So, what better way to manage being stressed than to talk about desserts. They are, after all, exact opposites.
This is easy for me to do for a couple of reasons. First, I LOVE dessert (I got my dad's sweet tooth) which exactly the reason I don't want to publicly post myself wearing a bathing suit. Second I spent last evening playing Bunco with a great group of women (in which Cheryl, Cassie, Toni, and Jessica were included - you all are jealous, I know). While I didn't win anything... Biggest Winner; Most Buncos; Biggest Loser; ... or even the Biggest-Loser-who-at-least-gets-the door-prize I did walk away with a yummy new dessert recipe. I hesitate even calling it a recipe, because there is absolutely no baking required. It is - I think - a creative twist on some familiar ingredients.
Here it is... simple as one, two, three... (1) strawberries, (2) sour cream, and (3) brown sugar. Dip strawberries in sour cream and then roll in brown sugar. It is better than any thing your imagination will conjour up. How about making a deal with yourself to try it before the weekend is over. If any of my other Bunco buddies are reading this, feel free to chime in and post a review my recommended dessert (which was compliments of our set-the-benchmark-high host, Cynthia).
Ok, signing off for the day. If you check back sometime later tonight or even tomorrow, I might post pictures from Matthew's birthday party.
Signing off and Reaching for 5,000!

Yummy, Yummy and Yummy!
That's all I can say!
Sounds yuck but they are YUMMY!
It was fun seeing you last night! Hope you have a successful birthday party today for Matthew. Now, I liked the strawberries in the sour cream and brown sugar but I didn't think it was "slap your momma good" like Wendy said. I think the best things about it is that it was light and not heavy like a lot of desserts can be. Hmmm... was sitting here trying to think which dessert is my favorite... and I can't decide.
One last thing, if you get this soon enough, maybe you could run to Target and get a "Special Birthday Boy Cup" for Matthew. Or pull one out of your cabinets. Of course, some amount of acting will be required. :)
Claudia, just wishing you all a great day! Enjoy every minute! Im sure it will all work out great! Do you still put those "confetti" pieces in the cards?? Every year I would forget and open my card and have to pick up hundreds of little pieces.....
It was nice being remembered I just wish a maid would have jumped out of the next card!
Have fun and enjoy the "madness"
