Thankfully!

It's in the 70s and sunny - perfect weather for my annual family barbecue. I'm taking an hour to relax before I start getting ready for all of the things I need to do. 

This is my family event to plan and, admittedly, I'm not 100% up to it, so I'm cheating a little. I bought:

  • frozen berries for my berry-topped angel food cake
  • pre-cooked bacon bits for my broccoli salad 
  • Josè Cuervo margaritas that have the booze in them

Now to decide what to wear besides sunscreen...

Hope everyone has a good weekend!*yahoo*

Please share! I have been on the hunt for a good one. My little guy, surprisingly, LOVES broccoli and I am looking for a different way to serve it.
