At all.
I know tremendously capable party planners who think of every detail and have a coordination of events and can COOK for goodness sake. As for myself, it's a bit of a challenge. So I pick myself up by the boot straps and play up my strengths when it comes to party planning:
-Witty names for themes, snacks, and favors.
-painting signage.
-chatting it up at said party.
...then pray for the best.
All that to say I have a LOT to do before this Saturday.
I'll report back on my skills as they will be tested greatly in the next two months!
Did anyone see Oprah yesterday? I loved it. I love Stevie Nicks. I love her voice, her outfits, her songwriting, the whole lot. In a vain attempt to get one of my girls named after her, I campaigned for the name "Stevie" to Tyler BOTH times we were expecting. I thought it was sort of kitsch and I could then kill two birds with one stone; desired name and thus ALSO named after their father and grandfather.
And no. My campaign slid downhill faster than Howard Dean's after his infamous hyena scream.
Speaking of performances on Oprah: I loved Pat Benatar. Solid pipes, that one.
But let's be honest. Did or did not Avril Lavigne look like a female Edward Scissor Hands standing there next to her? Or at the very least some type of alien standing in between Pat and her hubby...
Just an observation.
Yours reconsidering studs,

I love you, Chelsea Bell! I soon as I saw this title, I knew it was a must read. As for cooking, today a man at the grocery store asked me if I knew how to make a soup base. I told him to find a cute little old lady to ask. How should I know? Cook shmook, that's what Campbell's is for. Too bad I didn't yell at him all Howard Dean style, "Look in aisle 7, then try 8, THEN TAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO AISLE 9!!"
That would've been fun for everyone.
It would've been so much funnier if I typed correctly "Dean Howard" instead of Howard Dean. Shoot.
Yes, I did watch Oprah and yes, I too LOVE Stevie Nix and Pat Benetar....Joan Jett, your speaking voice is too much like a man!
Heidi proceeded to cry for an hour after saying she did not like the song Landslide and then recanted feeling SUPER bad and hoping that Oprah was in fact a pretend show and not real so that Stevie's feeling wouldn't be hurt. OH BROTHER! This is how she is about EVERYTHING lately UGH!
Also, I'm sure your party will be FAB! Arrggghh! The theme is amazing and Harper will LOVE!
PS I wish Harper was named Stevie. Her personality would fit that to a T. (I DO LOVE the name Harper too)
No I agree!! It would totally fit the tooth. I do wish it was Stevie sometimes! Maybe God has a plan for us to adopt another baby girl...then FOR SURE. Take no prisoners;) Oh, Heidi-that is hysterical! Except maybe not for you...
Holly, that is too funny. A soup base? come again? hahaha
Haha, Holla you were right the first time! I got confused...
1. I'm not a natural born party planner either. 100% last minute every single time. (you think I would learn?)
2. I'm sure Baby H's party will be pirate-y perfect. Can't wait to see pictures. (at least you can take that off your plate with Andrea!)
3. I'll tell you a story about Stevie Nicks on Monday.
4. Can't wait to see you and Andrea and meet all the Bell girls!
