plan b

wednesday was supposed to be blogger moms go boating, but it rained. so instead, we went to janae's house for a creative day, ate yummy chicken salad and laughed and until we cried -karrie, you are too funny! thursday was supposed to be blogger moms go to the cheescake factory to celebrate my birthday, but patsy fell on her morning walk and broker her ankle. so instead, they decorated patsy's house, ordered food and fabulous lemon pie and made me a party there so she could keep her foot up and rest but still be in on the party. today, my SIL jenny, who shares my same birthday, and i, were supposed to go to our traditional birthday lunch spot, happy sumo and eat sushi to celebrate our big days, but it ended up being a really busy day. so instead we went to paradise and discovered their yummy creamy wild rice soup and chatted about her recent trip to hawaii. so far this week, nothing has gone according to plan, but hey, plan 'b' has been GREAT. i'm sure plan 'a' would've been nice too, but i did get lots of laughs and tons of stuff done on wednesday that i wouldn't have otherwise. i did get a party with balloons and steamers, and a loud volumn of laughter that wouldn't have gone too well in public. and today i discovered a new favorite soup, not to mention the time we saved staying local. so, i'll take plan b, it's working for me and it's way better than no plan. and...i'm grateful for flexible friends who make everything great no matter what or where we're doing it!
