Today of all days...

I need to surround myself with things I love. Yes...I'm a year older today.
This phenomenon happens each and every year. I'm powerless to stop it.
No one can. How old am I? Not telling! :)
So...Jeffery Donovan from Burn Notice. The Closer. Fried Cheesecake. Coffee. Reading.
What do these seemingly random things have in common?
"These are a few of my favorite things..." to quote a famous song.
What do you surround yourself with on birthdays?

The Final Birthday

Yes, the final birthday for this month is mine.
Happy Birthday to me.

This means that I'll be doing whatever I want to today.
And this does not include laundry. FYI.

But it does mean that I'm having my favorite dessert tonight. Fried cheesecake with strawberry sauce and whipped cream.
Yum!









If you already know how old I am...you don't need to put it in writing anywhere.
If you don't know...then I'm not telling. :)
I like to think of myself as young at heart.

Now my kids know down to the nanosecond how old I am.
But they'll be too busy doing laundry today to answer any questions about how old I am. :)
Muwahahaha.

15 Years ago...

in a country far, far away...on a remote island...
(okay so it was the Azores, Portugal)
I gave birth to a sweet baby boy.





He's the baby of our family. The younger of two boys.
When he was little, he was such a pistol!! The very definition of the word rambunctious, he didn't stop moving even when he slept. :)

Not only is he fifteen years old today...the truth is...
he's taller than me.
Sniff, sniff. I just can't get over get over that fact that I have to look up at him now. :)

Happy Birthday to you my sweet baby boy!









I hope you have a marvelous day.
Tonight...Chinese Food and Chocolate Cake!
