Party Preparations

I will say I was not really into hosting the Michael Jackson party this year, mostly because it's expensive and we are on one income. I told Tim I was going to cancel and he said "This is the best party of the year we can't cancel, people love it!" So it shall be. I will say I've been really diligent about cutting back on my spending, more so than ever in my life. The way I have been able to do it is I don't leave the house! That's one way to not spend. So we will be hosting our 3rd Annual "One Glove" party next Saturday to honor the King of Pop's life.

I'm in total party preparations mode this weekend, making out shopping lists, preparing day by day action items that we have to get done to be ready. Last night our "to-do" was to assemble and test an outdoor movie screen we will be using at the party this year! I'll be projecting Michael Jackson videos in the backyard as part of the musical entertainment. We ran "This is It" after dark and set up camp chairs and watched. It worked amazing. It's going to be very cool.

I'm also doing a taco bar that I am most excited about. I found a blog post with the most organized, properly planned taco bar that I have ever seen in my life. I can't wait to post pics of mine.

Juicing!

The movie "Hungry for Change" motivated me to try and make a change in my eating. And I emphasize try because we all know that is something I battle with every day.

I have a Vitamix blender that I got 5 years ago that I have only used for frozen daiquiris! It makes a great daiquiri, but I have always wanted to use it to eat better. Today I made my first juice; orange and grapefruit with ginger.

Eventually I will embark on the "green" drinks but one step at a time, sweet Jesus!
