Just had a weekend of tokers invading my home. Felt I had to add something to the GWC about what is actually involved for the Wife!
Setting the Date & Invites:
Mr HH decides that it's about time we had a gathering, he's finally cropped and able to share! Does he pick the one weekend the kids are away? No, he picks the weekend after, leaving me worried about how to entertain them while he plays the host with the most!
Preparation:
The Hippy house is rather large (like cleaning the 4th bridge!) and it takes us a couple of days to clean, hoover and organise rooms for some of our guests. Bearing in mind, the kids go back to school soon, so I'm also trying to make sure uniforms & stuff are ready too! Like most men, HH is very vague with answers to simple questions, like who's coming, who's staying, etc.
Feeding:
What sort of food should I feed? Now I know some of you are into healthy living from what I've read on here and there are always people who will eat most things - but generally you all like to munch. So off to the supermarket I go and collect a selection of fruit, crisps, cakes, drinks, etc. Also have the intention of being a good wifey and baking some cakes & goodies of my own - but what with the kids being off school too, I had no chance! However, I must add that Bakewell Tart is a must - but I forgot to buy it! (sorry Withnail).
The Gathering!:
Our guests arrive and the toking ones are relegated to the kitchen whilst the children are still in the house. There is a steady cloud of smoke hovering over the kitchen, but the Fabreeze is keeping the rest of the house at bay! Thankfully, it's a lovely day and am able to take wives & kids to the local beach. I have to say we all had a lovely time at the beach and relaxed for once in our lives in the company of wives of tokers. It was lovely being able to talk freely about the hubby's and how we feel about them growing in our homes!
Meanwhile, back at the Hippy house the guys are all totally relaxed in the front room (Mr HH is reminded that he has to ensure that fans & Fabreeze must be set off occasionally!). From what I gather there are many strains being circulated and shared amongst the 420 members - the mood is happy and chilled!
4pm: The beach starts to get a little chilly (and the sea was freezing!), so the wives decide it's time to go back to the house. I text Mr HH to warn him to move to another room.
4.30pm: As we enter the Hippy home to a large cloud of smoke, there is a mass exodus to the kitchen! The fan in the living room & Fabreeze are being sprayed frantically and the 420 group have effortlessly encamped into my kitchen!
As I look at all the munchies I had left behind, I begin to panic that no one wants to eat! Well, how wrong was I? About a couple of hours later, it's nearly all gone - even the kids treats - the buggers ate the lot!
The other wives were out of the house by now and I decided to go sit with our guests for a while. I gingerly entered the fog and everyone went quiet! You know that feeling you get when someone enters a saloon on one of those spaghetti westerns? Well for a split second that's what I felt, but realised that they were just shocked that a wife had actually entered into their inner sanctum! I sat and spoke to the group for a while, but had to leave as I truly felt that I was getting high on their persistent cumulus nimbus emulating from kitchen! However, I did keep sneaking back as I was starting to feel quite good about myself, but didn't want to make a complete fool of myself. But then hey, I am a subby too!
Highlight of the night for me had to be when a volcano was produced and I thought it someone was playing a joke blowing up a rather large condom! God I'm naive!
Well as the evening and guests dwindled, I actually felt quite sad that they were going and was grateful that some of them were staying. I have to say that all in all they were really a great bunch of people who smoked 'heroic quantities of ganga'!
Give me a group of tokers any day over drinkers - they were all friendly, polite and well behaved! I really enjoyed the weekend and can't wait to do it again. Although I did use copious amounts of Fabreeze, my house is now back to the usual 'Hippy smell'! I would recommend to any wife to encourage their man to host one of these evenings, as 420 has an outstanding group of members who you feel happy to let into your home.
Peace!
