May is triple birthday party month, and today was the day. Ginny, Mary Beth and Becca were the guests of honor. Ginny got them all "birthday diva" crowns and she made sashes for them. She got the idea when we were in Natchez and ran into a trio of ladies from Nashville who were having a birthday weekend. Ginny decided that she wanted a lighter meal so we made grilled chicken salads. That sounds very weight conscious, doesn't it? Well the whole story would find that before the healthy salad the ladies wolfed down all sorts of hors d'oeuvres and fruity alcoholic drinks. For desert there were monster calorie laden cupcakes. They were cut into quarters so that the babes wouldn't feel too guilty about eating tons of calories. Let's see, four quarters makes a whole one. Funny how that works. And so a good time was had by all. They felt good about having salads and I felt good because I didn't have to pay attention to the conversation because it wasn't intended for me anyway. Life is good. |
