Parrrrrtay!

How much fun are home parties that take place out in the majestic rolling hills Chelsea, Quebec? Even more fun when it’s a B-eautiful log home on a remote cul de sac, decked out with Christmas lights and hosted by two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, Dr.R and his vivacious wife. In addition to this, then there’s The Crowd: massage therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, energy healers, a woman who helps people work through sacred contract transitions, yogis, a man who has a computer program that reads your aura (we talked for quite a while), a jewelry maker, a woman who works with essential oils, another woman who wrote an excellent humorous cook book with her sister and they are now hosting a TV cooking show and many more people that I didn’t get to talk to. It’s really interesting learning about other people’s beliefs and what they do for a living. The food was superb – everything from pretzels to dried squid, warm artichoke dip, holistic, organic – you name it. The windows which overlooked the property’s mountain view on the hilltop were adorned with apples on the ledges, some cored and used as candle holders. We played games, whacked a piñata, Dr. R headed to the second floor to pull on the rope while guest were blind folded, spun and released swinging! I’m proud to say that I even won a prize for going low-low-low under the limbo pole ~ I didn’t know I could go that low, especially in the company of yoga bendy people ~ challenging to do in a skirt! … I gracefully skinned my knee giving one for the team on my fifth or sixth pass under the pole as it reached a dangerously low height, but I didn’t give up! ~ I’m sure my wounds will heal nicely in this company and I made sure to ask the chiropractor if he works tomorrow when I’m seized up in bed from folding my body in half. Upon leaving Mrs. R was giving a smashing lip sink to the Grease Soundtrack on top of the fireplace ledge while her hubby tape-recorded her performance. If I can say so, she's an absolute babe - her and her husband make a great match. What a fun crowd! I’m writing this completely exhausted and ready for bed, yet totally inspired and focused on “The Secret”. Gotta hit the sheets. …. Too tired to write anymore of this totally self indulgent post, but too much fun not to record it while it’s still fresh …
