REDNESDAY

Hi everyone! Hope you've had a good week. It seems all the college students are home for the summer and, for me, only two weeks of school left!



Yesterday (Tuesday) was my Becky's 15th birthday. Her grandmother took all the kids to McDonald's after school.

One of the girls in the Special Ed. class brought in Red Velvet cupcakes - that was a nice surprise for Becky!

Guess that's all for this week!

MY DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY

This is Becky - she's 14 today!

This is Erica - her cousin.

They had a sleepover last night.
After church we're going to Friendly's Restaurant for lunch.
Then to WalMart to get Becky a new Nintendo DS
for her present.
Then a stop at the store to buy an ice cream cake.

It's gonna be a fun day!

PRE-TEEN'S PARTY

Two posts in one day? Sure, why not!

I'm sad, very sad indeed. Pre-Teen is no more. She done went and had a birthday on me yesterday. Now she's 13! What should I call her now? How's this sound?

Nah, not quite right. Hmmmm. Teen is 17-1/2, so she'll stay Teen. I don't know . . . I suppose I could call her by her real name - Becky!

Being all Aspy and everything (Asperger's Syndrome), she didn't want anything for gifts; and didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. So she just had her cousin sleep over, then I took them to Friendly's Family Restaurant for lunch. She and Teen watched The Princess and the Frog last night (I was very disappointed in that movie), and I made a cake.


Oh, and we had a special visitor ~

The Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter) action figure, from our family's "Around the House with Steve Irwin" escapades!

I'M ONE-YEAR-OLD TODAY!

Oh, my gosh! Today is my one-year Blog Birthday! This is my 252nd post and I have 135 very special followers! WOW! Go HERE to see my first post.

What should I do today? Throw a party? Buy myself gifts? Nah, I'll just watch the New England Patriots play their last regular season game and, hopefully, win!

Thank you, all, for making this a very memorable year in Blog Land! May there be many more to come!

FRIDAY THE 13TH!

Is it a good day . . . or a bad day?

Well, I, for one, can say that this year it's a good day. Why? Because it's my birthday! Woo, hoo!

I was born on a Sunday - you know the poem: "the child that is born on the Sabbath day Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay." But my siblings would always tell me that I was born on Friday the 13th!

I'm ***cough!***54***cough!*** this year! And not ashamed of it!

Who remembers this show? "Queen for a day, who will it be?" Host Jack Bailey.

I was considering something like this to celebrate with:

but my M-I-L brought me these last night! Yum!

A few days ago I said to Mister "About my birthday . . . ", and he gruffly cut in with "Get whatever you want!". You see, he hates buying gifts, for anyone. Which doesn't bother me in the least - I'd rather get my own and be happy with it! So I told him I'm going to Michael's craft store - he has no idea what he's in for, hee, hee!
