Oooohhh! We can make Jell-O Shots with jendela's jelly crystals! I think I have a little vodka in the cabinet, but if there's any left after we make the treats, I won't leave it in the landfill! Lettuce slime salad. ! Warrior Kimmy I can't wait to taste it! I am bringing some empty coffee cans, a Fed-Ex box, and more flyers, magazines, 4 phone books from last year and other paper stuff to keep the bonfire going. WE MAY GET SNOW THIS WEEKEND!!! Love it, but gotta stay warm at the party!

Love it, but gotta stay warm at the party! OMG, I didn't know there was such a thing as Jell-O shots!!! If only I had known, then maybe I would have kept the jelly crystals . I am adding a handful of random papers from my desk to the bonfire. It is a shame that I disposed of the battery operated vibrating mascara wand some time ago - I am sure that it would have been a welcome addition to Kimmy's lipsticks.

HAHA a vibrating mascara???!!! Love it jendela We could have smeared the neon pink lipstick on it and had eyelashes to match! Irisheyes I thought the salad would look worse, but it was covered in green dressing, so I could not be sure if it was dressing or slime You can be the keen taste tester and I will try the 4 old phone books to call for help if you drop! Unswamping HAHA ok deal, when I get back home I promise to come bearing 4 90% empty lemonade bottles ... maybe we could make milk shakes by adding the leftover milk to the lemonade? By the way ladies, I am seriously contemplating moving into this Landfill Party! It is much more fun than living in my place! Oooooh, I have 2 dried mascaras to add to the Party, too! I have hoarded them for 3 years now trying to extract some life from them.... bet cyn grabs them!!! Unbelievable, but true, I suspect she also grabbed my stiff robe and shedding bathmat from the top of the bin to match that fugly quilt cover!

Dagnabbit, Warrior Kimmy, I've been somewhat successfully ignoring all my seriously expired makeup, but you keep inviting it to the party! I want to believe they're simply too young to attend where alcohol is served. I'm a very protective hoarder mama about some things. Okay, most things. Sigh. I suppose I must admit every little powder foundation, mascara, eye shadow and liner, blush, lip pencil and stick must grow up sometime. Can't I keep them safely at home, just a little while longer? Some of them can't be more than 10 or 12 years old! That's only... Oh. Right. It's like dog years. Except instead of 7 dog years for every human year, makeups reach old age in about 6-12 months. Ack! Some of my babies are the equivalent of 100-120 years old! Even my 3&4-year-old are really 30-40! They reached far beyond their majority when I wasn't paying any attention to them. Dang it. But but but they're still such cute little things! Pfft. Okay. All right. They can come to the party. Sheesh.

Im so looking forward to lemonade milkshakes, Warrior Kimmy also with some lovely green slime salad. We can toss my cold cuts in and make it a tasty chefs salad. Irisheyes what lovely colors do you have to contribute to the pink lipstick? Im loving the idea of matching pink eyelashes too. I need to get to work today at adding some things to this party.

I'll match swamped's cold cuts and throw in some bread that expired, uh, last year. I'm also tossing in a shoebox, so we can corral all our wonderful, colorful makeup. Let's party!

Kimmy, if your make-up's missing, I swear it wasn't me who took it! I learned the hard way not to wear really old mascara, and almost blinded myself by saving $10. Never again. I tossed most of my old powder eye shadows because when I tried to wear them they looked horrible. No point wasting time getting all dolled up if it makes you look *worse* with creepy crepey lids. Yuck!

Makeup colors... take your pick. Little sister used to sell Avon, and gave me her samples and extras when she quit. Sil sold Mary Kay, same deal when she quit. No idea what those gals were trying to tell me! ! I have several daughters, so perhaps that was why they thought bags of makeup would be welcome. I let the girls dig through it back then, then promptly put the stuff away in my closet...and forgot about it. Whichever girl packed out my closet for the move a few years ago tossed it in a box. How sweet that old makeup moved with me...over 4 years ago. I unearthed it when I organized our master bath a couple months ago. I thought all that was in that box was knick-knacks from my old master bath. So, why didn't I toss it then? Hmmmmm... I dunno. Maybe because my mind refused to let me throw out things that had never been opened?! Maybe because that stuff is pricey and it's difficult to "waste" anything? Maybe because...My name is Irishey, and I am an unrecovered hoarder?! Maybe I simply was waiting for a landfill party!!! ! Swampy, you can have those phone books to sit on at the party!

OK, I think it is the Jell-O shots that made me do this (bad Irisheyes for leading me astray) but I am going to toss in a lavender Steam Eye Mask. It was a freebie from a magazine that I duly saved, then wondered why on earth I kept it. I have sensitive skin/eyes, and I don't want to take risks with an unknown product, but could I throw it out? No! So, in it goes with all the other eyeshadow and lipsticks.
