A Gemini's Life

I love throwing party's. Give me an excuse and I will whip up food and drinks and music and mayhem! I love when people who have never met are introduced and become friends as a result of one of my party's. I love being a good hostess- which is definitely a craft! It isn't easy making sure food gets done, making sure you have enough beverages and supplies for an uncertain amount of people, making sure every person is having a good time and not feeling left out of anything, making sure the music is conducive to a merry mood... and doing it all while making it look effortless.

But I will be temporarily retiring from hostessing. My trust has been gravely broken.  At my most recent party (a massive success according to the above criteria) I had something stolen from me. It wasn't a large item, and relatively speaking not of significant value. It was a gift from someone I love dearly. Someone that I had trusted to come into my home took something from me that someone i love dearly took the time to choose for me as a gift because they wanted to make me happy. I feel so violated and distraught over it that I am taking off my hostess hat for a while.

P.S. I hope to god that I just lost it and it shows up somewhere. I hate the anxiety of not knowing if one of my friends would do something like that. It's horrible.
