Trick or Treat!
Ok here's the plan, Teri and I for years have been toying with the idea of having a Halloween party. You know invite a few friends, including ones we don't talk to much, some work people, and maybe some others. Get them all together in our place, we have a large house--perfect for parties, and just have a good time. However, for whatever reason, we always talk about it real loud in September and then quietly forget about it come October. I don't know, maybe Teri's and Josh's October birthdays intrude. Whatever the reason we always seem to never do it. Well this year Teri has sworn she is going to have the party. Me? I don't count as I don't have that many friends and very few work people I would want to see at a party. I am the social hermit of the two of us, Teri the outgoing, gregarious one. She is already totalling up the teachers she will invite, while giving short shift to her old co-workers that she does not keep in touch with. My problem? I don't want to have a teacher party and want to try to balance out the guest list, but the people I would invite I could count on one hand as I have either lost touch with my old friends or they have moved out of town. Should I just give up on it and accept the fact that I will have a bunch of drunken teachers talking shop while I mope, geeking out with Martin if he goes, or should I invite people who I haven't talked to in years and who might be mystified at receiving an invite an invite to a party from me. I mean its not like its a Christmas card or something.

I was going to ask, if Teri's planning to invite any hot phys-ed teachers, can I go? But... if Martin's going to be there,
CAN I GO??? :D
I say stir up the party and invite those you haven't seen in a long time. You don't want to hear teacher shop-talk all night, right? :) Either way, I'm sure you'll have a good time.
RT -- Hmmm no hot male phys ed teachers...she teaches Elementary School and yes you are welcome to go. When you coming to Vegas?
Loraloo -- I assume you will be there if we invite you?
Vavoom -- I am sure Martin and I will geek out anyways, either that or we will talk football or both.
Woot, geek out with Martin! Then Teri could stare at you from across the room and giggle and tell her friends how you're such a geek with that look in her eyes.
Aww, I can picture it now.
SO, what will you and Teri be dressing up as?
I actually am not against hearing their shop talk but to avoid it, you may need to create events to disrupt the flow of those conversations toward work. We'll work on something. I am thinking events like the zombie penis throw, the mystery meat buffet (dye some pork green, etc.) or even a dancefloor setup. Lots of options.
You don't have to worry, most teacher can't afford the gas it will cost to drive the 30 miles each way to get to our house from my school.
Jenn -- You can't picture Martin and I geeking out until you have met us. I am going as Adam and Teri is going as Eve...j/k...we haven't decided yet.
Martin -- I won't even ask what the zombie penis throw is...
I'll find a babysitter, just to participate in the zombie penis throw. Remind me to eat before arriving.
Vavoom - Actually, that would be bad tossing (off) arms that caused the peni to detatch in the first place.
Martin -- Peni?
Isn't that plural for penis. I dunno. I try not to be to close to any others.

Peni sounds right. Although, my co-worker "Penelope" also goes by "Peni" pronounced "Penny." HAHAHAH! Did I mention she's a feminist? HAHAHAHA!
Thanks, Martin. I shall giggle everytime I have to call her name.
