My birthday on Sunday was exactly what I needed. It had been a long, bustling week ending with two days at Good Juju for our First Friday sale. And while I love those days at the antique mall, chatting with guests and laughing with friends, I sure wake up tired on the Sundays after them.
I was extra tired this week. Waking up to streamers, a balloon, and flowers almost made me cry. When I’m worn out, I tend to get extra emotional, and I’d had a string of not so wonderful birthdays in the last few years. I was touched to see the effort Sugarwings and my husband went to.
He even mowed a message into the field for me! Cute, huh?
I needed to run to the store, so while I was out I played “Birthday Trick or Treat” and picked up my celebratory freebies around town from different loyalty programs. These are from Kohls, Ulta, and Bath and Body Works. There is also a popcorn due from the movie theater.
The best goodie was a mini red velvet cake from Everything Bundt Cakes. We sliced it up to go with our tea party luncheon in front of the tv. Sugarwings indulged me and we watched a nostalgic show from the 80s- Lost Boys. I hadn’t seen it in decades, but when Ryan was younger, it was on repeat around here.
Rewatching a show from years back is a tricky thing. I never quite remember them exactly, so can be surprised by outdated tropes or unpleasantries that do not hold up in today’s world. But we were lucky with this one, the only thing outdated about it were the mild horror scenes, it was light gore. And that was even better.
We watched Footloose a couple weeks ago, and it too “held up”. The teen even enjoyed both.
Sugarwings set the table very pretty for me, that is a very thoughtful person. As well as a good cook, the kiddo made dinner too!
We had planned walking tacos, and taking them with us on a walk. But the weather was chilly, so we filled our chip bags with all the fixins and walked around inside the house. It was an indoor birthday parade. Silly and fun. The tacos were good too.
The whole day was. I got a call from my son, a friend and the Guncles, lots of kind messages on Facebook and text. Thank you, family and sweet friends!
Happy birthday and Happy Mother's Day my dear friend !! Hope to see you this year for a get together, we so need it. Love, Debbie
