A fun birthday Saturday

December 5, 2010 – 3:28 pm

The best woman in the world had a birthday yesterday and we had a great day celebrating it. Thats right, it was my mother’s birthday and she turned fifty ten. Do you get it? If not you will at the end of the post. Anyways, my mom and I went to Ocean Grove for the day. It is a lovely seaside resort with magnificent Victorian architecture. Every house is different and unique in its own way. The shops are cute and the people  are very friendly. My mom would love to move there. I better start saving up. Hehe.

 

We walked to the beach even though it was freezing out. Luckily, I was smart and dressed warmly instead of dressing stupidly. It seems like my mom and I go to the beach at least once every winter for some reason. It is nice there but sure cold. While we were standing on the beach we saw these two people feeding tons of seagulls and pigeons. They are lucky the birds didnt gang up on them and take the paper bags from their hands.

 

A few times all the birds took flight and flew over our heads. Then they would all regather near the people with the food. It was awesome but definitely not a situation to be in if you are scared of birds. The whole experience reminded me of the movie, The Birds.

 

After we had a great day at Ocean Grove we came home. But the celebration wasnt over yet. I wanted to get her a cake to make the day perfect. So, first I went to A&P and got a wonderful rich chocolate mousse cake but it wasnt complete yet. I looked around the store for the numbers I needed but I couldnt find them. So, then I drove to Stop & Shop and found the numbers. If you put 6 and 0 together, what do you get? Fifty ten. Happy birthday mom! Remember age is just a number. It isnt who you are.

A birthday in Brooklyn

September 19, 2010 – 11:59 pm

So, my mom and I spent the day in the city but not to see a Broadway show. We went to a fancy restaurant in Brooklyn to celebrate my god mother’s birthday. Her birthday isnt today but we had a little celebration before the big day. It was great because I love my god family and we dont see them often.

The restaurant is under the Brooklyn Bridge which is a spectacular sight.

The restaurant had wonderful food. We ate brunch there and it was delicious. I had a salad as the appetizer and pancakes as the meal. After that there was delicious desserts like this bridge cake. Isnt it cool?

This looks a lot like a postcard photo but I love it. Just captures the great city and the Brooklyn Bridge. Look at that water! It looks so rough and cold. Definitely a picture perfect place though.

Like my outfit? I bought it for this special day because I had no nice clothes for a fancy restaurant. It made me look like a lady. My mom and I had a great time seeing wonderful friends in the city. I cant wait until we see them again. Happy birthday Susie!

Christmas Eve Plus A Birthday

December 24, 2009 – 11:04 pm

We just dont celebrate Christmas Eve today in my family. Today is also my Grandpas birthday. Even though he passed away a few years ago he is never forgotten. We may not be partying down here but I bet he is partying up in heaven. Telling his jokes to everyone and eating cake. My Grandpa was my father figure to me and he was the sweetest guy in the entire world. Happy Birthday Grampa. By the way, the photo above is my grandpa and I.

So, today I wrapped the three Christmas presents I got my mother. Took me a long time since I cant wrap. I forgot how to partially but I tried my best. Callie had fun getting in my way and playing with the wrapping paper. Silly cat. Anyways, I hope she will like the three gifts. I think she will. Its really the thought that counts. Cant show you the gifts yet but I will tomorrow. Keep patient. Santa will deliver them soon.

Yes, the dogs and the cat have gifts for Christmas too. They are part of the family so of course they are on the gift list. The dogs are lucky I did not find any cute clothes that I wanted for them this year. Hehe. This year the dogs are getting some treats and toys. For Callie’s first Christmas with us she is getting little toy mice to bat around. Sorry Callie no real mice allowed in my room.

I took these two photos of the dogs today. Well, I took a set but I thought I would just share two and these are the two favorites of mine. I was thinking how we needed some pack portrait. So, here are two Christmas portraits of my pack. Amazingly they all stayed still and cooperated. What do you think of them?

Before you know it Christmas will be here. So, I will wish everyone an early Christmas just in case you wont be around tomorrow. My grandma is coming over for Christmas, which will be nice. Its always great to have the family together. Hope everyone has a joyful Christmas and has fun. I will talk to you all soon and will post my Christmas day adventure tomorrow night. Ho Ho Ho! Merry Early Christmas.

59 Is Just A Number

December 4, 2009 – 11:25 pm

Happy Birthday Mom! Today was my moms 59th year old birthday. Hope she enjoyed it because I enjoyed spending her birthday with her. I made my mom a birthday card. Yes, I made the card. I always make the cards for her and my grandma. Its one of a kind card which makes it extra special. My mom, grandma and I went to an Italian restaurant for dinner and oh my it was delicious. I had gnocchi which was amazing and the best I ever had. I really had a wonderful time spending time with my family. Lets all wish my mom a happy 59th birthday.

Dont worry mom, 59 is just a number. I dont see you as it. I dont see you as any number. I see you as my one and only mom who I love and adore. No number will ever define you to me. It all depends on who you are inside and not whats on the outside. People always look at someone a certain way depending on their age but they forget the important part which is the soul and the beauty of the person inside. Mom you are still a very determined and fun person. Just remember do not let the number be who you are. xoxo

Christmas In My Ears

November 19, 2009 – 12:15 am

A lot of people do not start listening to Christmas music until a few weeks or days before the holiday and stop listening to it when Christmas is over. Not me. I start months before and continue listening to it after Christmas passes. What can I say. I just love Christmas music. The songs are beautiful, upbeat and just tell wonderful stories. I guess it is also because I love Christmas, but I will explain that more in detail when Christmas is right around the corner. There is not many Christmas songs that I do not like but there are certain singers that I just love singing Christmas songs. For example, Josh Groban has a great spiritual voice. My favorite Christmas song he does is Silent Night. Just makes the song so beautiful and touching. One of my top favorite singers, Carrie Underwood does a wonderful version of Do You Hear What I Hear. Her strong voice is perfect for the song. My last one I will share with you is Oh Holy Night sung by Celine Dion. Her beautiful voice just fills the song with emotion. The cd above is a great Christmas album. They do not have the versions of songs I mentioned but it is still a cd i recommend.
Christmas is not too far away so everyone be prepared. It will be here quicker than you know it. My mom and I do not get all Christmas-y until after her birthday which is December 4th. Its our rule. Anyways, it felt like it was coming today because of the chilly here. I was all bundled up in my sweatshirt today. Nice and cozy. I hope you all had a nice Wednesday and do not forget to stay bundled up in the cold weather. Peace

Happy 95th Birthday Grandma

October 5, 2009 – 8:00 pm

Grandma_95th_Birthday_09My Grandma is 95 today and she is still going strong. Even though her memory is not that great and asks me a hundred times what grade I am in she is still very witty. One lady who was at the brink of death and now is back to her strong self. She amazes me everyday how she went through so much and is where she is today. So, for her birthday we went to this wonderful Italian restaurant called Andreas. They have amazing food. I always get some sort of pasta because it is so good. Tonight I got gnocchi and it was delicious! I am stuffed. It was nice for my Grandma to get out. She enjoyed it so, so did my mom and I. Happy Birthday Grandma!

Ah, its been an overall a good day. No big drama at school and  nice celebration of my Grandma’s birthday. Could not ask for more in a day. It is time to relax. Time to blast some good music. Time to just enjoy the night before another day of school comes by way. Well, I hope you all enjoyed this Monday and found something positive about it and I will chitty chat with you all soon. Peace.
