Never Say Never
All the
finger and toe crossing in the world didn’t prevent the inevitable which is to
say that I also succumbed to the vomit show.
Talk about the pits. I still
don’t feel right with the world. So
please excuse my unexplained absence.
In
other news, The Monster is turning 4 this weekend. I am really into parties and birthdays but I
am very glad that my cousin is hosting the Derby/birthday party this year
instead of me.
Admittedly,
at first, I was sort of bummed not to be hosting my Derby bash, which
conveniently coincides closely with Pieti’s birthday. But
after this past week of enduring sickness and exhaustion at Chez V (I am currently suffering another round of insomnia on the
heels of that creeping crud - at last count I haven’t slept 4 nights in the
last 6), I couldn’t even imagine planning/hosting a party 4 days
from now.

The
party, falling on May 5th, is
aptly a Derby de Mayo party this year. Pieti’s
birthday is a day apart from her cousin Lewis, so for simplicity sake, we are
celebrating Derby, birthdays, and Cinco de Mayo in one fell swoop.
In the
past, I was one of those smug creative types who swore up and down to never
have a licensed character birthday party – you know, of the Dora/Thomas/Spongebob/Hello Kitty variety. But her cousin is REALLY into Super Mario right now and Pieti is in
between obssessions, so Super Mario it is for the children’s portion of the
day’s festivities. And I, for one, am in
no shape to object.
In
addition to some of my traditional Derby Party fare, I am also contributing the
gift bags for the kiddos. At least in this,
I can exercise my creative muscles a bit.
Because frankly, that Super Mario stuff is super spendy.
So this week, I am never saying never and happy to do so.
kisses, mrs.
V
