Many of you would be silly not to admit that you're party freaks. Even though for the most part, you try to stick to occasional, small impromptu dinner gatherings.
You're probably party control freaks, too. You have to plan it. You have to buy it. You have to rent it.
You don't want to get caught using party supplies bought for you as a surprise because then the real surprise might be how awful everything looks and is. Yikes, not good. Yet, just so you can have another party; that just might not stop you from taking the risk.
Get this. Once, when a woman was caught by her husband planning yet another party, she simply changed her party theme and moved it from their formal dining room into their backyard. How crafty.
They say this woman was born to a prominent Grosse Pointe family. And that she married an investment banker and kept house in a stylish Cape Cod (home) on the far east side. Rumor has it that her first party purchase was a multi-colored china service for 50. I heard she once said, "I spend more money than I should and less than I'd like to. I wouldn't keep my husband if I spent more." True party mavens can certainly get her gist.
So you like to throw a good party every now and again. So what, right?
Your chic party lifestyle gives you an ample opportunity to show off your purchases - both your party decor and your party clothing wardrobes. You theorize that, once you decide to have a party, you have to have the luxury of it all. You loathe the idea of not being in the position to wear what you want in the room that wears what it wants when you entertain. You really have a hang-up about that. You don't want to understand anything less - but you do have a sense of how lucky you are. You should bottle your good fortune.
You're a caterers and party planners dream. Seriously, you should bottle your zeal for parties and give it to a few hundred thousand people around the country as well. Big picture percentage -wise, only a few of you support some of the catering companies and event planning companies out there, and you have your definite favorites; over the years you've hosted hundreds of celebrations, from last minute gatherings to several corporate and charity events per year.
And you know, if you're lucky - after your death - both of your party wardrobes might be called "art" and be shown at a museum somewhere. And although you'll be gone, probably like me, you'll still be planning and throwing parties in the great beyond.
Hey, maybe we should request to be buried naked. There must be a few party stores to outfit us with what we'll need where we're going.

I'm an off-premise catering evangelist/outlaw. I'm a passionista. I'm a paradox. I love when a client hires me to oversee their entire event, from start to finish - because I'm an event planner too.
I'm proud to be mom to Petey Wheatstraw, "the devil's son-in-law" - the best damn Chihuahua North of Mexico. I grew up in Rochester, Michigan. I currently live deep in the heart of Texas. And boy, do I ever miss Xochimilco Super Nachos, the fragrance of Fall and fresh cider and donuts at Paint Creek Cider Mill, and eating a Detroit Lafayette Coney Island when the mood hits me.
It's cool of you to stop by. And you know what's even better? Finding out what you have to say! Hit me up with a comment. Hang with me on Twitter (three accounts, you choose; @TheCaterHater, @CarloAtYourServ, or @CarloAtYourSer2). Or, connect with me using the FB gadget or G+ button on the sidebar. For real, I'd be honored if you'd click on either one.
If you want to ask me anything or want to leave a comment, you know the drill; "Contact".
I like people. Especially, people who want the party truth. Talk to me.
