And the birthday continues...

Good grief I've eaten too much today! LOL! Kevin took me to Mongolian Grill for lunch, then we went to my youngest Jamie's house for a "group" birthday bash for all her children (Ethan 5, Eli 3, and Alena 1). It was great. And of course we ate again! Then came the cakes... My daughter China made each one their own cake. Iron Man for Ethan, a monkey for Eli, and a lady bug for Lenie Mae. oh! And she surprised me with a lion cake! He was gorgeous! It was butter brickle cake and butter cream frosting. Unbelievable I know, but so are my kids!

Now we are chillin' and hangin' at kev's place and I am beat. So this is it for today. Will add pics as soon as I can!

Nite and love to all!

My Birthday!

You know your in love when your guy can take a day you would normally not look forward to and make it super special... I awoke this morning and Kyle wished me a happy birthday as soon as I walked into the living room... He is always the first! LOL! Amazes me. Then I walk into the kitchen and Kevin, my love, is starting to prepare a wonderful breakfast of scrambled eggs, fried potatoes with sauteed onions, and bacon baked in the oven ( a culinary masterpiece in itself!). We said our prayer before eating and Kevin added a wonder addition about myself, my birthday and their love for me and thanking God for my being in their lives...

After breakfast, they presented me with my awesome present! Toe Shoes! LOL! I will get a pic up as soon as I can, but they are fabulous. I never dreamed I would get them... Kevin knows me so well... Better than I know myself. Thank you Lord for making him for me. That is from a song I have sang since I was little and I never thought it would actually obtain to me. It's by Donna Fargo (my Dad had an 8 track of her greatest hits and I loved it as much as he did) and it's called "Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A."

Good morning, Morning! Hello Sunshine! Wake up sleepy head... Why'd we move that boggangled clock so far away from the bed? Just one more minute, that's why we moved it. One more hug or two... Do you love waking up next to me as much as I love waking up next to you?
You make the coffee, I'll make the bed. I'll fix your lunch and you fix mine. Now tell me the truth, do these old shoes look funny? Honey! It's almost nine! Now you becareful, gotta go, I love you! Have a beautiful day! And kiss the happiest girl in the whole USA!
Skippidy do da Thank You Lord, for making him for me! And thank you for letting life turn out the way that I always thought it could be! There once (or twice) was a time when I could not imagine how it would feel to say I'm the happiest girl in the whole USA!
Now shine on me Sunshine! Walk with me world it's a Skippidy Do Da day! I'm the happiest girl in the whole USA!


Yeah, it finally fits. Thanks God. You're the best!

Finally Friday!

Oh wow... what a day! I'm beat. But at least my feet are up, nice red wine is in my glass, and my sweetie is beside me.

I miss the Mac David Show. Anyone remember that one? Showing my age, I know, but I am glad I'm old enuf to remember him... He had a musical variety show that was good, but at the end? He walked around in the audience and would ask them to give him a subject or a sentence and BAM! Right there on the spot he would start singing a song! It amazed me. But I find myself doing it all the time! Well, I'm not talented enuf to come up with  the music, so I change the lyrics to songs I already know. Not unlike Weird Al, but I give credit where credit is due. Mac, thanks for a life time of enjoyment!

Lex finds it amusing but always calls me goofy. LOL! For example, If I have a job that has a bunch of boards involved (guess I should say I'm an electronic tech, huh?) and no apparent end in sight, I'll start singing
"This is the Job that never ends. It just goes on and on my friend! some people started building them not knowing what they'd do and we'll continue changing them forever just because... " Annoying as hell I know, but that's the purpose of it, right? lol. Bet you "sing" it long after your done reading this blog... Betcha!

I might as well get this out in the open now, cuz I know I'll be talking about them in the not too distant future... I AM A DIE HARD BENGALS FAN!!!  I love them. Say what you will about them, they are my boys. And let me add WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE T.O.!!! (Ocho sugar, you got competition for my favorite Bengal now... Sorry babe. Can't help myself...) I first really started loving them when I was a younger woman and worked at a place called the Village Ice Cream Parlor in Lebanon and they came in for a "make your own sundae" party. It was too cool. And let me tell ya, those boys could put away the ice cream! LMAO! I think the owner actually lost money on that one...

So tomorrow is my birthday. Another year older but thankfully much wiser. I love birthdays. They don't have to be mine, I just love a reason to make a cake and embarrass people (which is really a put on I feel) and make a big hoopla about their special day. It just feels kind of awkward when it's me cuz I do it so much for others. lol. When I worked 3rd shift, I went around and collected money and made a homemade cake or a fancy iced one or even taco dip if the B.D. person didn't like sweets, right Clay? ; ) It was so much fun doing it. I really miss it. But on 1st shift, there are just too many people. I've done it for a few of my closest friends, but I miss it.

Ok, Kev's getting impatient. Not really. i'm just saying that. But enough is enough and I'm out of thoughts for the day.

Have a peaceful night and TTYL!

Today. Or was it yesterday...

So here I go... 2 days before I turn 47 and I've started my 1st BLOG! This is exciting, yet not. Exciting because of the potential for 100's to read my thought's and ravings, and not because no one every will. LOL! 


I get these strange ideas and no one to blame them on but myself, so I take full credit. Yeah, that's right. Me. (inside joke) I forget half of what I say and don't care to remember the other half, so this should be great fun! I must ask for forgiveness in advance if I slip into "txt" mode, or for my made up words or sometimes offensive outbursts, but geez. I am human after all...


I almost called this BLOG "Why don't they?" You'll see why in blogs to come. Haha. See Lex? I can't even remember what I said to start this whole thing! It sucks being old. Oh! I remember one thing:


Why don't they make a remix of the old song "Pina Coladas"? You know, the one that is a singles add in the paper and asks "Do you like Pina Cloadas? Getting caught in the Rain? etc., etc.? Well, let's modernize it a bit and instead of after they meet and say "oh, it's you.", have them say 
"What? You cheatin' on me?!?" 
"No, you're cheating on me!" 
"Well YOU wrote the first add!" 
"YES! But you read it and REPLIED!"  
You know, something with a realistic twist... I'm thinking Eminem.


'Nuf for now! TTYL!


p.s.
Thanks Stevie for sending me my first blog address and opening my eyes to a whole new experience... Not unlike the day you told me to never settle. That day changed my life forever! Will see if this one does too! ;^)
