It’s my mom’s birthday. I have to look up the date of the year and do the math to figure out how old she is, but I have to do that with everyone in the family now. The only one I know exactly how old they are is my brother, who is exactly 10 years younger than me.
I sent mom a Hallmark card and a gift card to a nice restaurant, so hopefully she will have a nice meal without having to cook. She was planning a nice quiet day at home, hope she enjoys her special day.
I had no idea that there was a Cyber Week, good thing I check my Facebook at least once a day or I would miss out on all kinds of goodies like this. I also just found out that my uncle is in the hospital and my nephew has been diagnosed with COPD and sleep apnea and my sister is taking belly dance lessons. You just gotta love Facebook and all of the information that you can get quickly and pass on as well.
Another year gone by already. Wow – hard to believe.
This year my birthday was on a Sunday and I could take the entire day to relax and just putter around the house. Read the Sunday paper in the recliner and hubby brought me a fresh cup of coffee. That was a nice start to the day!
We went out to dinner at the Cracker Barrel. We could have gone to a fancier place, but I like the food at Cracker Barrel and they know us there, so we never have to wait long for a table. It was nice to have a home cooked tasting meal without me having to do the cooking and the clean up!
My son brought over a stack of new CDs for me. The best of the bunch is the new Eagle’s collection. I listened to a few of the songs this evening and really like the traditional Eagles sound. It was sweet of him to pick out the music for me – he knows how picky I am about music – I can’t hardly stand to listen to the radio anymore. Just some sports talk stations when I’m out driving in the afternoons.
Thanks to everyone who sent me cards and emails – they were really nice. I loved the Hoops and YoYo card from my little sister. That Hoops and YoYo cracks me up! If you aren’t up on Hoops and YoYo, cruise by the Hallmark website and see their free e-cards, their way cool stuff you can buy, and their blog at Hallmark.com.
The center pieces that I ordered from http://www.proplants.com/ were a bit hit at yesterday’s Christmas dinner. My mother is a very difficult person to please, she seems to always find something to find fault with each and every time I host an event at my house. Last year she was very unhappy with the decorative turkeys that I used for centerpieces at Thanksgiving, she didn’t like the fact that she had to look at a turkey butt during the whole meal! This year she was most pleased with my selection from ProPlants.
