I found an awesome teapot!

How freaking neat is that?!

So yeah I went op shopping with my Nana and found this wicked tea pot masquerading as a doughnut haha.

"Why on earth were you going op shopping and why prey tell did you buy a tea pot?" you ask, well!

My 21st is coming up on Sept 9th so I'm having a themed party on the 11th.

The theme is Burlesque Masquerade Wonderland. I wanted something I could go way over the top with but couldn't pick just one of those so combined all three.

The tea pot comes in with the lay out of the thing.

I'm going to have the hall set out like a giant version of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party and have lots of tables and a tea set at each one with cocktails in tea pots for everyone to drink.

Now, I can't have just any tea pots at a Mad Hatter party, can I?

No. I can not.

For it would not be the same, dear readers!

The best part about the Mad Hatter set up is that none of the cups match their saucers and none of the doilies match and there's funny coloured tableclothes and the tea pots are all kinds of crazy shapes and sizes.

Hence my immediate love for the above tea pot which I got from the Te Amonga Hospice store in Petone today for $10 (for you yankees that's about $5 US,Europeans, about 3 pounds)

I spent about $200 on supplies including (but definitely not limited to) tea pots, tea cups, doilies, streamers, crazy string, tableclothes, balloons, flower petals and other sprinkle-able confetti type stuff.

I am yet to confirm a venue for the party. But this is a small hiccup in my otherwise immaculate planning.I figure there's no point having a venue if you don't have decorations! Gosh!

I may even have free music, a friend of mine has recently discovered a love for dj-ing ad is therefor pretty keen to showcase his skills at any possible opourtunity.His one condition is I supply his alcohol. I think I can handle this simple request.

I had a Kate moment today when I discovered someone I had never met had decided to hit "Attedning" on the Facebook event page for my party. Luckily I noticed before it got anymore than one person. 

I'm so glad I added the "If I don't know you, you will not be allowed in" disclaimer to the event description.

Oi Vey.

INSERT RANDOM TANGET HERE!

I ran out of things to say about my party but didn't feel this post was long enough to publish so I figured random tangent time. Afterall, if you're a follower of a blog and there's a noteable gap from one post to the next, you want each post to be fairly significant to a) make up for your lack of new reading material between posts   and   b) give you more stuff to re-read should the worst happen and there be too long a wait between posts.

I've been waiting for Allie to put a new post up on Hyperbole And A Half since the 11th.Agh!

It feels like forever! I finally caught up on all the archive stuff and now I just can't find anything else to fill the void.Nothing quite matches the epicness of Allie's blog. She is a whole different kinda awesome.

She should seriously start paying me for all the shameless plugging I do for her blog....But no, the world is not quite that awesome.

However, the world is awesome enough to give me a gorgeous day of non-stop sunshine but and hold off the rain until I was curled up in bed with my electric blanket on and my cat snuggling me warmly. 

It's currently bucketing down outside and I'm all cosy in bed with the duvet (comforter) pulled up to my chin n_n This is helped greatly by my Dad's awesome decision to get wireless broadband so I can have 20gig a month of wireless goodness from wherever in the house I want. Should I get adventurous I can also go all the way to the back of the yard and still get it, yay!

Heaven help those poor bastards stuck using dial up, or without internet at home.

I can just tell I'm going to get all sorts of hate mail now "There are people in the world who don't even have a roof over their heads or food to eat or clothes to wear and there you are saying how awful it is to have dial up.You don't know what hardship is!"

You know what I say to those people? You, clearly, can't afford wireless broadband.You have my pity.
