…because it’s Oscar time!

Today is one of my favorite days of the year. I have to confess; I love movies and am fascinated by all things Hollywood. With a number of aunties who have graced the silver screen and one with a star on Hollywood Blvd., my family’s had a long history in Hollywood. I was even born on the Sunset Strip. So blame the genes.

So my day will be about prepping for my annual Oscar Party. It’s a girls-only event, since I discovered early on that the majority of husbands/boyfriends don’t really care and kids are well…lovely, but a huge distraction. It’s a long awards show and keeping a child entertained while trying to get a glimpse of the Clooney in his tuxedo is impossible. So hubbies and kids are out.

Caitlin, my daughter, and I have our menu planned and we did our marketing yesterday. This year’s theme is Italian and will include a roasted red pepper dish, margherita pizza, portobello mushrooms in evoo, asparagus in lemon, crusty bread, baked penne with roasted veggies, and a pear tart plus spumoni ice cream and chocolate brownie for dessert. We have decorations to put up, our Oscar ballots to print out, and lots of cleaning to do but come 4:00 pm, it’s all about me, my friends, and the red carpet.

Let me know if you want to come; there’s plenty of food.
