When you get to be my age…

…you are blessed to celebrate birthdays as opposed to just one day! :)  At least that’s what I have my family trained to believe! 😉

So, even though I don’t get older until tomorrow, last night there was a card and package at my desk. My Hubs got me some dark chocolate, a new 4 gb mp3 player and a nice card.

This morning I left bright and early to pick up Ashley & Trina to head out for our First Saturday in Winters, CA.  We had coffee and breakfast at our favorite coffee shop – Ashley bought me breakfast!  And, Trina gave me a handmade quilter’s pocketbook.  It is purple and green and holds a small cutting mat.  There are slots for scissors and other tools.  I love it!!

After our quilting time at Cloth Carousel, we realized that Trina didn’t have to work as early as I had thought (seems I might be the only morning person in our trio!) so we headed to a thrift store in Davis.  I love thrift stores, but this one wasn’t as thrifty as I’d like.  However, that didn’t keep me from making a purchase – or three!  I found a GREAT BIG black bag and 2 CDs.  Ashley found a beautiful shirt for work and Trina found some components for a family wedding in September.

When I arrived back home, the kids and Daddy had done their chores and decorated the house!  Nice!  Tomorrow I think we are going to have a quiet day at home (aka chance for Mommy to rest up and knit a bit!) and I’ve requested burritos from our local Tacqueria and a cheesecake from the local bakery! Yummy!

But that is tomorrow!  Today the kids are going to go shopping with Daddy – bless him – and I’m hoping to get a nap!

Thank you all for your encouragement earlier this week.  I’m so relieved that it’s not just me feeling like this.  I also took your advice and figured out what I want (cheesecake!) and will make it happen one way or another!  🙂
