Hey, Suzieq, I was a member of our school's Thespian Society, too. Your parties sound like most of ours!

I didn't have any sleep-overs at my house, because we didn't have a family room where my parents could put us and retain a bit of sanity. But I remember how much fun I had at other's houses. My daughter had several sleep-overs, and I don't think things have changed much.

I DID have a best friend in the next town, and we spent weekends at each other's houses frequenyly. I'm sure there were times when we drove our parents bonkers!
