One of the things on my “to do” list for this weekend was to get invites out for baby girl's b'day. It did not get done … partially because I was waffling on the idea of having invitations at all. It will be a small affair with mostly family in attendance and normally for this sort of thing, I'd send out emails and make a few phone calls … but seeing as this is her FIRST BIRTHDAY, I'd sort of like something … y'know, paper … for the scrapbook. It seems a bit silly, but kind of important nonetheless.
I do think I've narrowed down the theme a bit. Everyone's suggestions were really helpful. I think we'll be going with a purple/green theme at least for the invitations (I'm crap at drawing) … but I may add some children's book elements into the mix as well. I will need to start looking into cupcakes and other foodstuffs soon … but hopefully I can get the invites out tonight.
And as my homage to Super Tuesday, I left what I thought was a funny comment on The Kitchen blog. C'mon, people, oven Mitts?!?! That's hilarious. Anyway … I don't think they got it either. And back in reality: I couldn't vote in the election. I am registered as an independent and they don't allow us to vote in primaries here in CO (which I think is very narrow-minded). But I still say my “party” designation stands. I wouldn't want to be a part of any party that would have me as a member.
We made Chunky Potato-Crab Chowder for dinner which was beyond excellent. We both raved about it … and as an added bonus, it was really easy to cook. Tabby loved it too.
I really wanted invitations for Lila's first birthday, but I never got around to it. We're definitely doing them this year though. The party this year will be more friends, less family…or more friends, same family I guess. Last year I did a pink and green them…just b/c that's what I like, and I figured it'd be the only birthday I ever get to plan all by myself. This year it's definitely going to be either monkeys or Dora…her two favorite things.
I always call Mitt Mitten. LOL.
