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.
