Two Gifts

Hello readers! Today I'm gonna write about two of the most awesomely neat-o gifts I got. Can't talk for long, though. It's too quiet around here again, so I'm gonna throw more parties, maybe one every day? No, too much. Once a week. A party once a week will work. And... and I'll have a different animal imported each time to release on my island! Yeah! I think I'll get Zebras first, about ten of 'em. And the week after, I'll get some peacocks. They'll look so cool strutting around with the Zebras!

Oh, right, the presents. Well, I guess Farrah found out about my private plane from my first blog, and she got me these sweet little Armani Exchange Wire Frame Aviator Sunglasses! So I can have sunglasses when I go high flying! It's a mouthful to say though, so I just call 'em my fly-shades.

Then Saige got me something that's fun AND cool. They're these little ceramic eggs, but they're not really eggs. I did try to cook one, but when I cracked it, dirt came out. Not shaved chocolate, dirt. That was disappointing, but then I read the instructions. I thought they were just those little recipes that come with treats, but they're instructions. You set the eggs in their little pots and crack the top. Then you plant seeds in the dirt, and these little plants grow! A plant coming from an egg instead of a chicken! Why didn't someone think of this years ago? It's the coolest thing ever! Much cooler than an omelette, although I am still hungry. And I haven't gotten the taste of dirt out of my mouth yet.

Best Party EVER!

My party was the bomb. And not like last time, when it just bombed. This time it was hopping. All my teammates from Viva Swag were there, and a few celebrities I invited over. Everything I planned went like I planned because when I plan plans, I plan well.

I don't see eye to eye with Rico, but I'll admit this much. He's a great DJ. With his music and kick-butt sound system, the evening was off to a great start. I'd had a sweet hardwood dance floor built, and we danced and danced and danced. I even saw Astrid out there, doing some serious grooving! After an hour or so of dancing, Kip and I sent everyone off on a scavenger hunt we'd put together. I'd bought a truckload of clothes and accessories from Cleopatra and Farrah, then scattered them around the island. My only rule? Finders, keepers! The dance floor emptied fast.

By the time they came back, arms loaded with goodies, they were hungry. Lucky for me, Fredrica brought a ton of these delicious little Brie & Raspberry Stars. Everyone loved them. I have to remember to thank her later, and order some more. Those treats are addicting.

After that, everyone wandered over to the Beachview Room. It's a cherrywood paneled room with an open wall on the far side. The open wall has a light screen that can be opened or closed, but either way there's almost always a nice breeze coming in. I had a bunch of Saige's candles around, and one of my butlers was hiding near the air vents, wafting Takahatchi's Vanilla Grapefruit perfume into the room.

I haven't opened the presents yet. I'm so excited, but I want to see how long I can go without opening them. It's a test of willpower. When I go into the room and stare at the gifts, they stare back at me. It's man against box. Aristotle against bright colors and shiny bows. I gave in and opened one so far. An awesomely cool watch from Meadow. She's definitely getting flowers as a thank-you. As for the others... I can resist... but why am I resisting? Forget it! I'm hooked now, I have to see what the rest of the shiny boxes are hiding! Aristotle signing off!
