My Funny Valentine! |
October 3, 2013. That's the last time I blogged. And I'm reminded of that by my friend, Jerry, every time I see him. Jerry's birthday happens to be today. He's a Valentine baby. How cool is that? So, for his birthday, I'm taking time out to blog today. (Selfishly, it's a gift for me, too, as I have really missed blogging.)
Like most of you, I had a really busy holiday season. I survived prepping dishes for Thanksgiving, hosting Hanukkah for 8 crazy nights, throwing a birthday party for 67 people for my son's 3rd birthday, cooking and hosting open house on Christmas Day, making merry on New Year's Eve and most recently, throwing a Party Heart-y wine and dessert party. Whew! I told you I love to have parties!
Looking back, this season may have been a bit excessive, but I recently "retired" from working behind the chair as a hair stylist, which allows me more time to do the things I love...raising my son, homemaking and writing.
Over the next couple of weeks, I'll write about each party that I had. I keep notes on every party I throw. It helps me in the planning phase, and also helps me to look back and see what worked and where I could have improved.
Today though, is all about Valentine's Day, and Jerry's birthday!
