You say it’s your birthday!

 March 16. I love that my birthday is in March. I love March.

We’re going to my favorite Mexican place for Fajitas! We went out for steak last week or is so that but fajitas sound so good! I’m being taken to one of my favorite local jewelry stores to pick out something. I ordered a piece of furniture ( which I’ll get into in a bit) and it’s being delivered. We’re going to marathon watch Fringe which the youngest son and husband have been watching with me. I LOVE IT. I’m going to set my mind to have a great cozy day and put the oldest children issue in an extra string box to deal with some other day.

We’ve picked out a couch and instead of going with another sectional we decided to get a sleeper sofa and two new recliners. I’ve ordered mine and I think the husband will end up with the same. It’s a gorgeous leather, electric recliner with USB ports and a Bluetooth speaker set up. I won’t bore you with all the details but she’s lovely and that, my friends, is how you known you’re getting old. Also decided to get a new mattress and we’re giving the YM everything that we’re replacing as it’s all in great shape and she’s in her own first place and needs all the furniture things. I remember that super well!! 

Things I like! Birthday Edition!

1)Lilacs ( going to get a tattoo of lilacs) they remind me of home and my childhood and it’s a good kind of reminds. We had probably ten lilac bushes planted in our front yard growing up and the smell mingled with spring and summer is a warm happy place

2) wearing a mask and not having to smile all the time as a social norm. 

3) silver and white gold. 

4) the many bunnies we have on the island.

5) we have a fresh water Bayou pretty damn close to our balcony and it’s crazy to get to see at this time of year the animals that live there that you won’t see much in the summer when the leaves come back. We have a variety of snakes, I do not enjoy that, owls, bob cats, armadillo ( which my dog loathes and thinks she could take one on. She hates her teeth and tries to get off her leash. Apparently no one has told her that those things fuck up semi trucks. That’s real armor, my friend and their claws aren’t for looks. She looks dumb. Bunnies? She loves them. Bob cats? She wants to get to know them better and we have to make her see the error of her ways. Coyotes, Foxes, there’s fish in the water but, I mean, who is gonna try and get at them? Bull frogs, which I loathe! Geckos, which I love, it’s like a wildlife preserve and fascinating to watch as for the most part they keep to themselves…. I mean ya, we get them coming out sometimes but they don’t seem to want to be aggressive usually. Do you remember last year when my husband found a rattlesnake on his windshield!? Yikes. There’s a bike trail that goes through it. No thanks.

6) blankets. 

 Shoot, I have to go. I’ll write more tomorrow and finish!!
