When I had a total thyroidectomy in April of this year I had no idea that I would feel like a pile of dog pooh. That's putting it nicely and let's just say, family friendly. I've been achy...in places that have never ached a day in my life...not unmentionable places you sickos. I have no energy and my metabolism, well I'm pretty sure my deceased grandma's metabolism is likely functioning higher than mine is right now. I would also complain about the trail of hair that falls out behind me but I just can't because my friend Steph who battled cancer earlier this year and last - well that just seems petty and whiney. So I don't feel myself these days and I've had a lot of stress the past few months as mentioned in my earlier post, but birthdays, they just don't wait for high kicks and perfect lives.
So what's a 40-year old woman to do? Have a party. And I'll tell you what, we had a party. A perfectly pretty party at the park. Complete with piquant nachos and palatable, petite cupcakes! A special thank you to my sis, Brenda and to my niece, Michelle for their extra hard work. Also, to my Mom for her financial backing (as always Mom).
Thank you too to my sweetie and to all of my family and dear friends that came and celebrated with me. It was sincerely a lovely evening.

You're welcome for the photo bomb. I"ll happily comply to that anytime :)
It was a wonderful party! Glad we were able to pull it off! And Oh Amy!
I so should be in the USU friends photo! :( I'm so sorry I missed the party, and oh my God those cupcakes, now I'm really sad that I missed the party!
