April 26, 2010

Thank you, sweet bloggy friends, for all the kind birthday wishes you left for me on Friday! I felt very special and very loved! You helped make my day incredible!

Also, a HUGE thank you to my sweet Hubbie, for all your thoughtfulness.  :)  I love you!

For Monday, April 26, 2010~

Outside my window~cloudy, rainy, around 55 degrees

I am hearing~the chatter of family members :)

I am thinking~about how special I felt on Friday!

I am thankful~for sweet friends and family who love me

I am remembering~the surprise I felt when I opened my blog on Friday morning and saw the most wonderful birthday gift from my Hubbie and how many birthday wishes I got on the blog and on Facebook

I am reading~my Bible, a flower book, and sales papers

I am hoping~that my folks have a safe trip down to our house today

On my mind~is Ruby (my friend, Diane's mom)

From the learning rooms~polygons, quadrilaterals, Yikes! The beginning of Algebra in fourth grade?!?!?

Noticing that~the dining room is almost clutter-free :)

Pondering these words~

"God is always good, and God is always right!" ~Evangelist John Bishop

From the kitchen~

Monday~out to eat with my parents for my birthday

Tuesday~cheeseburgers, salad

Wednesday~BBQ chicken, mac-n-cheese, lima beans

Thursday~pizza noodle casserole, salad

Friday~taco bowls

Saturday~spaghetti

Around the house~I need to get some cleaning done today. I was hoping to do some yard work this morning, but it is raining...so I guess that's my cue to get busy indoors! :) Well, after I get this post published...

One of my favorite things~is watching grandparents with their grandkids

A few plans for the rest of the week~not very busy this week, except Wednesday, when I am planning to go to a curriculum sale (It's hard to believe that it's already time to purchase for next school year!)

From my picture journal~some memories from my birthday

Out for early dinner at The Cheesecake Factory~and yes, that is Orange Chicken :)

 

Our server and some of his coworkers singing to me

Birthday cheesecake

Snickers Cheesecake (I shared with Hubbie)

My goodness, I was spoiled! ;) and loved every minute of it!

After church on Friday night, we had this ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery (and Hubbie did use a coupon for the cake)

Chocolate cake with chocolate peanut butter ice cream, topped with Reese's peanut butter cups

Again, thank you so much for all the sweet birthday wishes. This is one birthday I won't forget!

I hope you had a great weekend, and that you have a blessed week ahead!

I will be linking up to The Simple Woman's Daybook on Tuesday. Hop on over there if you would like to read other Daybooks.
