about

Hi my name is Lee Ann. I am 29 years old and Graduated from Bethany college obtaining a bachelors of music. I am a happily married woman with two kids, ages3 and 2. I currently have six books out on the market, all of which can be found on amazon. The first is called The Leaf: One fallen heart and a burning desire, my second is called Avengement of Glory, my third is called Spiral of Enlightenment, fourth one is called Prodigy of the Immortal, fifth one is called Augment in the Realm of Darkness, and my sixth novel is called Bond in the Spiritual Heart. I started this advice column to see if I could give good advice. Turns out I am pretty good, better than I thought actually. I enjoy seeing people smile when I give them good advice and they use it. It makes me feel better as a person to help people. I want to make the world a better place and I think that starting an advice column is the right way to begin. Writing is a huge part of my life, without it, I wouldn't be able to function properly. After seven years, I think I have done pretty well as an advice columnist.

advice

My boyfriend is in the military, and he's coming home for a short leave in a couple of weeks. I was thinking that since his birthday is in a couple of months, and he hasn't been around to celebrate it with his friends since high school, I'd throw him a surprise party.

Here's the catch: I've never planned a party on my own before!

I know I need to get a hold of his friends, which I should be able to do through Facebook, but I've got some other issues. There will be about 20 people at the party.

1) What kind of food should I prepare, and how much? I'd like to go a little bit beyond just pizza. We do have a barbecue (but a small backyard), so that is an option.

2) Alcohol: how much should I plan on purchasing? The guys aren't exactly heavy drinkers, but I'm a one beer kinda girl, so I have no clue.

3) Activities? I don't want to make them play spin-the-bottle or anything lame. We have a few gaming systems and everyone attending is a gamer, so I thought that we could have a multiplayer going on there, but that's only 4 people at a time. I don't want people getting bored.

Any other tips from expert party planners? Thanks!

For sure have doritos, cheetos, pop like mountain dew, dr pepper, pepsi. IT would be great to have a local band to play at the party and also if they like video games, guitar hero and singstar definitely fit the bill. I would but enough beer and alcohol to be safe for someone to be able to have about 4 on their own. You may have some left over because not everyone drinks that much but at least you would have some left over. If you ask his friends they probably would know a good band and you wouldn't have to spend more than 20 dollars to get them to play. I wouldn't buy a cake but maybe a cookie because boys love chocolate and cookies.

(Rating: 5) Thank you! The band is out of the question, unfortunately (we live in an 800 sq foot semi-detached), but the rest is awesome.
