30 (Plus 1 For Good Luck)

I have been listening to this mix since the beginning of July.

Listen to it in a coffee shop while drinking strong coffee, and a splash of cream. Listen in the morning when the sun streams into the shop. Don't forget to get your coffee club card punched.

Party Time

It was my birthday on June 20th, and also Father's Day. Its a tricky time to have a birthday, so I opted to have a party on the 26th instead. I invited what seemed like a gazillion people, but knowing me and my luck only a handful showed up. Don't fret people because this handful of people were quite the bunch! I had a great time, and all my guests got along swimmingly!
Let me tell you, it is hard working getting ready for a party. The planning, buying of food and drink, cleaning, decorating, cooking. After all of that I was ready for a nap. The layer cake took the longest since I only have two pans, but it was obviously well worth it!
