Celebration! (with 82 teens!)

As the 89th day of 2018 comes to a close, I am emotionally and physically exhausted.  3/30/18 was the Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party for Alexa.  And, honestly, it went about as perfect as we could have expected.  Yes, I accidentally allowed the large "1" balloon to escape the van at the end of the evening (it sailed away towards the bright and full moon) and I definitely ordered too much food (but we did not run out!).  But Alexa and her friends had a great time, Uncle Ron (the DJ) had them dancing the whole night, and it was so amazing that my friends in my village came to help setup and cleanup.  It was a great evening.  And now I need to crawl into bed and deal with the fact that I will soon have a 16-yr old kid.....wow.  Of the 117 she invited, 82 were able to come, so 82 will be the number of the evening and, with apologies to Greer Cheeseman, Celebration is in order for the song.

    What a high rated celebration! Surprise treat given by my best friend last month on my promotional success was out of the world. Really felt happy getting luncheon treat at LA venues with my favorite cup cakes and drinks. Gifted me a luxury pen. Now I truly owe her a thanksgiving party anytime soon.

Et Tu, Brute (since 1599)

The Ides of March.  3/15/18, the 74th day of 2018.  I wanted to have a Caesar Salad all day but, alas, it was not meant to be.  Instead, I figured I would honor Shakespeare and his Julius Caesar play, written in 1599.  So 1599 will be our number, and this strange song about JC will be our song.  Off to bed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI24OtN678o

Sugar Cookie Day and 0 unread emails!

Pretty nondescript day on day #190 of 2018.  7/9/18 is also National Sugar Cookie Day.  The only thing notable for me is that I have ZERO unread emails as I head to bed.  So, elated about that small detail, I will present 0 as the number of the day and play this song (about sugar) from the Archies.  Goodnight! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9nE2spOw_o

102nd Birthday

The 43rd day pf 2018 marked the anniversary of the birth of a very important person.  And Abraham Lincoln too!  But 2/12/18 would have been the 102nd birthday of Nettie Soskin, my Bubbe.  She was one of the most amazing women I have ever met and she is one of my role models.  And she could cook too!!  <3  So, to honor her, we have the number of the day as 102 and this Stevie Wonder classic as our song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inS9gAgSENE
