The Birthday

Despite the fact that I didn't get to spend my birthday for free with the mouse - it was a really good day. Unfortunately there was little documentation taken of the day and the above picture is the most flattering one we have on file (we're really striking out over here).

There wasn't any one thing that stands out. Except for the part of my day where my loyal friend met me at the swim park (with her three kids) for our summer Friday ritual (despite the fact it wasn't even close to swimming weather) with a yummy gourmet sandwich and cookies. I am very grateful for her dedication to my 27th-year-in-life cause. (Did I mention it was also her anniversary?) My birthday was also filled with many birthday salutations - so thank you to all for making me feel special!

I ate a ton this weekend! Which you would think would warrant enough reason to stop eating but no... Why stop doing something when you're good at it? My stomach is going to have a rude awakening tomorrow when I'm not stuffing it full at every available minute. Sorry stomach...

Stay tuned for a later post on my recent obsession of Julia Child. I saw the new movie that highlighted part of her life and I really enjoyed it. (I think the other story about the Julie chick wasn't as exciting...) I am currently reading a book about Julia Child (a birthday gift) and am in love with her! She has such a cheerful persona - a very admirable trait! Did I mention she was in love with food? I think we might've been friends in heaven...

A whole day gone by since your post and nary a comment? What is wrong with your faithful followers?


Thought of you often on Friday--and the night beofre which I always think is really your birthday because I went to the hospital on the 13th only to be sent home, and when we got back it was just before the witching hour--but they made me wait for the doctor to come. So, you were born on the 14th, and it is hard for me to remember that.

You ask, how did I feel since my youngest was turning 27? Not as bad as I am going to feel in October and my oldest turns 40! There is something VERY depressing about that!

Love, Momma

Happy Birthday Brittany! Sorry I missed the get together at the bonfire. The fam had a great time. I hope all your wildest dreams come true!

Hey chica! Hope your day was wonderful! I'm super interested in which Julia Child book you got and are reading. Tell All!! I want to see the movie, but I'm going to have to go it alone since H. won't see it with me....he wants to, but he won't see "certain" movies.

Anyway, as for your oldest brother turning 40 very, very soon....I'm excited, I think we finally have a plan! Yay!

Sounds like a bueno birthday even though it didn't involve Chipotle. Yes, food is good. Perhaps too good (the clothes in my closet can confirm that). And Jeanna I will go see Julie and Julia with you. How can a movie about food be bad? And I can't wait to hear about H's B-day plans!

Belated birthday wishes to. Spencer's in Portland right now, I wish I were with him. You should move here. I need a friend.
