Best Birthday EVER ... but I don't think I can do it again...

My wonderful husband threw me a birthday bash with friends and family
this past Saturday. I was so happy to see my best friends and family I
haven't seen in a while. My house was filled and the liquor was flowing.
The last of our guests left around 4:30 am. I did have a nap earlier
but did get up and cook several dishes along with a few friends that
brought some dishes.
We also had plenty of people bring beer and bottles
of Remy, Hennessy, and Peach Ciroc (Thanks Nida, Linh & Brian,
Goff/Navin/Ciroc/Rockstar/Starr - I don't know your alias this week,
Thai, everyone else that brought over one). Also thanks to Amanda for my
pink moscato that I have yet to drink.

I had fun and the house full of kids did too. I think some of the kids haven't seen each other in so long they hated to leave. My kids also got to spend time with their first cousins they haven't seen in about a year or so, so I was extremely happy for them.

It's been a while since I drank like that but it was so much fun but the
next day I was paying for it. Not so much hangover but exhaustion. I
have to remember it's not 2002 any more and my body can't party like it
used to.
Thanks to Sophal for my gift card to Starbucks that I used this
morning. Special thanks to my husband for putting it together, for
buying me the North Face jacket I was crying for, for the past month and
cancelling dinner on Sunday after realizing I was in a food coma at
5pm. I love you more than I can say!
All in all I had a wonderful party and a lovely day sleeping in. I think I slept away about 70% of my actual birthday (Sunday). Thanks for everyone who made it out. This was one for the memory books!

J and I found you a karaoke machine!! It's a stand that plays CDs and iPod/ iPhone plug ins. You can read the lyrics right on the stand w/ 2 microphones. Even I loved it...I'll keep it in mind for Christmas perhaps?
ReplyDeleteThe one at sam's club? It looked more for kids though.
