What did she do on...A SUPER DUPER BIRTHDAY???

This past birthday certainly started out like no other...It felt like there was a ticker/confetti parade going on when I logged on in the early hours of my birthday and saw all those wonderful Happy Birthdays from so many wonderful people!! Of course I cried and smiled and oohed and aahed....

The day before my birthday a sweet and thoughtful friend sent me some beautiful flowers (I still need to download my pictures) and then later on my step/heart daughter Kelly gave me some flowers and a miniature rose plant (hopefully one that Oliver won't eat this time).....
After looking at my blog I got the most wonderful call on my cell phone singing Happy Birthday to me....

I did NOT go for any thrills like these and more power to people who can...

After having gone out with Michael for breakfast, I found a beautiful message with a sung Happy Birthday again from a dear friend...

Here's where Michael and I went for my birthday breakfast and a buy one get one free deal too!...

After a little shopping (very little as it was pouring, but I like the rain), we decided it was siesta time, so we took a little snooze...just wish Michael's head was a little lighter (guess there's too many brains in there?)...

Later on we finished the cake I made the day before...I even requested that we have me make the cake as so often we don't eat all of the other bought cakes or they end up less than good. But not to worry, Michael did ALOT of helping with the cake...it was home made orange sponge cake with real whipped cream (even in the center after I cut it in half) and sweetened orange zest on top....mmm, yummy. Crazy Kelly said that if there is any left she'd take some to work on Monday...there was none left on SATURDAY!!

Uh oh...nope, we didn't take a second nap, but this does look like me throwing an arm over Michael...

For dinner we went to the only place that I eat steak (remember I am a HUGE chicken fan) and my dinner looked pretty much like this, only I chose the tasty salad instead of the green beans (plus lots of butter on my potato)...

This is the name of my 'steak restaurant' and it was the 7 oz. Victoria fillet...mmm, mmm yummy...

Here's another thing we did NOT do, although Jackie from Teacher's Pet would just LOVE this...actually, just looking at this would probably freak Michael as he has a fear of heights...hmmm...this could actually CAUSE that fear in someone....

Now here's my idea of getting a thrill...not really as I do some silly stuff (like the time I made Michael bob for apples in the bath tub) but it doesn't usually involve possible loss of limbs...

Now, poor Wanda was lamenting that no one took her award that she offered, so here it is but I captured it too little and it won't enlarge well, but I AM keeping it with my other valuables, Wanda and thank you for sharing it !!.....

This is yet another thrill I won't be trying...sure hope the brakes are good on that ride...

Reading about thrills is safer for your health and/or body unless the reading causes high blood pressure....

While I am not afraid of snakes, I don't 'long' for their company and this guy doesn't look like an evening of fun, except maybe for Jackie and then of course Wanda (who is really Snow White in disguise)...

Think I have thrilled everyone (esp. Diana who wanted to know about my BIG day) MORE THAN YOU WERE READY TO BE THRILLED, so calm down and take an elephant tranquilizer and all will be well!

Now, would I forget to give you the 'thrill' of some chuckles??? Hopefully never...

A man asked his wife, "What would you most like for your birthday?" She said, "I'd love to be ten again." On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and they went to a theme park. He put her on every ride in the park - the Death Slide, The Screaming Loop, the Wall of Fear. She had a go on every ride there was. She staggered out of the theme park five hours later, her head reeling and her stomach turning. Then off to a movie theater, popcorn, cola and sweets. At last she staggered home with her husband and collapsed into bed. Her husband leaned over and asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being ten again?" One eye opened and she groaned, "Actually, honey, I meant dress size!"

Fred: I was going to buy you a handkerchief for your birthday. Harry: That was a kind thought. But why didn't you?

Fred: I couldn't find one big enough for your nose.
***********
Fred: Do you like the dictionary I bought you for your birthday?

Harry: Sure. It's a great present but I just can't find the words to thank you enough.

Cat: "What did you get him for his birthday?"

Dog: "Pant . . . pant!"

Cat: "Great . . . he needs a pair of pants!"

A lady is throwing a party for her granddaughter, and had gone all out..... a caterer, band, and a hired clown. Just before the party started, two bums showed up looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for the bums, the woman told them that she would give them a meal if they will help nail some loose boards back in place on her deck. Gratefully, they headed to the rear of the house.

The guests arrived, and all was going well with the children having a wonderful time. But the clown hadn't shown up. After a half and hour, the clown finally called to report that he was stuck in traffic, and would probably not make the party at all.

The woman was very disappointed and unsuccessfully tried to entertain the children herself. She happened to look out the window and saw one of the bums doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watched in awe as he swung from tree branches, did mid-air flips, and leaped high in the air.

She spoke to the other bum and said, "What your friend is doing is absolutely marvelous. I have never seen such a thing. Do you think your friend would consider repeating this performance for the children at the party? I would pay him $50!"

The other bum says, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him. 'HEY WILLIE! FOR $50, WOULD YOU HAMMER ANOTHER TOE?"

~~~~Heavenly Father, thank you for the blessings of thoughtfulness all around us...may we look for and enjoy each and every small act of thoughtfulness.
