Lol, you know I had a great cake. It was a molded chocolate one with chocolate pudding and strawberry sauce and iced with that hard chocolate shells and topped with chocolate covered strawberries and hubby got me my favorite cut flowers 2 big bouquets of alstromeria. I had gotten some in one of my first trades but they came up. I love those. I fell asleep after fishing and they had to wake me up at 9pm to eat my cake, lol. I was whooped bad I guess. Not used to all this running around. Thank you all for the nice birthday wishes.

Maybe you would get more players if you made it so we only have to send 1 package.

I see Jessy beat me to the 'puter this morning, obviously neither of us were getting much sleep! I'm finally feeling much better, the sinus infections just hung on until the doc mixed my antibiotic with prednisone. I can finally breathe normally, but it shot my sleep pattern to he!! Work is crazy right now, ramping up to a big fundraiser. I have lots of talented parents right now, but I still need to be everywhere and oversee everyone! Invitations hit the mail yesterday, so that chore is over, but the auction catalogue, prizes, tribute journal, honoree speeches, decor etc are looming. Plus the boss is taking off for almost 3 weeks before! She's incredibly helpful,so that isn't great timing! DSIL is off to Chicago yesterday for what looks like a longish job. That means DD and DGS's will follow soon. At least this time the film is in this country! DGS Mason was one yesterday! i missed being with him due to work and the late demands of the job. Sunday DD is going ahead with the plans for a little afternoon party for the family and a couple of close friends. That shoudl be fine. Both boys have had sinus infections too...gee wonder who gave it to me? LOL Dinner tonight? I have no idea! Last night was steak, grilled asparagus and some other assorted veggies. I munched all day with our volunteer parents so I really shouldn't have eaten at all, but I think DH would disagree! Anyway, at this hour I'll just clink with my synthroid pill and water. Not very exciting, eh? Good weekend to all!

Hey Linda, Happy, Happy B'day and beyond. I know the feeling of going into one of those great stores. I always think I'll want something there but end up realizing that I am at the stage in life where I really have mostly everything I need and only rarely find something that won't just duplicate what's already in my kitchen. I do like to replace wooden spoons, kitchen towels and the like though. And I just got a cover for using in the microwave that flattens out for easy storage. There are colanders that do the same and I'm considering replacing my old ones with a few of those.
