Today was my birthday and a very nice day it was. I spent it doing things I loved.
- I drank coffee.
- I hung out in a used bookstore where I found a stack of novels to keep myself entertained for a few weeks.
- I treated myself to lunch.
- I browsed around some clothing shops which were stocked with interesting but poorly made garments. I kept saying to myself…I could do better! So, no new clothes for me today.
- I read a gem of a book called Beginner’s Greek. It’s been compared to an Austen novel–lots of books have, but this one genuinely deserves it. It’s beautifully written, humorous and insightful.
- I sewed a few pieces on my polka dotted dress and contemplated making a scrap quilt.
- I watched my son practice tae-kwon-do. He did so well today that he received an invitation to test for his orange belt. I enjoyed watching him dance around with excitement.
- I teased my husband and he teased me back.
- I kissed my daughter on her strawberry-scented head.
- And while I love to cook most days, I didn’t feel like it today, so I didn’t. I picked up some yakisoba from the local takeout joint and bought a scrumptious chocolate mousse cake from a nearby bakery. For me, there is no better end to a day than eating chocolate.
Happy birthday Amy, and many happy returns of the day.
Sounds like you had a great day. Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, Amy!!
