As it happens, I was going to a party anyway...so there's my celebration! It came at a good moment too because I needed some ME time after playing taxi driver all day. (Pick up son's friend, bring son and friend to fb practice, come home, drive hubby back to work due to car failure, pick up son and friend from fb practice, go home, make lunch, feed kids, drive older 2 kids to meet their step-mom, drive home, wash, get ready, pick up hubby from work, drive home....get the picture?? Just another day in the life.....which I chose and do love, but some days IT GETS TO ME!!!!) But hey - wait a minute - that may just count as a workout!
Back to the party....incredible spread of food.......and I didn't pig out, didn't feel the urge to sample EVERYTHING. No sirree, I WAS REASONABLE!!!!! I drank my one German beer....so refreshing and delicious, sampled 3 salads - so 1 of them was potato....who cares? Even my servings were sensible! Stayed away from the sandwiches and meat. I know I know....anyone who knows me is wondering what about the desserts? Always the main attraction for me...not quite as reasonable in that I sampled several things: a mini-éclair - barely the length of my thumb, a mini-puff ball the size of my thumbnail, a thin slice of the chocolate b-day cake, and a SMALL piece of Penny Murray's heavenly, irresistable peanut butter pie. Ok, I admit it sounds like a lot - but it wasn't! They were all tiny pieces!! And I stayed away from the Nanaimo bars, blondies, and brownies - that counts for something!
Needless to say, I'm pleased with how it all turned out. Great food and great company. What more could I ask for? Hmmm....do I really want to ask that question??
