I assumed that people throw their own housewarmings. Well, that's been the case for all the ones I've been to.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

No, I don't really need people to help me get my house in order but I have an influx of people who want to do things and as a way of thanking them, I want to feed them and give them alcohol.

that is doing too much.

Sure you could have someone else plan it if they are into that type of thing but it's your house.

Own it.

like they think if they're invited to a housewarming party they have to bring gifts.

So maybe if you just want a party, specify no gifts (some people will still bring stuff anyhow).

(if she's not) they might feel it's odd for her to have a housewarming party (some ppl are real technical about that shit). or if they are surprised to learn SHE owns a house they might be confused and/or envious.



fuck you.

I always tell them I don't NEED anything, but if they would like to do something a gift card would be nice.

"top 5 potential house warming hosts"


  

          

5) badu. She would demand to DJ. Drink all the punch, then pass out on a pile of coats in one of the kids bedrooms.

4) Oprah. Dope house warming gifts. #williamssonoma

3) ?uest. I mean cmon. Neo soul jam session in the living room. All he would want is some cupcakes and to help alphabetize the CDs.
Unlike badu he would be questioning whether he should DJ, write a 30 page long explanation about how he felt about not djing and be weird and self conscious in the corner. #90s

2) throwback dick gregory. Easily in the top 10 Black people of all time. Ok....top 25. Easily.

1) Dorothy Dandridge during the Carmen era.

Dude made all this money during the mortgage runup and built this crazy big house with a movie room and cafe/bar pool room in the house.

And still had the never to have a housewarming!!!!

We were walking through the house getting tight.

My brother took the tour grabbed his gift and took it back home.
