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...
Best - Definitely 25th anniversary in May. We made the most with what we could do in a pandemic and it turned out great. Worst - no doubt the health issue roller coaster. I am not going to put pressure on 2022 to be great. Not making that mistake again. All 2022 has to do is be a bit better and that will be fine with me.
ReplyDeleteLastly, I like seeing the hump day polls so I say keep them coming!
Probably the biggest worst (old job) and best (new job), but for the slow burn I would say the best has been the improvements in our relationship. We've put A LOT of work into our marriage this year and I am so proud of us.
ReplyDeleteBoy, there was lots of good and too much bad, but I'd say the best was turning 50 and how special the hubs made that with writings and very special gifts that touched me deeply. Along with that are some solid changes I've incorporated since turning half a century old. The bad would have to be all the deaths of friends, co-workers, and acquaintances, either from Covid, cancers, or horrific tragedies.
ReplyDeleteAs for the hump day polls, I like 'em! I always enjoy seeing what each week will bring.
Not gonna lie, have a hard time coming up with the best day or time this year. Can't wait for it to be over. I have to start Journaling again to capture the good things. I like the polls. Alot of times I tap out a long response and then it errors out and I cuss lol.
