Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Yes, it's my birthday and I am going to blow my own horn ;) I love birthdays. All birthdays. They don't even have to be mine! I got some great pressies. A brand new spiffy laptop from dear husband, dishes from one of my sisters and a gift card from the other. Gorgeous Australian yarn from a dear friend and lots of cards! I'm having a very good day!

I've begun the preparation for my birthday feast. Yes, I make my own feast. No one else like celebrations but I adore them so I make my own. There will be chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, blackeyed peas, gravy and biscuits! A true Southern meal. I always have the same thing even if we actually go out to eat lol. When I was a kid it was fried chicken instead of the steak but that's too messy. Like chicken fried steak isn't?

And to top all that off we have yummy brownies! Was gonna make cake but I didn't have the right kind of icing nor the ingredients to make some. I can't drive so brownies it is! Brownies and cake all serve the same purpose anyway...to add inches to my hips ;)

Also, a great big happy birthday hug to my friend's daughter, Kaila!! And a big hug for anyone else celebrating a birthday today!
