinking tree...

[Simpetarwen]

(((((Avondster)))))

*Sneaks up and under the whirling arms for a BIG HUG!!*

Say, the tulips are a lovely touch!

BTW, Gandalf the Gray (sic) has moved into your bedroom. I'm sure you won't mind...

[Avondster]

sleep on that air mattress of yours? He's not twenty anymore, you know!

Hey, I'm getting my own flat soon! Take your air mattress and you can have a sleepover at my place this time!

[True-Hearted Easterling]

At least Haldir's January, so you'll be starting the year off right.

TWO MONTHS with HALDIR!?! How could such a wonderous thing happen?!?!

*Turns calendar pages*

Ewww! You meant the OTHER elf!! Harumph! :roll:

"THE" Elf, indeed!!

*snirkle* :grin:

[True-Hearted Easterling]

Now that I'm back I'll have some tea and scones with blackberry jam. Yum!

Sorry, I'm a bit late. Needed to finish filling the basket I brought.

Sauted mushrooms.
Blackberry jam with scones.
Seasoned potatoes.
And fresh bread and cheese.

WOOHOO!!! It is good to be home. :big grin:

[Simpetarwen]

Can you whip some up in a flash then? I believe the refrigedador is fully stocked with every flavor you might need. The punch bowl is under the counter. Thanks, love!

[True-Hearted Easterling]

*accidentally sprays everyone with tea upon seeing this bit of stereotypical Dutchness*

*puts tulips in every glass*

*does clog dance*

*imitates windmill*

[Simpetarwen]

Did you notice that this Karaoke machine has been upgraded to include jukebox functions, too? And it doens't even need money to play - just punch in the numbers, and voila! music!!

[hobbitgirly]

I'de thought I join the party
Nice music I'll go get me some punch

[True-Hearted Easterling]

The party tree looks fabulous!!!

And if we can eat real doves stuffed into mushrooms, we can certainly eat penguins made out of olives. Eat them, eat them!

By the way, those penguins are soooooooooo adorable! How can I eat them??

[frodosmiss]

I didn't bring the punch, but I did make this ice ring. Frodo wanted me to keep it clear...he thought my idea to dye it gold was in poor taste and it kinda freaked him out a little...

[Simpetarwen]

No, he's probably only 13 or so.

This Gandalf is a poor stray kitty cat that literally walked up to me in traffic no less, right in the middle of the lane in the middle of the block. He only weighed 4.8 punds (should've weighed at least 10) and was 12% dehydrated. $500 of vet bills later, and I still can't find his owners. He is the sweetest of cats, very loving and obviously has been well loved. A true Lap-Kitty, wants to sit in my lap and purr when he isn't eating. Come to think of it, he's more hobbit with his appetite than wizard, but because he is gray with a white star on his chest, I call him Gandalf.

Anyway, Queen Chessie will only hiss and spit at him, so he has the guest suite to his exclusive self at this time.

[True-Hearted Easterling]

Oh, the golden ice ring is a nice touch, especially if we just dye up the punch so it looks like molten lava.

Anyone got a spare Gollum action figure we can add to the mix?

[frodosmiss]

[Simpetarwen]

Haldir is January.
