My Day
What a lovely lazy birthday I had. Woke up late (6:45 a.m.) without the dreaded alarm clock making that racket. Stayed in my PJ's surfing the 'net till I realized I was hungry. Made a fabulous weekend type breakfast with bacon and scrambled eggs of asparagus, cream cheese and onions. Then toast with berry jam on it. Yum!
When I finally got out of the jammies and into cloths, I had to put on my favorite hat. I'd been looking for a cowboy hat for several years only to find it when I had finally given up. Was out window shopping in Santa Barbara with my walking partner (It was my first 3 Day Walk for Breast Cancer) when I stumbled upon this store and there was my hat finally.
After grabbing my hat I then decided to put on one of my silliest tee shirts I got. It makes me giggle every time I see it.
Then off to the lawn of clover. Stayed outside for hours just listening to the bees, birds and the occasional airplane flying over.
Had a wonderful time just pondering, thinking and reading. Oh got so carried away I even painted my toenails. And well, since I couldn't make up my mind between two colors, I had to paint my fingernails the other color.
Course I had my faithful sidekick with me at all times. 
was sitting in the chair and looked over to the left side of my chair and this is what I spotted.
The Man came home with two beautiful and huge blooming Hibiscus plants and sweeped me off to a lovely dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. It's got the best patio dining with so much green from all the trees and plants.
All an all, it was the perfect day. I got several phone calls, a few text messages, and so many e-mails. Thank you!
Now that I am at a certain age I can pass along some wisdom.
- Take the time to really know yourself, for you are the only one that can make you happy.
- As much as possible, take the time to appreciate what you have. It gives depth to your happiness.
Happy birthday, foxy babe!
