‘Tis My Birthday

It’s my birthday! It’s going to be a pretty low key birthday this year – probably just go out to dinner with hubby. This morning we went to the golf course down the street for breakfast. It’s funny, they have such crappy coffee, however, I still always manage to block that out of my mind and order a cup. I’m always shocked that the coffee is terrible, then I remember … duh their coffee is always terrible – at least they’re consistent.

My mom just showed up with a birthday pie. That’s right, a pie. I love lemon meringue pie, and my mom was sweet enough to bake one for me. But, it’s not like we need more sweets in the house. I have two tubs (yes, tubs from cosco) of cookies sitting on my kitchen counter. We had them from the neighborhood BBQ that happened a couple of days ago. That reminds me, I should talk about the BBQ.

So, a couple of days ago our whole neighborhood was invited to a BBQ at the local park. Both hubby and I had a vision of outside pick nick tables …etc … but the BBQ was held indoors in the rec-center type room. The acoustics in the room were terrible and to talk to anyone required yelling. Also, our neighborhood consists of mainly retired “older” folks, so yelling while taking was probably going to occur whether inside or not. Yes, everyone was about 60 or older and then there was hubby and I. It was quite funny. Basically all the people in the room could have either been my parent or more likely my grandparent. Out of our neighborhood of 6 blocks with about 12 houses each on both sides, only about 20 people showed up. Not a big turnout. But hubby and I were there along with my mom & aunt (and our tubs of cookies). It was fun, they had a raffle. I also caved and ate a piece of bbq chicken. I know, I know … I’m going to vegetarian hell for that offense.

Well, I might go enjoy some birthday pie …
