Melinda Abodeu: To party or not to party

Bill is so boring. I wanted to throw a big Halloween party this year, the kind of fancy ball you see in the movies where everyone dresses up in expensive costumes and we serve hors d'oeuvres. We'd invite only the most important people in Chyubaer and show them what high-class citizens we've become. But Bill doesn't want to do anything that extravagant. What good is having all this money if you can't spend it, I tell you! If we can't host a big party, then I'm going to find out where the fanciest Halloween party in town is and go to that myself... without him!
