Happy Birthday Janet!!!

[Janet]

I really didn't think Rick would bring home a cake. It was about a 9 inch round cake and it was so pretty. I haven't had a birthday cake in years. That's why I thought, I ought to make myself one, but then decided I'd rather have a pecan pie. Turns out I got both...

Ricky said he'd take me to Red Lobster or Outback for my birthday. We'll see. He's not good at buying gifts or even being very thoughtful on special days. Not sure why, because we've always celebrated special occasions.

I did get a couple of other surprises. One was an email from my younger brother. It said: "Happy b-day". Guess it was too much to spell it out so I emailed back: "thx". I know....I wasn't very nice, but I'm only going to meet him half way.

Then my niece, my older brother Jerry's oldest daughter sent me an email. We don't speak anymore because of something she tried to start up on FB between my brother and I. Her email said: "We may not be speaking but I did want to wish you a Happy Birthday" and I did email back "Thank you, I had a really nice day."

So...that was my birthday. So with that and all the wonderful birthday wishes from friends I really had a nice birthday. Wish I could've heard the phone ring first thing in the morning like every year and hear Mom's voice singing happy birthday to me. She couldn't carry a tune in a bucket...lolol....but I sure miss hearing her sing it.
All in all it was a very nice day.
