I let the lip slip, it seems. Once again, I’m late for my own party.
So I’ll just slip in here, in the back door rather than the grand entrance I really actually never make, and I’ll mingle with the crowd until everyone thinks I’ve always been here.
I know this makes no sense in regards to writing a blog post, but let’s pretend, shall we?
An appetizer? Why thank you.
I hadn’t realized I’d had this little affair catered. With wandering waiters dressed in crisp uniforms and everything!
Cocktail shrimp, anyone?
And a glass of champagne to loosen the lips and make all the guests happy.
And less likely to notice that I was late.
Do you ever feel like you’re just on the cusp of something? I overhear someone ask.
Well, now that you mention it, I do. But I haven’t a clue what it might be. Other than it’s bound to be pleasing. It’s just one of those feelings.
I do too, I say, but they look at me as if I’ve intruded so I walk away, wondering how my own party got so far out of hand.
Ah well. I suppose that’s what I get.
I can’t even enjoy a shindig in my own head.
Unless …
Let’s listen to music! I exclaim over the din of the crowd, and everyone cheers when I put on something everyone likes. Because I can do that at my imaginary party.
And everyone dances. I’m the toast of the party.
The SoCS party.
At least in my head.

It all looks like fun. The food and drink dizzying. I’ll be over in the corner reading. Tap me on the shoulder if you need me for anything. Fun post!

Great word! But I already have my three. 😦 The oldest comments are at the bottom. You’ve gotta be quick to beat the gals who usually get here first.
Thanks for trying, Ionia! ❤

Manderin ,
It’s a slippery slope if your late to your own party but have you recovered it well. I don’t think anyone noticed 💜

Better than crying, or spending your time in the kitchen. Your post put a few tunes into my head.
‘Slip of the lip’ is such a gorgeous phrase too!
