Oscar Party
Sunday was the Oscar party, and the cake read 8th Annual Oscar Party, when Donna wanted it to read 80th Annual Oscars. Oops! I think it’s been 8 years now, which is cool, and I do believe that our friend Dana has been to every single party. This was a wonderful party, and I think part of that was because we had it catered. We also hired a babysitter for Claire, which is the coolest thing. Hire a babysitter while you are home. Wow. We had about 25 people show up, and Donna and I tied for first place this year with 13 each! We have never tied, and this year may have been my highest scoring year yet. I am an idiot thought since I would’ve had 15 but I picked There Will Be Blood for best director and film — do NOT ask me why! I mean I knew No Country would win, but I think I was too busy preparing to be smart about it. Damnit. So I picked the wrong films. I had MCC friends come, and Basha friends, and friends from neither place. My student teacher brought me some home brewed beer that I am still enjoying, and our friend brought their one year old who enjoyed playing with Claire half the evening.
