WHAT A GREAT DAY!!
My birthday mathom to you - I thought this was so cool!! I know I've never seen a cat do this!! Apparently the cat is looking through a window at birds.
Thanks to all of you for making this such a great birthday!! It was a gorgeous, sunny day here of about 70 degrees. I had a lazy morning sipping raspberry hot chocolate and eating toasted cinnamon/raisin bread and watching Dancing With the Stars that I had taped Monday and Tuesday nights. Then I spent some time on LJ enjoying all your birthday wishes until I had to get ready to go to my OT appointment. Then on to the store for some cake and a few things and to the restaurant to get one of my favorite meals - fried shrimp!! When I left the restaurant after picking up my meal my clock radio said 4:14 - COOL!! Had a great meal then got a call from my friend J. and a surprise call from my aunt in Wisconsin and we talked for an hour!! She's the only one in my family that shares my political thinking and understands how I feel about my brother B. and the problems I've had with my Dad. It was so great talking to her.
I really need to get more info on Dad's side of the family from her - I would so love to do some searching into our family's history. My cousins on my Mom's side did quite a biography on my mother's father - but a lot of my Dad's family history is a real mystery. I've been watching the show on NBC - Do You Know Who You Are - and it's got me really wanting to get more info on my family.
I was hoping to be able to go back over my flist for the last week and get caught up and post comments - but I've run out of time so hopefully I can do that this weekend. But my taxes are done and ready to go!!
I think I left comments at all of your posts - if you didn't get a comment let me know because that means I missed your post. I'm in such a rush now to try to get this posted that I won't take the time to list you all - I'll try to do that this weekend.
Thanks to verangel, poplij, bagma, karin_woywod, and baranduin for the virtual gifts - and to addie71 for a virtual party!! And to lireeli and lisabellex for the birthday messages.
And I got a notification from LJ that I've got 2 more months of LJ paid for but it didn't mention a gift or who gave it - so to whoever is my benefactor out there - THANK YOU!! I wish you would make yourself known so that I could thank you properly!!
And if you haven't read it yet - RUN over to lbilover's fic journal and read the wonderful, heartwarming fic she wrote for me called "Everything is Illuminated". Frodo is feeling very alone now that Bilbo has left Bag End and Sam knows JUST what to do!! Here is the link:
