The juice party/playdate was a success. The kids had a great time and the moms had a great time (at least I did!). I had picked up pizzas prior to the party, so we had pizza and juice. The kids REALLY seemed to like the juice. I sampled the different varieties and thought they were all quite good.
Which means a lot coming from a person who only likes water and wine (like Jesus!). Oh, and the occasional sweet iced tea from McDonald's or Wendy's...
And speaking of Wendy's, I made the Evil Twin run down to ours and get me a sandwich at about 10:30 pm. I really, really, really wanted a Big Bacon Classic, but they don't have those on the menu anymore, so I got a single with cheese and everything plus bacon. Voila! A big bacon classic - almost. It was so damn good I nearly cried.
Anyway, prior to all that: when the Evil Twin walked in after work, I noticed he was carrying a small white box. He had said he was going to pick up a cake after work. Now, we all know the cakes from the grocery stores are usually on a black plastic sheet with a clear plastic top. So, I was curious.
He had stopped at Spring Hill Bakery for a cake. That bakery is renowned here for having the BEST cakes and pastries around. It's also not the cheapest place in town. I was thrilled! It was a checkerboard cake with vanilla frosting with chocolate piping. It's some of the best cake I've had in a while.
What a great surprise! :-)
I had a bit of wine last night - not as much as I would have liked but I had a slow start and I was tired. So, I got in bed early. I'll make up for the lack of wine consumption tonight.
I took a few pictures after the juice party yesterday - I totally forgot to get pics of before. They had sent me a table cloth and everything, but after the kids had pizza, it had some sauce on it, so I took it off and threw it away. Dang it! I was just too busy to remember the before pics. Oh well, what matters is that everyone had fun. I'll upload pics later.
And now, I'm off for a glamorous Thursday. I hope you are too!
You're still a pup, as far as I'm concerned. ;)
ReplyDeleteI do like how you appear to have a nightly wine quota. Woman after my own heart, you are.
Can't believe i missed your big day!!! Happy Birthday, darling Girl! ( and girls too, I guess !).
ReplyDeleteWasn't it nice of your Hubby to do that? Hope your day was wonderful.
Love, Nataliexx♥
Yay for surprise extra good cake!!! I'm betting that moment of thoughtfulness is why you were "tired" and went to bed early ;)
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday..so Happy Birthday. That was so sweet of your hubby to bring you home a DEVINE cake. You were making me so hungry for a Bacon Cheeseburger!! My first job when I was 16 was at Wendys and it was So hard not to eat the food!!! If I worked there now they wouldn't be able to fit me out the door lol. Have a beautiful Thursday!!

ETW, I am proud of you for making up your wine deficiency today. It takes a committed soul to endure such hardship as that!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my heck, Spring Hill Bakery is awesome. I never knew the delights I had missed until I had my first pastry from there...delightful!
Glad you had a great birthday! TET is such a sweetie!

ReplyDeleteSo happy you had a great day! Can't wait for the pics. I want to see the cake, did you shoot that?
ReplyDeleteWell, I had quite the glamorous Tuesday. Class, more class, meeting with a professor, home with boys. Party, party, party! :P
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome guy!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice day.
My doctor's office is two doors down from Spring Hill Bakery. Irony!
ReplyDeleteThat place makes me think of my grandfather. My grandparents lived in South Charleston and my grandfather adored Spring Hill Bakery, especially the "Hot Dogs" and German Chocolate cake (ew).
I'm glad your juicy juice party went well! I still can't believe there are juicy juice parties.
ReplyDelete:) Glad you had a nice birthday with a yummy cake!
A scrumptious looking cake! YUM! A very happy belated birthday to you my friend! Blessings for a great upcoming year! Lisa
