Gypsy Pajama Party

I finished Patry's book! Ok, if you're talking to me, I can hear you now, lol. It (the book) IS good, too. Since it's a mystery, that's all I dare say, because I'm too afraid I'll give it away...the synopsis is on the book link above though, if you want to know about the plot.   

So what have I been doing since I finished the book early this morning. Well, I seem to have pajamas and gypsies on my mind today. Speaking of which, wouldn't the Gypsy Pajamas be a great name for a band? Or the Pajama Gypsies? Ok, maybe not....

Since K. and B. were both at work today, I had the house to myself, and painted in my pj's all day,  while listening to my Gypsy Caravan cd, and some of K.'s flamenco guitar cds - not surprisingly, I'm on a kick of painting gypsies right now -  just little watercolors, they're still damp, but maybe I'll show them to you tomorrow when they're dry.  When the family got home, I was still in my jammies, my hands covered in a rainbow of Twinkling H20 colors. I can never seem to paint without wearing at least a little of it. Fortunately, I didn't get any on my pj's, as they're my current favorite pair - the ones with popcorn and soda bottles and movie tickets on them. Nothing but the finest in lounging wear for me :).  We ate Portugese beans and rice for dinner, which somehow (at least in my mind), fit in with my idea of gypsy food. Though they probably don't buy theirs in a jar from Trader Joe's, but maybe they should, 'cause it's faster and they'd have more time for dancing, though who am I to tell them what to do with their time - they're Gypsies and they should be free to do as they please. Maybe they don't even like Portugese beans. But if they do, it is a timesaver; I'm just sayin', that's all. 

Ok, back to the pj theme - I got an e-mail from Gemma a little while ago, mentioning working from home in pj's - yeah, Gemma! Way to go! Woo-hoo! So I had an idea - why not have a pajama party? You know, a virtual one?

So in celebration of jobs where you work in your jammies (which makes me think of that radio commercial I hear nearly every night, where Tory says "I make six figures working in my pajamas" - I have no idea what Tory actually does to make 6 figures in her pj's, because I always tune out the commercial after that, as I drift into my own daydream of making six figures working in my pajamas) and  maybe also, just because I'm still in my pj's today, I thought it might be fun to have a pajama party.  Wanna join in?  Put on your pj's and kick back. Photos are optional - but more fun. Can you just imagine if everyone put their pj pics on the Internet at once? I think it would be hysterical. Or just show what snacks you'd want at a slumber party - or games or movies. I hope someone will join me - but even if no one else joins in, I'll still be here in my comfy slippers and my flannel jammies, even though I'm not making 6 figures in them, as of yet - but if I hear that commercial again, maybe I'll hear how she does it, this time.

Oh, sorry! Some hostess I am - would you like a snack? Here, have some Pirate's Booty, I'm warning you though, this white cheddar popcorn stuff is really addictive. Or I have regular buttered popcorn if you'd rather. There's some soda in the fridge if you want some - Pepsi or diet Pepsi; I think there's a bottle of wine in there, too. Did anybody bring any chocolate? Hnnm, let me see what I have on hand...While I'm trying to find us some in the kitchen, why don't you go put on something more comfortable, like your pj's?  Somebody, put on some music - what do you guys wanna hear? Or a movie - should we watch a movie? Or you wanna play cards? I'm fine with whatever everyone wants. Kick back - make yourselves at home... ;-)

No 'bras in the freezer' tricks though, you guys - um, the freezer's pretty full right now as it is...

I always work in my pajama's too Tink!! I swear the only time mom and I get dressed is when we are going to town or know someone is coming, LOL!! Anyway, I'm here for the party!!

[tinker]

Yay! Glad you came over, Tydragonfly! Kick back and have some popcorn. And thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one in my pajamas!

[miss*R]

I am just about to have my bath & get in my jammies ready for bed - will join you for sure Tinker xxooxo
I will bring icecream we can eat from a tub! ooh and some cherry ripes (an aussie favourite chocolate) and lets watch movies - girly movies - hmm Chocolate is a good one, but I bags marrying Johnny Depp when I grow up !

[tammy vitale]

I've always loved working from home even when I was being an artist. For the very reason that I could hop up, be productive and by noon still be in my pjs. I even own some that match now!

I'll bring wine to share and some feta and crackers (odd - but fits my current eating schedule) to nibble on myself.

Let's watch Something to Talk About or I"ll 2nd Chocolat...and maybe everyone can bring a little packaged something for a "pick one to take home" as a way to remember our grand night!

[Pacian]

Don't I now feel silly for getting dressed this morning. :-(

[lisa]

My poor fleece robe with the scotty dogs has so many things mod podged to it. lol No matter what kind of pjs I have on, this robe is an every day thing. It's like my Linus blanket.

I often do my work-from-home jobs in my pjs because I'm trying to do them before people are up or after they've gone to bed.

Fun, fun post.

[Greenishlady]

Huh! I finally showered and dressed - after 3 pm, having spent the entire morning and early afternoon at the computer typing notes for a class I start this week - in my glittery blue tartan pj's and purple velvet dressing-gown. I'm also sorry I didn't share my snack of oatcakes, cheddar cheese and apple slices. Next time, I will! Movie? Steel Magnolias, anybody?

[Gemma]

Here I am in Purple sweats and fuzzy socks....I brought some chocolate. Hey I need a makeover...does anyone want to do my hair? I'll paint your fingernails with this cool glitter polish!

[Lisa(0ceandreamer)]

wow this is great, don't you all look comfy-cozy. I hope it's ok that mine don't match.
Do you all like M&M's? I brought Chocolat too - no I mean the movie. Gemma, I'll do your hair (wait til you see what I brought you to wear when it's done). Tink, your PJ's are so cute thanks for hosting this,it's a great idea and look at all those pillows you have. Oh and did you see that site with the Gypsy caravans? I have a thing about gypsies I can't wait to see your watercolors. Hey, maybe we can paint our faces...or..ok I'll stop talking, I'm so excited.
XOXOXO

[tinker]

G'mornin, everybody! - yawn - sorry, I slept in - we were all up so late last night - Miss R - don't get mad at me, but I had the strangest dream about Johnny Depp, hee hee. Gemma thanks for bringing the nail polish! LisaFroggy - I'm so glad you could make it! I've missed you!I love your Scotty robe!

Pacian where are your pj's? There are ladies present @_@
Janet, I LOVE smoothies, thanks for bringing 'em - I go on and off with the healthy stuff - um, right now I'm kinda falling off the wagon, lol. Of course you can wear mismatched jammies - actually, I'm just wearing a long-sleeved tee with mine - for one the color almost matches, too :)
You know what, you guys? JudieMcCaw snuck in last night and got a photo of us! She says she's sending it to me - I'll put it up here as soon as I get it. I can't wait!
I'm starving now - anybody want some pancakes? I'm so glad you all could come - I hope you're having fun - I'm having a blast!!!

[tinker]

Imelda! I love the glittery tartan pajamas! and Steel Magnolia's, yes - let's take a break from Johnny Depp for a bit and watch that. We'll get back to the Johnny Depp-athon afterwards ;-) Tammy V., thanks for bringing the ice cream and I love the make and take idea - the glitter, paints and matt board are over there on the dining room table if anyone wants to make a little something!

[Ninnie]

I'm here better late than never I guess. Can we jump around on beds. Chocolat I love that movie. Maybe we should all watch the Secret together. Love, Hugs, and Blessings to all.

[Lisa(0ceandreamer)]

[Paris Parfait]

I was in my favourite pyjamas until 3 p.m. one day last week. Will post a pic of my pjs. Love your idea of a virtual pyjama party! (Surely there's chocolate involved). :) xo

[kai]

Peace and hugs, Kai xx00xx

[tinker]

Sorry I had to leave the party for a little bit - hope you all kept on having fun - what did I miss? @_@ Uh-Oh - Lisa's been making prank phonecalls I see! Well, as long as she didn't dial overseas, I shouldn't get into too much trouble, lol. You didn't, did you??
Hi Ninnie! I'm so glad you made it - I was hoping you'd come by - you too Miss Kai! Thanks for the compliment - they're from last year at Costco, 2 bottoms for 9.99! Great deal - the other pair are stripey. Tara - I'm so glad you made it to the party, too! I can't wait to see your favorite pj's - you always have such cool pics.

[violetismycolor]

don't know when I was last at a slumber party, but they certainly are fun.

[tinker]

Diane, I'm glad you made it to this one - wish you could have brought Cookie with you!

[Marilyn]

If we can't do bras in the freezers, can we do the hand in the bowl of water one? (I know, kids are MEAN!) ;)
