Survived my birthday

It's Friday, and the day after my birthday. I am now officially 53. It was a very nice day. Started out with Ed stopping by my workplace and bringing beautiful red and white roses that smell heavenly, a card, and nice music CD. I had many nice calls and warm wishes throughout the day as well, and a decadent chocolate cupcake my boss bought me at Starbuck's. And as anyone who knows me well knows, it will take a week to for me to eat it! Met seven of the gals from my women's group after work at Rock City, where there were many hugs as we haven't seen each other for two months. We were all having serious withdrawals. We also exchanged birthday and belated Christmas gifts, had wine and food and laughs. When I got home, Ed showed up with copious amounts of cat food and kitty litter for my brood, and dog bones for Harley. It was thoughtful of him to do that. It's not cheap, and it's not light to carry. But it was very much appreciated!
