Birthday present from my aunt Nin. Love her!!
Decided on a Hawaiian themed birthday! For $7 had to get some Leis.
Birthday Present - With Aunt Barbara's gift
A stay-on heating pad. The last one I got cuts off after 2 hours - I'm tired of waking up 2 hours later freezing and having to turn it back on. I hope this stay-on actually works.
Talk about a nice 50th birthday! Got some new PJs (I live in sleepwear), candy, money, Hogwarts Ron Weasley wan replica, cards, good food & company. I love it but y'all should stop spoiling me.
And Pina Colada's as a nightcap!
I'm 18,262 days old - 50 years. I was finally comfortable with being 40-something... now I'll have to get used to 50-something over the next 10 years. LOL.
I have leveled up!
Done B'day preparing for today and had a blast doing it. Pre-chopped veggies, strawberries hulled, bacon fried, Fiery Broth made, Bilbo's Sauce made, cheese loaf prepared, cheese grated & Herbal Potato Mash made. Vacuumed and did my laundry today as well.
Tomorrow I will make the crusty white bread and candied apples. Need to dust in my room and clean the bathroom - either tonight or tomorrow.
For my B'day all I have to do (besides clean my mess between meals - won't take long):
Breakfast: heat bacon, scramble the eggs - easy.
2nd Breakfast: Assemble the Beorn's Toast - easy.
Elevensies: Assemble Dorthy's Toast - easy.
Lunch: Warm the broth - fast and easy.
Afternoon tea: Make finger sandwiches - fast and easy.
Dinner: Make up Kebabs and cook them, heat up the potato mash.
Supper - Assemble the fruit cup.
Drinks - made to order.
Really not much to do on the 3rd because all the big/major stuff will be done ahead of time. Should be a pleasant day and able to watch the LotR trilogy extended easily.
Nut and Honey sleeping in the window today. They will celebrate their 9th Birthdays with my 50th. We celebrate our birthdays together every single year.
In 9 more days left until the big Golden Day.
My kitty girls: Nut and Honey will celebrate their 9th birthday this year! Must find something special for their birthdays. Will get them some kind of special treats!
I've thought about it. I'd decided for my 50th birthday I want foods from different literary fantasy worlds to eat. So LotR/Hobbit, Narnia, Disney, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Dungeons & Dragons will be represented buy foods. Haha. Oh wait, I do this often - for my Unbirthday Parties. Haha.
