MIA
Hey, all!
Sorry I wasn't around Friday.
You know you're too busy to blog when you're too busy to post that you're too busy to blog. :-)
I had a LATE dinner out Thursday night with some friends over an hour away and then Friday morning I had a watermelon basket/fruit tray to put together for a friend's 40th birthday party which was that night.
Oh, and did I mention I had painters in my house all week and had to go to a neighbor's house to cut fruit since my kitchen was off limits?
Yeah. There was that too.
The 40th Birthday party was a blast by the way. And my fruit basket was naturally a hit. I even cut out oranges and filled the fruit dip in the skin part. This is the second watermelon basket that I've made and I must say, I now consider myself an "expert".
I didn't take a picture of this year's (too stressed and no time), but if you want to see what I made last year, check this out HERE. I volunteered to make one next Saturday for another party.
Let's see...back to the birthday party...
**start humming Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" right about now **
It was a surprise for our friend. He told his wife he didn't want a party or anything big.
Naturally, she took that as her cue to have a party and have it big.
So, we rented a 14 person van to "kidnap" him with a blindfold and take him to his wife's brother's house where 90 of his closest friends and family were waiting. :-)
It was a really nice catered event and there was a live band that kicked major butt!!
(I missed all the food because I spent all night on the dance floor)
PS. Did I mention the State Police showed up? I told you it was a good party... LOL
Anyhew, I spent all weekend trying to recover. I can't dance in heels all night like I used to (my calves were on fire) and I guess I spent too much time near the speaker because everything sounded like I was under the water.
Yeah. So that was my weekend.
What did you do?

Sounds like you had an absolute blast. I attended a wedding a few weeks back and danced so much I had some kind of dance hangover the next day, lol. (and I didn't drink). Btw, your watermelon basket was awesome. That is quite an undertaking. Consider myself creative, but that looked like real work. Hope you're recovered.

Feeling sooo much better. I can walk again although my calves are still sore. :-)
Did you stretch them out at all? That should help.
Jennifer - were you wearing your plastic princess pumps again???? Glad you had a good weekend - always better to be too busy having fun than too busy doing (almost) anything else.

True, the pain was worth it. :-)
