A week of birthdays...


It's been a busy month of birthdays! Seems January is becoming more like September. In our circle of family and friends September is jammed packed with birthdays - especially in the family! It's always a fun-filled month because it seems we spend alot of time with our family making it extra special. Yes, it seems this month is just as busy and that's a good thing. However, I have a small dilema - my sweetheart's birthday is tomorrow, the 27th and I still don't know what to get him!! I had written myself a note with one idea on a post-it at work and had it on my desk at work yesterday. I was going to do the "43 Things I love about you" thing made into a card and framed. (OOPS! Don't tell him I told his age--he still thinks he's going to be 29 again! Ha!) Well, my dear came to the hospital yesterday to have lunch with me and saw the note on my desk and we had a good laugh. We had a great time having lunch but now my one idea is gone. I decorated his truck at his job for one birthday and he loved that and then one year I covered the ENTIRE inside of his truck with hearts with mushy sayings while he was at work and he was so shocked when he got off and had some buddies walking out with him! It was so funny!! Actually I think Erika and I did that twice - once for Valentines Day. Any other ideas????? I'm about out of time and wanted to find just the right thing...

Just a thought: My husband loves it when I do special things for him. Sure, he likes gifts, but he really loves it when I prepare a special meal OR treat him to one at a restaurant of his choice and then take him to a movie. Plus, I make sure that there's a cake in there somewhere. I always get him a gift of some sort too, and lately I've been coming right out and asking him to give me a wish list. Guess what he got for his last birthday? Some drill bits! He was super excited.

Hey Valencia,
I put together a basket of candy bars and treats i.e. 100 Grand Bar
Hug & Kisses etc. I made a card with cheesy sayings for the candy and Carl absolutely loved it!

Cool ideas!!! Thank ya'll! I ended up taking him out to dinner at Olive Garden (his favorite) and we were going to see a movie (Bucket List) but time didn't allow. We went shopping instead and just browsing - mainly trying to walk off dinner. It was a good night.

To whomever left the negative comments yesterday, I've deleted them and would appreciate you not leaving anymore. Thank you. If you can't say something nice-don't say anything at all. Have a better day tomorrow and smile - - it's more fun than being ugly towards others.
