101 days to go

And the countdown has begun. In 101 days I officially become a 30 year old. It's been a great decade. It started rocky. Lots of heart aches and stupid things (that lead to those mentioned heartaches). But after that I got my Bachelor's Degree, my Master's Degree. I got married, started the wedding planning business, bought an apartment, became a mom, bought a home. Lots of amazing things. I am looking forward to great things this next decade. A good friend says that the way you live in your 30's will pretty much tell you how you'll live the rest of your life. So I have that in mind.

I've been thinking about what I want to with these 100 days. How do I want to prepare myself to make a grand entrance? And what I've come up with is working on my hotness factor. Yup, you read that right. I'm gonna welcome my 30's as a Hot Mamma! (Not like I'm not right now, but whatever works as my pep talk). So that's it for now. I guess I should have written all those things on my actual birthday. Now I'll have to figure something creative to say then. Well, I can add that to the list also: 1. work on hotness factor, 2. think of something creative to blog on my birthday

Pumpkin's 3rd Birthday Party

Yesterday we celebrated Pumpkin's third Birthday. The theme was fairies. I'm not really sure how many people showed up. Maybe 40? We had several activities for them to do: going to the park, frosting some sugar cookies, chocolate covered marshmallows, making necklaces, etc. They had fun, ran around. The adults ate and drank like crazy.

It was really a lot of fun. She got a lot of presents which is always nice for kids. One thing I do have to say about the part of opening the presents: I know kids are kids, BUT as a parent it is our duties to tell our kids to NOT open the birthday kid's presents! Or am I wrong?

Overall people really enjoyed themselves. So much that the last bunch left at around 2am! We had a HUGE mess to clean up today. And 4 hours later I still have things to clean. I feel so tired, maybe it'll what I drank last night. You know how some people regret what the did the previous night? I'm not sure if I am regretting what I said, but I do admit it was precipitated comment. I told 2 people that I would like or them to be my child's godparents... a child I do not have yet. And something I did not discuss with my husband. Damn, I feel like I really screwed up. Other than that, a huge success. And I also have lots of cake left. Yay!

Where I've been ...

I know I've been MIA for more than a week. Here's what's been happening (in no specific order):

* Been working a freakin' lot with things related to the wedding planning business.
* My SIL is officially a PhD!!
* Last Tuesday JA got a year older.
* Tomorrow is Pumpkin's 3rd birthday.
* Next Saturday will be her birthday party.
* I've been doing great in my Facebook's games (FarmTown and Restaurant City). Actually, too good... priorities, priorities..
* I've gained weight and am NOT stressing about it. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It must be a bad thing.
* Mini-Me has some serious anger issues. Could it be that she's asking for some attention/time? Maybe she's in denial of her upcoming 3-0 birthday?
* JA bought a BBQ
* I'm reading AND LOVING "How to win friends and Influence people" by Dale Carnegie
* Last week I went to a pool. It's most "summery" thing I've done so far.

I think that's pretty much it, or at least all I can remember right now. More updates to come: birthday party!
