Hiya BetterMost friends.
It was a busy weekend!
On Friday we had a power outage at work, and I had to work from home until 12:30. I was able to get the cleaning done, and my laundry as well. After work I had to run out to House of Cupcakes.
On Saturday we had a double birthday party. My bday is Jan 15th, and my dad's is Jan 14th. He turned 80, and I turned 50. Mom wanted to have a party, but trying to have one in winter with the possibility of bad weather doesn't work, so we rented a hall and had the party yesterday.
It was a lot of fun. About 110 people were there, and we all had a good time. Planning the menu was some work, trying to make sure we had food for those who have dietary restrictions. We had people who were vegan, gluten allergic, and dairy allergic. That's why I was at House of Cupcakes, I was getting some gluten free and dairy free cupcakes.
Got there early to set-up, stayed a little later to clean up, and helped my parents get everything home and sorted.
Today I had to go buy stuff for the bowling End of Season banquet. The league pairs all the teams up, and each pairing puts together a basket that will be raffled off at the banquet.
I went shopping, and we're supplying the banquet with a "Classic Candy" basket. With the $60.00 we donated, here is our haul for the basket. You can click the pic to make it bigger.
As for the car, it's an SUV by Hundai called the Santa Fe. It's about 2 feet longer than the one I have now. As for why I'm getting that one, I'm thinking of a move in the future, so that cargo space will come in handy. Also, mom doesn't drive, and my dad now no longer likes to drive at night. I may be called on to be a chauffeur for mom and dad from time-to-time, so I should have a car that has room I will need.
