Hello again! The party was successful. Aidan got toys he liked and everyone had cake, and we forgot the sorbet in the freezer, so we're eating it now.
Instead of making my own shortcake, I cheated and bought a chocolate marble pound cake from the grocery store. It was amazingly good. I topped it with Kool Whip (for the lack of lactose) and sliced strawberries. Aidan thought blowing out the #2 candle was pretty awesome, and said, "YAY AIDAN!" when we all clapped for him.
Thanks for all the happy birthdays. He's quite bewildered by them, but I'm having fun popping up at him with happy birthday wishes. I love how he blinks when he's startled.
So, I watched the Superbowl (or, more the commercials) with some friends, and now I'm home and watching the Puppybowl, on Animal Planet. It is seriously random, but oddly endearing.
YAY AIDEN! Indeed.
I have survived the weekend, and it was OK. Possibly even fun, if I were the type of person who would allow that to happen instead of stressing out about all the stress. Which, luckily, I can be, upon occasion. My mom seemed really happy, and everyone seemed to have a good time, and things more or less went according to plan. As an event planner, I love it when things go according to plan.
Also, as my dad told me over lunch, the project stayed on budget. Again, event planner gold!
Now, where did I put those participant evaluation forms...
Plus, yay, Pats won the Superbowl again because they are unstoppable. But the Eagles are a good team, though young. Get them through another playoff season in the next year or two and they may well be a force to be reckoned with. They remind me of the Patriots with Drew Bledsoe.
OK, bed now, big week coming up.

It's the Yule Log for the football holiday.
Puppy Bowl watch and post. I'm not sure if that's a new high or low for us.
Superbowl commercials - my favorite had to be the persian cat and the tomato sauce.
I went to a Super Bowl party where we mostly watched the commercials and played Trivial Pursuit. It was fun.
Adult Swim has a full length mp3 version of the song composed for the Venture Brothers season finale death scene. It's faux folk rock: Look Away
Thanks Daniel.
What I really really really want is the two songs they play at the beginning and ending of Super Milk Chan.
(Daniel must be backing away slowly by now....)
Sadly, it's not available, officially: [link]
Okay, not sadly....
