Yesterday was my granddaughter’s 6th birthday. Her mom decided to throw her and 11 of her best girlies a “Princess Party.”
I tell you what.
After a crazy day of a dozen princesses running around and laughing and screaming and doing a dance freeze contest and having a tea party drinking tea (cranberry juice and 7UP) from China cups (pinkies up) and star-shaped PB&J sandwiches and me dressing up as the Fairy Grandmother, I’ll tell you what.
When I turn 72 ~I~ am going to throwing ~me~ a Princess Party!
I can’t remember many birthday parties with cake and hats and girls running around squealing and opening presents –not necessarily because my mom never threw birthday parties, but more like ~I~ don’t remember.
But do you know how much fun it would be to have a bunch of my girlfriends (and family/others) wear princess dresses and tiaras and drink tea (or Bailey’s) out of a China cup and make star salami sandwiches and blast oldies music with a bunch of best friends? 40s and 50s and 60s and 70s all dancing in the living room to “Kick Start My Heart” and serving crescent moon shaped brownies and sharing stories of our ancient dating life while passing around the ibuprofen? How can I resist?
I don’t want to wait until its my “Claudia’s Celebration of Life” day to see how much my friends and family miss me and wish I was around again to play and be airy fairy.
I want to do it now. Not just for me, but for my family. For my friends. I need to add some positive vibrations to this sometimes ugly world.
My birthday is in December, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have a pre-party princess party in July!
Why should grandbabies have all the fun?

Yes. I am trying to do that more and more. You only get one chance before your choice goes into the past… why not make your choices happy ones?

I know they’ve been around for a while — I often thought of throwing tea parties at my B&B, but never took a chance. Now I’m DEFINITELY taking that chance!
