Thank you for all your birthday wishes, my most dear friends & family. It truly meant everything to me. I had a lovely birthday - took the day off and slept in. Had a great lunch with
Julie and that
Mental Mama...and then spent the rest of the day preparing a ginormous amount of food for tonight. Yup, tonight's the night Julie
threatened me with dire things if I didn't help her asked me to help her prepare (from beginning to end) the dinner for her school's closing house. 150 adults and 150 kids. I've never done anything this big. And it's the first time in my life I've gone to Costco and totally filled 2 shopping carts plus a dolly! It was simply thrilling! We got done around midnight. I am tired. If you have a minute, send good karma our way for a successful evening. I'm more than a little nervous!

ReplyDeleteI'm sure you managed to feed at least 150. Quite a challenge yet well worth it, if even just to know that you can do it.
