Lemons

May 30 2025.

Bailey woke me up this morning with a knock, and I got ready pretty quickly.

I did steam my shirt, and lint roll it.

Once we were all ready we headed to breakfast at Big Bad Breakfast.

It was okay. I had a ham and cheese omelette, and a cinnamon roll.

The cinnamon roll was very dry, by design, it just wasn’t what I wanted.

I was hoping for something like a Cinnabon.

After breakfast we went to a nice mall.

I was really surprised to see hardly any empty shops.

And most stores were very well staffed.

I will say I noticed everything in the store at Saint Laurent was pretty old, which surprised me.

We have some dated merchandise on our floor, but they had as much new merchandise as I have old.

Also, if they had a visit like we have a visit, they would be shut down.

From the mall we went to Trader Joe’s. Most of the party needs were met here.

Then we dropped Lauren at Costco, and Bailey and I went to Publix to buy crostini, which they no longer have. After a very confusing “incident” about a year ago.

So Bailey just got bread to make our own.

We then picked up Lauren, and came back to her place to start preparing for her party.

I made lots of lemon juice. Then lemon wedges. Then a dry mixture for an oil and herbs dip. And then I worked on floral arrangements.

This was a good stopping point, so we headed to our rooms to change.

Back downstairs I helped set the tables, and then I just kept doing random things.

I made a few martinis.

Next thing you know I’m clearing dinner plates, and cutting birthday cake, and serving a party.

My cousin’s friends had no idea who I was, so it’s understandable a few thought I was the help.

Especially since I was all in black.

We cleaned everything up pretty well, and should have another big day tomorrow.

Until Tomorrow.
