Another Year older!!

So it worked for Ellen, Tracy and Cheryl to go to Mongo's with me. It was so nice to sit down and have a long visit with them. Ellen is off on a sunny vacation tomorrow so I won't be able to see her for a while. I'll miss her! Tracy and City Mom are so busy working I don't see them very often.

On Saturday, while I was out with the girls Dan and Dave went shopping at Kildonan Place and bought me some beautiful B-day presents! Great choice guys! Now I'll be able to keep cooking!

Dan and I were supposed to go for supper; the place was to be a surprize for me. I figured he would take to me Olive Garden or our other "secret" dining spot. Well, he did take me to the Olive Garden eventually...first we went for a "scenic" drive through Winnipeg and finally ended up at Olive Garden. Dan had invited a bunch of our relatives to meet us there for a surprize party. I couldn't believe he had managed to contact everyone; I usually know everything that is going on!! JJ. When we got there the line-up to get in was crazy but luckily Auntie Anne had already put her name in for a table so we didn't have to wait very long. The meals were great as usual.

I sure missed Karyn tho. I had no one to be silly with. I'm sure dad was pleased the meal went off without a hitch. He usually has to deal with Karyn or myself doing something strange or silly. Karyn did send flowers for me...orange ones. They are so beautiful! Harley really enjoys them too. He's been smelling them, eating them, playing with them and posing with them.

After supper mom, dad, Justin, Dave, Ray, Martha, and Kara came over for a visit. It was great. Dan, Dave, and Justin had even cleaned up the house for the company! Awesome. I really was the "Queen" for a day!

Yesterday (Sunday night) I started a new puzzle. It has 1500 pieces. I'm really excited about doing it but it was a little overwhelming to get going. I need Auntie Shirley here to help. I got so caught up working on the puzzle that I didn't get to bed until after 2 a.m. (I think).

I went to go see Dreamgirls last night. It was good. I plan to watch another movie tonight. I gotta use those coupons before they expire! I really want to see Employee of the Month and Stranger than Fiction.
