41 IS THE NEW 41!

I had a birthday this month. I thought I might show you some photos of my very low-key celebration: I have birthday pie every year. I don't like cake. This pie is my favorite. A chocolate silk pie. What could be wrong with whip cream and dark chocolate? Bubby decided to put 41 candles on the pie.....which was fine until all the kids wanted to take turns lighting the candles.

In the birthday package was my little piece of heaven. A super soft, totally fluffy heated blanket. I totally get it when kids want to carry their blankies around. If I could, I would take this blanket every where I went!

Izzy blowing out the candles. Note: see how the candles have turned into little nubs. It takes a looooonnnggg time for four kids to light 41 candles.

Oh! Did I mention the pie melted? It was kind of a soupy mess when it was served on to my plate but tasted divine none the less.

OLDER THAN DIRT

Yeh, yeh. That's what one of the cookies in a cookie bouquet that I received from my sister said. I'm 40.
And with tradition, Bubby always tries to out beat the last air freshener he buys me as a gift. Because we all know that nothing says "I love you" like an air freshener for your ratty, beat-up, old-and-barely-can-run van.

If you remember last year on Christmas, I received the Cat Butt air freshener as one of my Stockinig Stuffers. I thought that couldn't be topped until I opened my card yesterday and found this:
I can't wait to display this one proudly in my car. Hopefully he smells better than cat butt.
But I doubt it..........
