wait five minutes

I am cursed. The more important a social event is to me, the more likely it is for the weather to be absolutely crappy. For example, Matt's HS grad party? The one where all my ex-in law's were coming for BBQ and cake? Yeah, rained all day, so we are running from the tent to the house with umbrellas. This past summer we had a beerfest fete and it was sooo hot we sat w/our feet in the kiddie pool and sipped drinks--nobody hardly moved from the shady swing.
Or how about this past weekend?
Punkin Day is supposed to be cold, thus the excuse for the bonfire and the "anti-freeze", but HIGH WIND ADVISORY with gusts up to 60mph?? The wind was so strong my pyromaniac husband ix-nayed the whole fire oil and booze combo. Sadly--We had to veto deep frying the turkey, Even Sunday it was still too windy. But now that the oven was empty--we just roasted his cajun spiced rubbed ass.Today it is clear calm and a sunny 65F. Tomorrow night when the kids are trick or treating and Izzy is Glenda the pink chiffon bomb? I predict snow.
