toot, toot!

That's me tooting my own horn- which I try not to do too often, but I can't help myself (sorry!). While I was doing a 9:30 p.m. grocery run on Friday night, I spotted the May issue of Better Homes and Gardens. On page 24, there it is...a shout-out to Party Perfect- hooray! Thanks to Miranda for putting up with me (I'm not the best interviewee as I tend to go off-point and then forget what I was saying), and to BH&G for choosing little ol' me as one of their faves! I'm so incredibly honored. And apologies for my tilt-y head, not quite sure what I was doing with that one.

3.4.

I had the best of intentions to take detailed photos of my 34th birthday soiree, but as luck would have it- we ran out of time. Turns out managing two young kids while sending mom out for a massage and getting ready for a party is next to impossible. So I only got so far as to photograph the mint-infused ice cubes before I was instructed to put down the camera and get ready! I wish I could show you pictures of cute hubby dressed in all-white with a bow tie, of custom 'specialty' drinks he created (he considers himself an iron chef in the kitchen, but unfortunately, is not), of my sweet Gram eating up the attention of all the ladies. But alas, all I have are the ice cubes. Hopefully you get the picture- I promise to be better next time!

That's how I spell out that sound when something ominous is approaching. In this case, my 34th birthday- tomorrow. It is now official. I feel old. It might have something to do with the sleep-deprived, body altering year I've had- I'm hoping by this time next year I'll be facing 35 in better shape. But for now I'm looking forward to a day of relaxing and a small night time celebration with some friends.

p.s. I got a preview of Gen's sale- lots of things to drain my pocketbook and cheer me up for the 34th year!
