Life feels like one big celebration lately, and that's a darn good thing. First of all we got some tax money back and I have to admit, it's been fun spending some. I felt so touched being considered one of Macy's 'friends and family' I thought I just had to go spend some money there. Of course I had to visit the Coach section and I found myself the perfect little wristlet bag for my upcoming class reunion. (it's not until August but you can bet I'm already planning for it...!) When else can you get Coach at 25% off? Not often my friends, not unless you are friends and/or family. So there it is.
Yesterday us gourmet gals had a fun little celebration at Nancy's house for Dawn's 50th birthday. Like she looks 50...??!! It was a regular gourmet feast, even without our men. Smoked salmon, lovely cheeses, pate, crackers, soup, fruit and of course Rosemarie's famous brownies made it quite the party! Oh, and don't forget the mimosas!
Today I was invited over to my new neighbor and friend Eugenia's house to hang with her and her fellow Chinese girlfriends for an after-bible-study lunch. Every Wednesday they gather at her house to get their Jesus on and then EAT amazing homemade Chinese food that they have all brought. How lucky am I go be invited to this private and special affair?! I think Eugenia was a bit surprised that I would eat just about everything on the table...I know Andrew Zimmern would be disappointed in me tho, as I did have to pass on the chicken feet and the pig's skin. It was so fun to get a little window into a whole other world, an be invited in so warmly!
Now this has nothing to do with any sort of party or celebration, but I just have to share....maybe this will be the party favor giveaway gift for you?? Thanks (or no thanks!) to one of my managers at Hot Mama, I've been totally into this website called Go Fug Yourself lately. Absolutely hilarious. These two woman totally bag on celebrities and their sometimes (okay, often?!) questionable choices of what they must call fashion. The writing is spot on and will have you laughing out loud. I find myself having to check this site a few times a day for a juicy little tidbit. You're welcome! :-)
