So I was reading a blog.
It belongs to a mommy who started planning months in advance for her toddler's birthday party.
I felt all smug. Who needs months and months to plan for a toddler party? I have thrown together some fantastic soirees in much shorter time.
Then I realized I was guilty of spending months and months and months getting ready for a little girl's party.
My own.
As far back as January when I was at the Mexican market, I saw this fantastic princess cake for a Quinceanera. I made a mental note that I wanted that cake for my birthday (seriously don't try to go get it - it's approximately the size of a Volkswagen Bug).
I've thought about my need for candy necklaces and bracelets, but this may not have as much to do with my birthday as my secret plan of having strings of sugar around my neck and wrists to get the Pastor to nibble on me.
I've dropped some not-so-subtle hints that maybe it was time for Mom to finish recuperating from her knee replacement surgery and get busy making me some oatmeal cookies.
I've thought about my pre-birthday diet - the key word being thought - how I want to look amazing for my special day. Or, more likely, how I want to make sure I have plenty of room to gorge on cake and Mexican food.
I apologize to you, random blogger. And I offer you this warning: be careful of how elaborate you make her parties now. You may create a monster.

Again, you outdo yourself whenever the topic is frosting.. so funny. I want to go and get a Quinceanera cake now... I just told this great in town baker that I need help with a mermaid cake for my daughter's b-day. She asked for how many? I told her 6 and said that I like the cake in big slices---about the size of a "little person." She thinks I am kidding. I need a new baker!
