    An Amusing and Thought-Provoking Evening…

    So tonight was an interesting interview for the paranormal group to which I belong. A woman has had severe difficulty with a property in her possession and several cases of bad luck which seem too frequent to be coincidence. The place isn’t too horrible though… and the woman herself was quite charming and endearing, not to mention her interesting tale of doing business with Elton John. I seriously look forward to seeing her again… as I’m sure I will in a little over a week at a party.

    I kept Bill company whilst running errands and helped him set up a few things on his enclosed porch. With the date of the party approaching, there are some last-minute things to finish up. Most shouldn’t be too difficult or time-consuming, so I have no worries. By then, I’ll welcome a nice, relaxing evening.

    This is proving to be quite a busy week, yet very interesting in many ways. I’ve said before that this is going to be a major year of change for me.

    I may not have realized quite how many changes might be in store…

    This past weekend was a very busy time for me. Although today is the official day, Saturday night is when I gathered with friends to celebrate my friend Chris‘ birthday.

    I arrived Friday afternoon to help Bill clean and set up for the surprise party. Since the weather was decent enough, I painted most of the enclosed porch as well. I decided against finishing it Saturday morning, just on the outside chance some paint might still be wet when guests arrived. That night, I set up streamers and arranged seating for everyone before finally getting some rest.

    Saturday, I did some baking early in the day, hoping the scent of chocolate chip cookies would disperse before evening. I cleaned the kitchen and living room before relaxing with a movie. Natasha and Robin arrived in time to help blow up balloons and hang them and we killed time chatting about the paranormal. Slowly, people started to arrive… just in time to quietly wait for Chris to come into the room.

    It was a pleasant surprise for him, though the night seemed to pass too quickly. There was food, drink, music and a game of Apples to Apples before midnight passed. The night ended with a movie and fond farewells. But the celebrating isn’t quite over yet: this weekend we’re having dinner with those who couldn’t make it this past weekend.

    It was a bit exhausting but worth all the effort. Sometimes, our friends need a visible example of our appreciation and care. He’s a wonderful man and a true friend. No matter if he’s being serious, goofy, or simply being a good sport and posing for an odd picture, he’s always great company.

    Happy Birthday, Chris. I hope it’s a great week for you!

    It’s Not Officially a Party Until…

    Another crazy and interesting night gone.

    Last night was a surprise birthday party for a psychic friend. Believe me, it’s no small feat to surprise a psychic! She had a feeling that something was up, but we convinced her she was wrong for at least 25 minutes. Not too bad, I must say.

    There was pizza, games, and tons of laughter. We can be an odd bunch at times. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, even if some of the biggest laughs were at the expense of others. Nothing too vicious, mind you. But who can’t laugh when margarita comes out someone’s nose?

    After watching the new episode of Paranormal State, we decided to take some photographs for the ghost hunting website. Some people were picky about their photos, others could care less. Of course, being tall, I suggested getting down on my knees to make it easier. My friend Bill had to make a snide comment about that… but we all laughed at the irony. I even caught a chuckle coming from the quiet straight man/pro wrestler in the corner of the room. I couldn’t tell if he blushed… he’s too tan!

    A few group photos were taken on the couch, as well as a comedic picture of Bill, Chris, and I pretending to be a flamboyant gay ghost-hunting trio. I would post it here, but I’m still waiting to get a copy… perhaps that will be another entry later this week when I have nothing of any consequence to say…

    The evening finally wrapped up around midnight. We all headed for home, exhausted. I checked email one final time and curled up in bed.

    I still have much to accomplish today. Either I’m insanely busy or bored to tears. Everything should slow down by the weekend, and I’m actually looking forward to the peace and quiet…
