Same jeans

Things are mad here. We would suggest that when you're organizing your mother's surprise 60th birthday party, you actually bring the bag filled with those party things you've spent weeks preparing to the party. This way you don't leave them in your backyard, discover this after driving two hours to the party venue, and then have to drive all the way back to Toronto (and then back to the venue again) which means you'd drive about 600 km in one Saturday afternoon. This would probably also ensure that you're not insane at said party, spearheading its descent into rampant debauchery. Who would ever have thought a 60th birthday party could get so out of control? It really truly did, my mother perfectly surprised, particularly to see my sister who lives on the other side of the country. A house full of bright lights, loud music and garish prints, and full of friends, and full of family, and we're truly fortunate these last two are one and the same. (I would post pictures, but they're unsightly).
