Friday-Saturday-Sunday-Forever..........
I think I will now start changing my "costume"
during the intermissions and just possibly........
start a game of "Ring-Around-The-Hatsies"
(you know............ while you're all going around in circles to the music......... I'll be stealing your hats!)
The Mad Hatter (that would be ME ya'll) is having a Tea Party (cause that's what Mad Hatters DO!) and ALL of you are invited! Naturally I'll be serving tea, both iced and hot as being mad tends to leave me a little indecisive from time to time.........
........ and some ladyfingers (whatever does one put on the bread to "accompany" the taste of finger?) of which my guests will NOT be asked to contribute as I know how important it is to have all one's digits attached at a tea party because however else could you manage to get that signature pinkie up in the air at the appropriate "I'm WAY cooler than you" degree of tilt....
hmmmmmmmm..........
Tilted pinkies........ tilted Hatter...........
....... tilted pinball machines.......
all is quite well with my frame of mind (read: TILTED!).
Now where was I?............ Oh yes, food..........
It appears we will also be having a lovely cockatiel quiche as Penelope has kindly laid another egg for us in her box in the office (to which she has returned after breakfast and a "birdlike" sip of water)........ and no, I will not be inviting her to the party. One Mad Hatter is more than enough thank you very much!.......
But if we have a dish of sunflower seeds and raisins I'm reasonably certain the somewhat corpulent Evil Chin would LOVE to attend!........
Oh....... and I think the music should be:
(drum-roll pluheeeeeeze)
The Flight of the Bumblebee!
I must however........
insist that everyone who attends BYOH!
(Bring Your Own Hat)
*big smile, showing lots of teeth with the accompanying rolling of fingers and the exactly appropriate amount of eyeball rolling.........
and this would be a really good moment to consider whether or not you REALLY want to attend a party with a Hatter WHO IS MAD!*

Oh yes... Is Christina thinking she needs to call those little men in white coats to hall us away... Hee Hee... So what\'s on the menu today... I did the country thing today... black eyed peas and corn bread and sweet potatoes and such... but now I want something a bit more uptownish... ohhhh drinks... yes... oh... we\'re having tea... hmmmm I\'ve got it... please a wee drop of brandy in my tea... ahhhh yesss... so good... and how is everyone today??? did we change clothes... I do hope so... and aren\'t we all glad we use dial... oh my goodness being insane is quite delightful... the band... ok boys... let her rip... Frankie and Johnnie were lovers..... twirl the boa... thank you for this lovely cloche... now what is a cloche??? I\'m sure its a hat... it might be like that one Doris Day wore in one of her movies??? Ahhhh well... hate to confess darlins... but before I took up with Buddy... I was a farm girl... you know... path out back... uh huh... bathe in the creek... cook on wood stove... but we had running water as my mama would explain... hey Elissa run go fetch a pail of water... or hey David... Whooo I\'m having too much fun... talking too much... brandy does that to me you know....
Ooooooooh, ooooooooh
I want champagne AND A TURBO STRAW!
And I think this is now officially a \"girls only\" Tea Party!
Later we\'ll be burning evil husbands and meaningless platitudes
in a barn-sized bonfire effigy!
Wooooo Hoooooooo!!!
FLAME ON GIRLS!
Dropping off the meaningless platitudes on my way to change ensembles...I\'m thinking that my black velvet toque with chenille bird will do for the topper...now for a frock...oh, look at the clock...have to hurry...she\'s off in a flurry...
JUST IN TIME LADIES. I WOULDN\'T WANT TO MISS THE BURNING OF THE HUSBANDS!!!! INSTEAD OF TEA I\'D LOVE TO HAVE SOME VODKA ON ICE PLEASE!! LOTS AND LOTS, AND THEN WE\'LL START THE FIRE HEHEHEHEHE!!!!!!!!!! GREAT PARTY JANINE!!!!!! BEING CRAZY CAN BE OH SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ADDED MISS PENELOPE\'S FEATHERS TO MY HAT, IT IS SO BEATIFULL. I\'M WEARING MY YELLOW CHIFFON DRESS, BUT I AM BAREFOOT.....YOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE DRINK, QUITE REFRESHING, I\'M READY FOR ANOTHER PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think we should ALL go barefoot and paint our toes
with all the loose feathers lying around!!!
Excuse me........ Evil Chin is looking less corpulant......
I MUST FEED HIM!!!!
Perhaps one of the spare scones.......
Whooo... crawling out from under the piano... oh my... some additional feathers here in my boa... geez... where\'s everybody at... hmmmm I better get on my broom and fly away home and sleep a while... shoo... I want a bath... dear me... hmmmm I love to think what Richard will say as I come strolling in... Oh well... you know what they say... girls will be girls...
oh.... a murder mystery.... we could put our nomination for victim in a cloche... that\'s a hat I think... nobody has told me... of course I\'ve been a bit under the weather (piano)... I might have been told and forgotten... so anyhoo... then we draw a name out and we can devise how we\'re going to do him/her/him.... in... what a good book we could write together... I think it\'d be at least as good as the cookbook murders or the cat series of murder mysteries... not of course that we\'d ever think of murdering him... oh or her..... ..... or him.... in real life...
Oh my, Carasmom, I\'ve forgotten to tell you about your cloche! Please pardone moi...a cloche is your topper, a close fitting hat of the gangster moll type, vintage 1920s-30s. Yours is a sexxxxy black beaded and spangled silk number...so French! You look stunning!!
And it\'s important to add that I don\'t let ANYONE play a piano
that one of my guests is sleeping under......
it just wouldn\'t be hospitable!
Now....... who wants to throw something (or someone perhaps?)
onto the fire?!!
