I'LL TAKE BIRTHDAYS FOR $500, ALEX


I'm pretty sure that today was a perfect day. It started bright and early with a special delivery of my newspaper, some bagels with cream cheese, and a few lovely scones. All were waiting for me just in time for a damn good cup of coffee. Aunt Chrissy always delivers my newspaper to my inside garage door for me, but today she delivered breakfast also! (I believe that she picks up the paper for me in the morning because my neighbors pay her to do so. You can only see me in my robe and red duck boots so many times before you need to take action, people.)

At noon, Aunt Chrissy and I had massages. I have been getting them frequently to scare away the migraines, so it was nice to have one on a Tuesday....just because.

We had sandwiches at Dagwood's and then went to Barnes & Noble to check out their new store at the mall. Holey Schmoley. Methinks there might be a few lost afternoons headed my way. I picked up some good reads and had a Frappucino thingie with caramel in it. Finally, it was dinner at one of my favorite restaurants followed by a nice piece of cake. (I've decided that we all need to eat more cake. Don't you think the world would be a much better place if we all just had some cake? Please....go ahead. I'll wait. Go get yourself some cake.)
(All you can think about now is cake, can't you?)

I have to say that Aunt Chrissy, Bosco, and Stewey really spoiled me this year with the gifts. I'm pretty certain that I didn't deserve any of them, but I sure am glad they went shopping! (I just hope Stewey didn't blow his entire allowance this time. He has a habit of doing just that).

On the stitchy front, I have finished the inside of BD's "Easter Parade". On to the border! I'm thinking that I might work on it tonight while watching "Gone With The Wind" )I've never seen it, so I suppose now is as good a time as any.
I'm off to the Happy Chair! Woo Hoo!

  3. Happy Birthday Coni! Sounds like it was a fantastic day. And I love cake...and I never need a special occasion to indulge. But now I wish there was cake in the house. I suppose chocolate will have to do! :)

  22. It sounds like your birthday was just as enjoyable as my own! Yup, we share a birthday. Possibly down to the year ;)

    I was born in Indiana, too, though now I live in Arizona.

  25. Coni!

    A belated Happy Birthday to you. I do so enjoy your blog and Master Stewey's various witticisms! ( Don't tell him tho' or he'll get a swollen head!) Just wanted to send you my best...and also ask if the teapot shown in the photo was a gift? Any details,background, etc as to where I might find one similar? Thanks for sharing the details, if you can. Congrats and hope you continue to have many happy returns on your day!
