A Full House

This weekend was a whirl of wine, champagne and cheese based snacks- all of which have me moving a bit slower for a Monday.

When I say there were cheese based snacks, I'm talking taco dip, artichoke spinach dip, feta spinach dip, beer cheese, salami cream cheese rolls ups. Oh so yummy were they all - oh so tight are my pants today.

And when I say a whirl of champagne and wine, I'm talking bottles of mimosas and sparkletinis and close to a case of wine. Luckily, there was also many, many glasses of water consumed and bottles of Gatorade and Advil were generously stocked. Our house was overflowing with laughter and noise and now it feels a bit too quiet.

The downside to a house full of friends? A certain two-and-a-half-year-old who was lavished with attention and gifts and instant playmates. She got to play tutus, read books, play hide-and-seek, and generally be the center of every one's attention.

Now it's just Mommy, and plain old Mommy is just not good enough.
