FRIDAY STIR FRY - What A Party!

http://bit.ly/1m0AhDX

I had this fear that I would throw a party and nobody would show up. It wasn't an unfounded fear. When my daughter turned 8, we planned a party at the local skating rink. We reserved one of the party rooms, sent out invitations, and had cake and decorations. Nobody came. I ran around like crazy calling parents and begging them to let me pick up their kids so there would be some people there for my daughter's big day. We finally managed a handful of kids. Broke my heart. So, you see, I have previous experience.

History did not repeat itself, however.

About 45 people came to my book launch party. My writer friends, co-workers, drinking buddies, and even some high school friends. It was a success by all accounts. Pictures below will attest to that. There's even a couple of videos you need to check out.

I was exhausted for several days after. All the excitement of being published and promoting myself and the party really took it out of me. But it was a good tired. Not an "I cleaned house all day" tired. Thanks to everyone who came. You guys are the best. And a big thank you to Trolley's https://www.facebook.com/trolleysparkcentralpub  Couldn't have done it without your support.
