Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
Portillo's is a great surprise and I thank you for it. Cannot wait to have that as I've been craving it for a while now. No other major plans that I can think of but I am looking forward to the weekend because this week has kind of dragged on. Have a great weekend everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm deep in my annual deep clean/declutter (still - why does it take so long?). Yardwork and then working on the basement today. Then we'll just have bedrooms left.
ReplyDeleteWatching the kiddo do his part is painful - he wants to keep everything and he is a butterfly and I'm a cricket.

I'm also in the get rid of it all phase, and he has like 3 things in the donate bin and 1 in the trash. I stress him out just as badly though b/c I keep trying to "teach him to do it right" - but I have to remember that our brains just don't work the same and that's ok.
It's going to be blazingly hot this weekend (again) so there will be a lot of hiding inside in the AC.
I'm pretty much just doing house stuff, and if I were smart (jury still out on that) I'd work in the kitchen to prepare for the cabinet to arrive in a few weeks. I have to work so that will take up most of the time. Hubs has to work tomorrow, so it'll be me and pooches until I leave for work. Laundry is the highlight for today. Scintillating.
