hee hee. it's 11:13 p.m. and the sugar buzz is finally wearing off. children are falling asleep in places they don't belong. they were tucked in bed hours ago but rudely awakened by my shrieks of terror when an enormous, gigantic, HUMONGOUS bug decided to drop in to wish me a happy birthday.
seriously...it's like all the bugs that were living in the beanstalk are now trying to find new living quarters. GOD, THIS ISN'T FUNNY.
anyhow, back to me. LOL. i had a GREAT birthday, all things considered! it's been a day filled with phone calls & emails from loved ones, a mailbox filled with goodies from family & friends, a great-big post-hurricane gift from my ebay friends (i love you guys), and i couldn't feel more loved.
instead of going out for dinner, i opted for a homecooked meal and my friend jana (cake-maker extraordinaire) made me the most beautiful cupcakes for dessert. hudson declared them 'delicious' and asked for another :) bobby picked out a gorgeous bouquet of flowers for me! just beautiful!
the grown ups dined in the front room, where things are still 'normal.' that's jana & kent in the front, uncle mark in the middle and us old folk in the back LOL
since the mosquitos are swarming outside, the kids had a little make-shift table in the part of the kitchen that is not waterlogged.
the food was yummy (thanks mark & bobby), the company was fabulous and i'm filled with lots of love & birthday cake!
closing out an adventure-packed year, looking forward to perhaps a more uneventful upcoming year LOL
once more, thanks to all my friends & family. i love you all. xoxo.
