Nice Birthday Weekend
So I had a really nice birthday weekend. I was a busy one! On Friday night, I went to Danielle's going away happy hour. It was fun as always to hang out with LMNK people and see people who I haven't seen in a while. I was really good that night and was DD for Danielle, so she could let loose on her celebration night ;-).
Saturday, I woke up at 8:00AM and started cooking and preparing for the birthday party. Seymen woke up a little later and we went to Pier 1 to get our new headboard, and then came home to finish getting ready. We actually did really well and had everything ready to go and cleaned by 3:00PM. Which was perfect because we have 30 mins. to relax before people started showing up!
It was an ABSOLUTELY beautiful day, and the party was PERFECT :-) We totally made use of the yard, and had chairs and a table with food out back, spead a blanket on the ground for others and kids to play and sit. It was PERFECT. It was actually a really long party because people start showing up and leaving in shifts. Seymen and I counted and (not including us) we had a total of 30 people show up Saturday!!
Much later that night, Seymen told me he thought that was the longest party in history. We started at 3:30 and the last people left at 12:30. That's an 8 hour workday, plus 1 hour overtime!!!
So, I ended up going to sleep with the beginnings of a chest cold. On Sunday I woke up sick. Seymen woke up sick too...but the self-inflicted kind ;-). We had all sorts of intentions of getting up, out of the PJs, and going to home depot to get a ladder...and to finish sanding our cupboards...Unfortunately, the furthest we made it was to the couch, and occasionally out to the deck to pick up some of the party stuff.
By 9:00PM we hadn't left the house, nor gotten dressed. But we had to drop off my dad's car, so I went in my bathrobe, Seymen in his PJ pants (but nice sweater on top) to Wegmans (for nyqil for me...) and my dad's to pick up my car. (Don't worry...I stayed in the car with my bathrobe while Seymen ran into wegmans ;-).
So, sunday was really uneventful...but a much needed rest for both of us. It was the first time, in the 9 years that I've been with Seymen, that I've ever seen him take a nap. Amazinggg :-)
