Five things you need to know today.

1. The party was great. Everyone had a lot of fun as far as I know.

2. I was drastically overserved. I poured myself one glass of wine when the party started and oddly enough it never got more than halfway empty before it miraculously expanded into a full glass again.

3. My hair hurts. And every other cell in my body. Julie + Wine - Food = Major Wineover.

4. This....



....was amazing. Chocolate buttercream frosting, chocolate cake and cream cheese filling. Holy Mother of Cakes. Weight Watcher Points = Eleventy Billion. The good news is that last night I was so busy draining several wine bottles entertaining my guests that for the most part, I forgot to eat. Somewhere around midnight I had a small sampling of the cake, unfortunately my taste buds were too drunk to fully enjoy it. So the bad news is that today...I have sampled it twice. Ugh. It's my personal belief that I have used up the remainder of this week's WW points and will be drinking water for the next four days. (Thanks again, Maggie for getting the cake for me. Remind me I owe you the money for it!)

5. I'm so freaking tired I'm about to fall asleep typing this. This is been the busiest two weeks of my life....first going to Vegas and then being in full party plan mode the minute I got back. This last three days have been nonstop, work from early morning to late night, plus there was a lot of emotion involved, and general concern about throwing a party. (I don't do parties. My sisters do the family functions, I just show up.) Seriously, I am looking forward to going back to work tomorrow just to sit down for eight hours!

That's it. The five things you needed to know today. See you tomorrow.

I'm sure you're passed on your computer keyboard by now but if not, please tell Jordan congratulations on all of his hardwork. What's planned for the summer for him?

I sure wish I had been there. That sounded like a slammin' party. I wonder why your wine glass never got empty??? Hmmmm...

I'm just tired reading about it. That's the kind of exhaustion (minus the hangover) that feels good, thought, right? RIGHT?

Sounds like a great party. The cake looks looks delicious. Chocolate cakes are always my favorite. It would be hard to resist for me too.

Well you can definetly that the last two weeks have been some great moments for you. I am also sure that the memories are priceless. You have done a great job.
So did you rent the never-ending glass of wine or do I need to snap my fingers and make a wish??? lol

Oh boy! Sounds like a great party! Since I can't drink wine anymore, I would have devoured the whole cake and would now be having a sugar jag hangover.

Congrats Jordan!!

So glad the party went well! I knew adulthood was going to suck when I realized it takes a lot more to host a party than tapping a keg and opening a bad of Doritos.

Congratulations, Jordan!

The cake looks DE-LISH! Congrats to Jordan!! One chapter closed; another one about to begin. Ahhhh...to be young again. Except I'd want to already know certain things that I had to learn the hard way.
