Well, here I am, falling behind on blogging again! I have lots of things to share, but I can’t seem to sit at the computer and get them translated into any kind of “meaningful” blog post, hahaha! Most recently would be my birthday, but shhhhh, we don’t have to talk about just how old I really am! 😀
I had a nice birthday this year, although very low-key. Tim took me out to eat (dinner at Chili’s, lunch at Zaxby’s), and let me pick out whatever I wanted for my birthday. He wanted to buy me a camera (and I just might “let” him get it for me soon), but I didn’t think I needed another camera. I have a wonderful digital Rebel that he got me a couple of years ago for my birthday, but it is heavy and sometimes cumbersome to lug around. He wanted to get me just a small point and shoot to keep in my purse, and after thinking about it and “chewing” on it for a while, I think I might ask for it as a belated gift, after all 🙂
While we were out shopping the day before my birthday, he asked what I wanted and I said, well, if I see something I like, let’s just get that. So, that’s what we did! I got a book I wanted (the new Nicholas Sparks, “The Last Song”), and a warm fuzzy blanket to wrap up in now that it’s feeling more like fall around here. I also got this:
It’s not a Le Crueset, although I had mentioned to him a while back that one day I’d like to splurge and get a red one. He said, I’ll get you that if you want, but I just don’t see paying 250 bucks for one of those. And he’s right. And I’m sure this one will be great, and I can replace it several times over if it doesn’t hold up like the name brand one. This one came from Sam’s, and we usually have really good luck with the things we buy in there!
Also, on the day of my birthday, he sneaked off to Fresh Market and got these for me:
My birthday was on a Sunday this year, and our beloved Saints were playing a big game against the Giants. I kidded Tim all week that I was going to tweet Drew Brees and ask him to be sure and win on Sunday, since it was my birthday, LOL! I didn’t but they did pull out a win, going 5-0 for the first time since 1993. For this converted Saints fan, that was a pretty nice gift too!
Back soon (hopefully), with another post. Hope everyone is having a great day, and week 🙂
Glad you had a great birthday. Those roses are beautiful. Speaking of your Saints, you should come read my blog; yesterday’s post is relevant. *grin*
Sorry, I mean TODAY’S post. Ugh..I’m tired.
Your birthday sounds like a perfect day to me. I love the red dutch oven. You’ll have to let us know what kinds of recipes you use it for. As I scrolled down and saw the flowers I went, ooh, pretty! And then I scrolled down and saw the CAKE and went AAAAH, YUM! Look delish!
It sounds like you had a fabulous birthday & that makes me happy. =)
Oooh I love red in the kitchen! I hear you about just going shopping and seeing if anything strikes you. Looks like you had a good birthday – love the cake and flowers. And that’s just the best about the Saints winning! Even though I’m a Steeler fan through and through, I always appreciate good play and like to see other teams go for it like the Saints are!
Wow, those flowers are so pretty! Love your red pot too. Who cares about the name. I’d never spend that much on a cooking item. That cake looks devine too! Glad you got your Saints win on your day!
Sounds like a wonderful birthday! I just picked up the new Nicholas Sparks book at the library, and I plan to start it as soon as I finish the third Harry Potter book. I know what you mean about the camera. I love my Rebel, but it would be nice to have something to throw in my purse. My Best Girl just got a real camera for her birthday, so maybe I’ll borrow hers (She’s only five, but she wanted a REAL camera. I bought her a refurbished one so it was much cheaper. I know it may end up broken, but she’s having a ball with it now!).
