Do I really want to have a housewarming party in August?

[hermionesviolin]

My intended housewarming party date is two weeks from this Saturday (which in a few hours will be "two weeks from tomorrow").

This is feeling less and less like a good idea.

I am definitely ready for the autumn weather, and not having AC might be a serious problem for having people over -- esp. a lot of people.

I had wanted to have it in the summer before people went back to school, but this is fast becoming a moot point.  Kate will be in NC that weekend, Fefe will I think still be in England, I haven't talked to Hilary in ages, and now Jonah might not be able to come.  Everyone else is either still gonna be here in September or is elsewhere this summer anyhow.

Two weeks is really soon.  Esp. since I have plans for both prior weekends.  (It's also a short time for people to be able to plan, esp. for the postal mail invitations.)

There's also a lack of furniture etc. since OtherRoomie is in the process of moving out, but NewRoomie isn't moving in until mid-August (the week following the potential housewarming party).

So should I change my plan to September and relieve some of my stress?  The heat is really the biggest factor, but the stress factor is creeping up there as other surprises come up in my life.

I will possibly have a student pass for September-December, which will let me ride the train and the T, so, yeah, that would be better for me.

Honey the party is for *you*. Change it so that you feel comfortable. Nobody'll even bat an eye.

it's a party for you. If it would make you happier, and make more sense to change it, change it.

word.

"it's my party...."

So do what you want. I agree about the heat, tho. When we had your party after your graduation having a house full of humans meant we were all dripping.
If you have it in August -- buy LOTS of italian ice!

I clearly have no idea where your grad. school is 'cause you having a T-pass never occurred to me. (And you're Zone 8, right? That's a definite investment.)

I had thought you wouldn't want to attend a "lots of people Ari doesn't know" event, but yay for ease of visiting me generally.

Well given that I haven't even sent out invitations yet, there definitely won't be eye batting :)

Have your party when you want to have it. I get back the 11/12th (midnight on the 11) btw, so i'll have plenty of time to come visit you before school starts. I keep forgetting to mail your postcard, but i did write one for you! Have a great summer til then and try to keep cool. :-)

Would definitely be cool to see you before you go back to Smith. I wanna hear all about Oxford.

And yay for postcard even if it never gets mailed :)
