Birthday or Bust
Well I’m just going to be honest with all of you right here the birthday was a semi bust. Now don’t get me wrong my family did a great job elaborating me but all the plans I had in my head flew right out the window by Tuesday. How many of you make these grand plans in your mind and all of a sudden life happens and hijacks everything you were planning. Oh wait, 2020 was hijacked by Covid-19, we should all be familiar with this.
But, wait! I should be exempt because I was thinking of a special quarantine party, right? Yeah, NO!
Truth is, it was all still in my head by Tuesday and no plans had actually been made so therefor nothing happened, or did it?
My sister is the queen of birthday bashes and she had a loose idea of what I wanted, so she put together a great island dinner party for me, that was my theme. I wanted to do an island theme because I couldn’t go on vacation this year due to Covid-19.
Shot! Shot! Shot!
What is a birthday bash without shots! So she put this Tequila board together for me so we could turn up! One time for quarantine! She did it all while I spent four days focusing and re-imagining who I want to be and who I am as a sister, friend, business woman and educator at Tony Robbin’s Ultimate Power Within seminar.
UPW started on my birthday but, I still took a little time out to enjoy this amazing and fabulous meal with the Fam. There were cocktail crab cakes, spicy glazed wings, fried plantains, conk fritters and crispy crunchy fresh fried fish, Mmmmmm.
I am immensely grateful for the experience of UPW but, I’m even more grateful for my sister and family who celebrated me during this crazy time of social distancing. Now, back to my lack of planning, when I tell you I did not plan far enough in advance I didn’t have a clue. I typically spend my days running around like a chicken with my head cut off but this was the week my head got chopped off. Honestly, I thrive under the pressure but it also leads to unplanned interruptions and unfocused baking. I’m getting back together for you guys and soon we will be back to baking together.
