It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Birthday celebrants, and Bloggy un-birthday folks!

It's my mother's birthday today. Happy Birthday, Mom!

She has already opened her present from us that I mailed earlier this week - a pink 'Nashville' baseball cap and matching t-shirt.

She was going to save her birthday cards to open today.

I found this photo of a chocolate cake on the internet - chocolate is her favorite. My favorite cake is chocolate cake with white icing, by the way.

Thanks for being a great mother, Mom! Happy Birthday (again)!

I hope you won't mind if I post this picture - check out the cats-eye sunglasses. ;-)

I don't remember whose birthday it was (or even if it was for a birthday), but one of my sisters made a cake once that was so hard we could have sharpened knives on it.

We threw it out the window, by the way. That made me chuckle out loud.

My sister is a great cook now, never fear.

Coincidentally, this is also the birthday of a former co-worker, so Happy Birthday to Carl, too!

It's nice to have a birthday that sometimes coincides with a holiday weekend. Very occasionally that happens to me too, with MLK day in January.

It's also nice to have a birthday in a season with nice weather. My birthday and my daughter's birthday are in the winter - so you can't have outdoor parties and things like that to celebrate. (Roll sound clip of sympathy moans from the audience).

Well, it's already 9:30 and I think I'd better get some things done because we're running errands, going to go see the new X-men movie, and we have company coming for dinner (Our company is BRINGING us dinner - that's a new twist!).

We've already been up, read the paper (which was late again), and had breakfast.

Charlie's breakfast - 3 slices of french toast with butter and real Maine maple syrup, 3 slices bacon, and fresh sliced tomato.

My breakfast - bacon, egg and tomato on a light Thomas's english muffin.

I made my wontons yesterday! I'll write about that on tomorrow's blog.

Have a great Sunday, everyone!
