The Sewing Mom

My evening ended just as my day began, with a nice surprise. This time it was a lovely German chocolate cake that my husband picked up on his way home from work. German chocolate is my very favorite, so I was quite happy and stuffed once I ate a big piece of it!

Yes, it’s once again that one day of the year that causes me to shudder and want to hide. It’s my birthday. I don’t care to celebrate, I really would be happy to just hide out and get through the day unnoticed, but there is no denying that I am now another year older. So today, I am tackling my birthday head on.

I slept in about 20 minutes in honor of my birthday. I then got up & got showered and dressed and when I came out into the kitchen to make my coffee, this is what I found. I have to tell you, this was the BEST way to start my day, the day I usually try to avoid. It put a huge smile on my face!

I want to thank my husband for being so sweet for doing this. It may seem like a small gesture to many, but this is exactly what I needed to get my day going on a positive note! Thanks also to my sister Karen who just called me and sang a beautiful rendition of the birthday song to me! Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to my husband!

I had planned a special get away for him to Austin, but, with everything that went on last week, he had to take time off from work to attend his brother-in-law’s funeral in Atlanta, he didn’t feel comfortable taking this week off too.  I can’t say that I blame him.

No matter, I hope he has a special day anyway.  My daughter and I are heading out to pick up a few things for him.  I also need to wrap his gift which I purchased while I was on vacation.  We also have to decide what cake to do for him.  His favorite is yellow cake with chocolate frosting, so we may just spend the afternoon doing some baking.

Tonight, he has decided that he would like us to take him to Dave & Buster’s, so that’s what we’re going to do.

That’s right, this blog has just celebrated its first birthday! Of course, it’s been so busy around here, I completely missed it, so this is actually a belated Happy Birthday! I created my very first measly post on July 3 of last year. I feel that I’ve come a long way since then.

My sister Karen is celebrating her birthday today! If you’d like to find out how old she is, you’ll have to go visit her and please leave her a comment while you’re there. You see, if she receives the same number of comments as her age, something good will happen!

I hope she’s having a great time on her birthday while visiting her daughter in Florida. That’s a great way to spend the day, much better than being in freezing cold Indiana!
