Birthday log Star Date 12 April 2013

I turned 48 yesterday and it was delightful so I thought I would write it all down. My spouse did a great job making it pleasant and delicious. It started with breakfast. I slept in while he got up early to make the lunches for the kids and make quiche and chocolate croissants. We had breakfast together and I got my presents. Lovely cards, socks with water lilies, dolphin earrings, tickets to the Muppet Movie at the Brattle, a promissory note for the Donkey Show AND tickets to see ICARUS, the new Liars & Believers play. I had despaired of seeing it because of the expense for the tickets and baby sitting, but he bought them as a present. I think experiences are the best presents. So then, kids to school and me for some yoga. Then work, clean, shop, cook but nothing ambitious. I had a blast doing Madlibs with my daughter for the first time too. Dinner was nice. We had amazing Clear Flour bread and for dessert a delicious Rosie's Mocha cake. I read the Borrowers to the kids on the couch. No dishes tonight! Replied to many, many facebook and twitter birthday wishes and got the kids to bed. Then Doctor Who & champagne! At some point there was more cake, but who's counting? Then a bit of Sherlock Jr. and to bed. I'm pleased that I don't have a hangover so that I can keep this party going! Today we've got the Muppet Movie and other delights in store.
