I'm having a party!!!

Saturday nite - 8 o'clock and you are all invited!!!

As you know my birthday fell on a Super Bowl weekend and I was unable to plan anything last week - because all eyes would have been on the TV instead of the thing most important....ME!

I have invited a mix of family, friends and co-workers and a neighbor or two. I hope everyone comes - even for a hour...And that they bring ME a present!

I have worked diligently on my backyard. I will take credit because I paid for the work - therefore it's MINE!!!

I pray that the weather - though in the 50's today warms a little so that people will be more interested in ME as opposed to how cold they are.

I scrutinized the food offerings and have settled on a drink d'jour. I made sure my lights all worked, my torches were filled and my chiminea has a log of wood. I bought hanging lights that glow and no lights (yes - I am talking that huge floodlight by my back door) - besides those that are aflame are allowed.

I banned children - although I know its going to be ignored. "Sorry - we couldn't get a sitter and we really wanted to come...I am sure you understand." Whatever - Just watch them around the open flames - I am not responsible for anyone catching fire!

Yes - you may have to sit on the floor (there are pillows) - but it's cool at all the places on SoBe - just wear something comfy - I will make sure there is no doggy poop.

See you all there and don't forget ......

The presents!!!!
