The night began perfectly, with the full moon out (my favorite).
With all of my parties, there's quite a bit of set up to do prior to the party actually beginning (true for more parties). Michael T was here, and he agreed to help me clean my home, as well as another friend helped do the back area, where people always end up chatting while sitting in the twinkle lights, candles and tables. I have to tell you all, if you've never had an X-Sea Org member Clean your house, you've missed something amazing.
In the Sea Org, they're taught to "White Glove" ...and of course Hubbard was a loon at it, so they are dead serious about it. I've known people to be sent to Ethics, put it "Treason" for flunking their "White Glove". I've had 3 X-Sea Org members help me clean, and it's always a ~totally~ fantastic experience. (Granted, he said his Mom had him clean that way, and mine did too, but this has a special perfection that is above the call :)
I decorated the house with hearts, Valentines bowls, candies, etc. and of course, as always, lots of candles burning.
This party was fantastic! Tons of people came...and a few more than usual. We had one more OT 8 there, and a Class 8 (both no longer with C of S---way to go OSA!)
Actually, much of the party last night were X-Sea Org, with a few X-members, about 4 people no longer with the "Church" <Spit!> and some critics, who are always a riot to hear them chat with the X-Scios, as they're so knowledgeable.
Also, the girl I car pool with came, as she hears all about this stuff, and I wanted her to meet my friends, and see the party. She's helped me find a location for CNN, find a spot for XM Internet radio, and just learns more and more about Scientology daily, and can hardly believe it. She was quite amazing, as she knew so much herself~ We both agreed, it's just fun listening to everyone chat away.
Each person brought some tasty food to eat, and the table was overflowing with delicious food, salads, wraps, dips, fruit salad Michael Pattinson brought and one of the X-members brought the world's greatest cake! (I'm not sure if you want me to say your names, so please do if you'd like to).
As usual, the living room was packed, the dining room filled with tasty foods and drinks, the kitchen always has interesting conversations going there, and finally my back patio was filled with more discussions. The house was rockin!
I love each of these people..........truly it makes my heart sing to see them all together....and hear how much communication, humor and delight occurs when they all get together.
If you've never been to one of my parties, and you'd like to come, give me a call. If you came last night, and you'd like to add any comments to this, please do :)

I rode up from San Diego for the party. (of course, you know that, don't you, OSA) Traffic was Clear until just north of the Firestone building, a landmark 15 minutes south of downtown LA. (Lord and traffic willing, it's 15)
I had to split lanes past downtown LA, then it was smooth sailing, and I got to Tory's a little after the designated target hour. Not quite fashionably late, but when am I ever "fashionable?"
Saw many old friends, met a few new ones, and had a great time! I brought Tory a bag of Meyer lemons; not exactly a party contribution, but fresh off the bush and wonderful for lemonade or lemon merangue pie.
The last people finally doodled off around 2:00 am. It was chilly, so Tory invited me to spend the night. I'd monitored my wine intake and switched to soda, as I planned to drive back down that night. She convinced me to stay, and ride home Sunday, which I did. It was an absolutely delightful ride home, traffic was light and well mannered, and it was warm until Dana Point, where the freeway swings west to parallel the coast. I stopped to put on my fleece underjacket at the rest stop at Pendleton, and was comfy all the rest of the way home.
When I got back here, I called my neighbor to give her some of the fudge Ida made. She told me that, Saturday night, a car pulled in to our driveway, which NEVER happens. When they saw her looking out her window, they left.
Tch, tch. Whatever did you have in mind, OSA? Or was it just a coincidence that someone decided to park in my driveway while I was up at Tory's party?
Cheers to all I saw up there! I had a wonderful time!
