A Day Off
July 29, 2005

I get a day of rest, today.


No hauling no prepping no serving no nothing.


In fact, I was served breakfast in bed. The Husband did his famous dark toast and crispy eggs that I have learned to love so much. He calls them Juevos Con Crispos in an effort to mask the fact that the dear man thinks all food should be cooked on high. (Thank God for non-stick)


And why all this fabulousness for me on an average old Friday?


Because today is no average day.


Today is my birthday.


I am not even going to bitch about the group of 15 who complained that.... wait... never mind. I said I wasn't going to bitch and I meant it. The story will keep for another day or more.


I am going to walk around happy and excited that today is my special day.


And more importantly - I get gifts! And a cake, I bet. Yes. I bet there's a cake!


Ohhh and lemon drops. There will most certainly be lemon drops.


And gifts!


And...

Happy Birthday FW! I just finished all of your posts and they have given me perspective. I'm not alone when dealing with fools and that makes me feel a bit better. Misery does love company!
Enjoy those lemon drops! I hope to make a pitcher or two for a bridal shower tomorrow. I'm sure they'll be guzzled in no time!

Happy Birthday from a new Whore admirer. My boss wishes you Happy Birthday, too. She's happy that I finally got some work done today, after spending the past week reading all of the archives.

Have as many lemon drops as you can, but please don't carry any organic vegetables or red potatoes around when you do. ;-)

Thanks for the great blog.

Thank you, everyone. The good wishes are fabulous.


And the day itself was simply wonderful...except for the unfortunate flip-flop issue.

But that's a blog for another day.

Posted by: The Food Whore at July 30, 2005 10:54 PM

Happy Happy B-Day to You! Been lurking for a while, reading through the archives, but haven't posted.

Hope it's a great day, and don't wait too long to bitch about the party of 15... those are my favorite posts!

Posted by: Hope at July 31, 2005 09:09 PM

Happy Belated Birthday! Mine was yesterday and breakfast in bed was the theme here too. Can't get a better start than that! ;)

Posted by: Sweetnicks at August 1, 2005 07:20 AM
