Way Back When-esday!

I am probably going to get in trouble for posting this pic but it was the only one I could find of this memorable event. This was Jackie's surprise 40th birthday party at Spaghetti Warehouse in Marietta. It was held Friday, July 21, 2006. Greg and I had planned for weeks for this night. Everything was going great...the guests had rsvp'd, cake was ordered....every little detail taken care of. The staff at SW even called me that day to confirm and ask how I wanted the tables set up. The perfect party, right? Ummmm...wrong. We got there and there was NO AIR CONDITIONING in the building. This was July, people. In Georgia! what were they thinking? Yep, the air had been broken for 2 weeks and they failed to tell us. Uggggghhhh! I was livid!

After a 8 1/2 month pregnant woman almost passing out, a 3 year old puking (yeah, Katy that would be your child) and my little personalized chocolates melting everywhere....I complained to upper management and the whole party (except alcohol) was comped. We still sweltered into the night....but it made things a little easier to take! As if turning 40 isn't trauma enough!
