I have had a magnificent birthday! It goes without saying how special y'all made me feel - thank you! A friend took me out for a late and long lunch - she didn't know it was my birthday and I didn't tell her - but we had a 2 hour Mexican lunch. The Ogre picked up Chinese take out and somehow arranged for all the kids to be there for dinner which is a rarity. The cake was stupid though. It was a very bad strawberry shortcake. So I'm going to get myself some Muddy's cupcakes tomorrow. I got a terrarium from our oldest - it has a little gnome in it - I named him Bellis in honor of the fornit from Flexible Bullet - we had some fun looking up the name of the other fornit - do you remember
.
I got a Timex from the Ogre - I hate having to fish my phone out to find the time - so now I have a sassy watch - it lights up in the dark if you press a button - very retro. Ben got me chocolate covered strawberries - yum. Elly got me a very pretty rose gold hummingbird necklace. All very thoughtful. Everyone has their own jobs, their own money. They grew up so fast. I'm blessed. I have a very nice bottle of sipping vodka. I think I'm on my 3rd drink. But I'm 50 today, I can handle it.
We got a visit from MadamMack !! It was a good day.
Oh - it's storming here!! Thanks be to God because it was 107 degrees here today. Horrendous heat. I saw a katydid and a praying mantis. All the guinea pigs let me cuddle them this morning. It was magical day.
My birthday also happens to be Left Handers days - which is appropriate, because I'm left handed.
Probably more than you ever wanted to know about my day, but that's how important you all are to me. I wish I could be around more. Most evenings I have to cook, go to the gym, blahdy blah.
it's Rackne
