Silly moments

First, in case you forget what I'm doing for my birthday Ginger got me tickets to Fantasies in Chocolate again. If you're wonder what that is, click here to have your eyes molested by chocolate (and to see me 179 months pregnant at last years event...this year I will be rockin). And yes I know YOU ARE VERY JEALOUS!

Now for the sillyness. The other day my husband and I were out at dinner and there was cake. I said I was full. Rob reached over and patted the side of my tummy and said, "babe did you forget about the special desert compartment." I know, you're thinking wow she's a cow. But it was really the cutest thing ever because my husband knows that no matter how full I am THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR DESERT! I love that he knows me that well, and never judges my need for cake!

Tonight I baked Brandon mini cookies. I like to do this because when I do my son tells me, "mommy you are the best mommy cookie baker ever," and "mommy you bake me cookies because you love me." Anywho to spice it up tonight I smooshed some pumpkin ice cream between his chocolate chip cookies. His eyes lit up and he took a bite and ice cream gooed out and at that moment, I knew I had totally won at the mom thing....... for tonight anyway.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM ALL OF US

THE DISNEY LAND OF BAGELS

(Edited to add: The above title was supposed to read, THE DISNEYLAND OF BIRTHDAYS, NOT BAGELS!! I am obviously soooo stupefied with my bagels that is all I can think about!)

So I just went to my mail box to find the rest of my present from Patty!

She fucking knitted me a scarf.

I don't even know what to do right now. I'm totally overwhelmed. I don't think I've gotten a gift this personal since my grandma was here and made me doll clothes. The scarf has a faint scent of Patty, and I feel like I just unwrapped a giant New York hug in a box. I am going to keep this for life and put it on when ever I'm in need of a hug.

The rest of the gift.
Bath stuff
Chocolate...this shit is so good it won't make it through the hour.
And the sweetest most personal card ever
I can't begin to describe Patty how thankful I am for you in my life. Thank you soooo much I love you!

Update, I tasted the bacon chive cream cheese she mailed me and that stuff is enough to turn me into a meat eater!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

My birthday is tomorrow. Today Patty told me to keep an eye out for Fed Ex. About 20 minutes ago my mom said she saw them leaving. I hauled ass next door to my house and found a giant box on my door step. When I opened it I saw.....

GLORIOUS NEW YORK BAGELS.

I thought o cool she sent me a couple bagels.

NO

She sent me like two dozen or more bagels.

And cream cheese. The best cream cheese I've ever had in my life. Cream cheese so good I want to hide it and not share it with Brandon even.

It even had coffee in it and I'm sitting on my hands to avoid brewing coffee at 11:20 in the afternoon.

Of course I just took a little taste of the cream cheese

Heaven! This is what heaven is.

Patty this is the best birthday present I've gotten ever!

IN THE HISTORY OF PRESENTS THIS IS THE TOPPER!

I FUCKING LOVE YOU!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Aren't you all so jealous right now!
