The roads are STILL icy, the weather is STILL below freezing and has been for days, our fireplace is STILL working overtime to keep our toes warm. It's bizarre and the entire area is collectively over it, I think.
So, I've been thinking a lot this week about a spring party I'm planning to throw this April to warm my thoughts if not my everything else while it's 17 degrees out. A party to celebrate meeting goals and running races and welcoming warm weather before that warm weather turns to unbearable heat.
A few things up my sleeve for my spring fling:
Invitations! (But which ones?)
(Leaning towards) Mums invitations
A party dress (but which one?)
I'd also like to serve things like: double chocolate and pear cakes, strawberry scones, and salad with poached eggs. Also, some Kir Royales, possibly served in blush champagne flutes.
This is what I do when the weather or work or what have you gets me down: I plan something to look forward to. That's the definition of happiness, right?, having something to look forward to.
Sunshine and spring and bubbly.
What are you looking forward to?
