So here I sit with my bagel, cream cheese and water held in my Slytherin cup (I need to get up and get more, by the way).
Interesting that three of my favorite people celebrate their birthdays this week. My adorable Hunter turned 8 on Sunday. This is the first year I have not been with him on his birthday (last year they were in Hawaii, too, but I vacationed around his birthday). It almost killed me not being with him. But he had a special birthday campout in their back yard with three friends, his brother and his father even camped out, too. His dad bought him a fishing pole and a tackle box! I cried with joy to hear about the fun but cried at not being there, too! Oh, Lord when will my time come to live close to them again!!!??
Next was Erin’s birthday lunch on Monday. I took over cupcakes and party favors on my lunch break. The kids were thrilled with the bouncing balls and Erin was thrilled with the cupcakes cause her oven wasn’t working so they weren’t going to be able to bake a cake. And I got to tell her and Lisa a little about my newest crush…
Today is Jen’s birthday! Should be fun with sushi, drinks, little pigs, and Prince!
This weekend I’m off to Arizona to be with my nieces and sister, Sheila. We get to mansion–sit this cool 5 bedroom house that Sheila’s boss built. I’m so excited to finally see Holes with my nieces, especially since last Thanksgiving Chelsea read the entire book to me (minus the first couple of chapters that she had already read on her own). I’m really praying for some special bonding time with the girls on this trip; especially Chelsea, who has had a really rough year. Oh, Lord, You know how much I love my family – bless and keep them always!
Oh, yes, when I get back my mum will have surgery on her knee due to dancing at the Passover meal! I’m serious!!! It is funny but the recovery will not be funny! Lord, help and heal my dear mum, please!
Emily sent me the cutest pictures from their trip here this last February. One picture is of Hunter and I in the bathroom getting ready for Knott’s Berry Farm. His three colored Mohawk in full beauty and he’s blow-drying my hair for me! IT’S THE CUTEST EVER!!!
Yup, I’ve got a crush but refuse to spill my guts here until something official happens. I’ll be sure to keep my blog posted…
Got to get working…
Listening to Dar Williams – Fishing in the Morning
Which reminds me! I had the coolest time on Saturday night. Shannon, Matt and I went to the John Ford Hanson Theater in Hollywood to see Dar Williams. It was such a great concert – out doors, stars above, beautiful music, and great seats! It was such a special treat from the Lord! I really want to spend more nights in life like that! Thank you Lord for Your beauty all around me!!!!!
