Well in about 6 minutes, my hubby will have a big 5-0 birthday!! He does not like birthdays, and this one is probably even worst because it marks a 1/2 century. Even though he is against any of my wonderful birthday celebration ideas, I put together a small dinner party to pre-celebrate his day tomorrow with some close friends.
There is always prep work to be done for such a special occasion: house cleaning, shopping for food & drink, and the gift, cooking the meal, getting the cake, and dressing the part! I was even able to fit in an hour to have a nap before the big shin-dig! I pulled out a bottle of wine to get the party started... and the girls enjoyed it very much! LOL!
So, even though he was being a party-pooper this morning when I announced we were having dinner guests for his birthday - it turned out very nice!! I think he really enjoyed his day today. On his real birthday, he can also enjoy his day again! And eat leftover cake... It was even nice enough for him to go out for a motorcycle ride which usually helps to mellow him out a bit.
He got his gift early because last weekend was so rainy and cold here that he couldn't do anything much, so he was watching a comedy channel marathon of " The Big Bang Theory." I thought he should be watching the real DVDs which he really wanted. I ordered it from Amazon, knowing we would have our own marathon once he got the DVDs to watch. I couldn't hold out any longer - so I surprised him with it a week early! He really liked it, and we have been watching episode after episode all week, and again tonight! :) That's when I know I chose a great birthday gift to satisfy and enjoy!
He enjoyed the meal, the company, and his gifts! Let's hope the next 50 years go by as wonderful! Happy Birthday Hunny Bunny! All the best for another 1/2 century to come...
Love

Canadian Thanksgiving
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!! Canadians at home and away get a chance to celebrate this weekend! I enjoyed a wonderful day with my family yesterday with all the thanksgiving trimmings!! I love a hot turkey supper with fresh garden vegetables, and pumpkin pie with whip cream!!! One of my favourite meals!! I always overeat because who can say no to all the treats of the day! Soooo gooood...mmmm.... that I will live for today and only today!! :)
Many people make a list for what and why they are thankful. I have a list too! I try to be thankful of my blessings (good or bad) every day of my life. However, there are times when I just don't feel as thankful as while enjoying a great turkey meal with my family!
I am thankful that I live in a free society. I am thankful for having a wonderful family to share the good and bad times with, and they are always there to support and guide me. I am thankful to have job in today's economy (but I also believe that the other half of that equation gets the good deal too), so that I can buy the things I require to live healthy and happily. I am thankful for the friends I have made and have known in my life. I am thankful for being a kitty mommy for 18 years (I still miss my Misty!).
I am thankful for little things mostly! Like hugs! Yesterday was a great for hugs! Showing my love and appreciation to my family!! My other favouite "I love you" gesture is to tug gently on my loved one's ear lobe. It's mostly for my niece and nephews. I hope that I am a good aunt, because I want them to have the best they can out of life. I like to encourage their interests, and listen to them explain how things are going. I also am a bad influence too! They probably learned to swear from me, and they also learned how to sing the song, Long Line of Losers (Montgomery Gentry). I want them to have the same respect for their ancestors that I have acquired throughout the years! Good or bad, we get it all from them! That's something to be thankful for! :P
So on this fine Thanksgiving weekend, we have great weather, great food, great company, and great times!!! I hope that you have a chance to create some thanksgiving memories too!
