My MOTHER the Party Stealer....

Well i'm happy to announce that painting is finished... on the outside of the house! I even started repainting the mess my 14 year old self made in the kitchen.  With fresh white paint on the house and the crisp green lawn, the 'Blanca' is shaping up in fine form.   I even took down the Flamingo Drive -In sign for a fresh coat of paint I dindt realize just how faded it had become!

 I promise I will take better, full pictures of the things we fixed (where you can actually tell) this weekend.  On Sunday it will be a special occasion because my mom is Celebrating her 50th BIRTHDAY!  (which BTW she deiced she wanted to have a party about 2 weeks ago...  I haven't been telling you the back story of "As Time Goes By"  Its all I talk about of late, and  my mother is STILL firmly convinced this is something iv 'dreamed up'  And 'Who are these People, and where did you meet them?' every time I mention Chris, Michael, Nick and Debra...  So when she decied to have a big blow out party thew conversation went like this....

(I was drawing the top secret plans for the "As Time Goes By" cake)

Mom:" So what are we doing for my Birthday?"

Mick: "Hmm what do you want to do?"

Mom:" Oh I'm not sure... WAIT! I know, Lets have a sock hop themed cook out at the lake, You can bring all your dance records and the player, lets see we'll have a hula hoop contest, I'll invite everyone we know... OH and you can show a movie on the Drive-in that night!"

Mick: "Wow mom, sounds like a cool party.... wonder where iv heard it before..."

Mom: "Im sure I don't know what you mean" (she was being serious)

Mick: "...As Time Goes By..."

Mom: "What the Hell is that?"

Mick: "June 19th....!"

Mom: (blank look)

Mick: "The 5 year party?!"

Mom: (blank/ distracted look)

Mick: "MY BIRTHDAY PARTY?!"

Mom: "Oh,...yeah.... what about that?"

Mick: (slams head down on kitchen table....)

So be sure when your at the party (Deb, Nick, Mike, and Chris) to walk up to my mother and say "Hi I'm  __________ from __________ I follow yours sons blog, and that's why I'm here tonight." To affirm the fact that YES, people actually do read this crap! Haha!
