Happy Birthday to Me

Yesterday was my birthday. I spent it in the company of the people who I love the most. Yes, I can even love Pete on my birthday.
The family asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I since I was slightly worn out from the last couple of weeks (okay the summer) and we are low on resources from our vacation (okay we’re broke), I asked that they clean the van.
But I took the van to see the sister so they didn’t have it to clean. Lucky them.
So instead, we got take-out so I didn’t have to cook dinner.
And they did the dishes afterward. Because our dishwasher is broken – still.
The husband amused us by asking state trivia.
“What is the capital of Louisiana?”
Wikipedia says “Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge” in a French accent.
For some reason it was funny.
Then somehow the conversation drifted to bodily functions. And they wanted Wikipedia to translate in French.
And it was really funny.
So happy birthday to me.
I’m not posting this anywhere because I only want the five people who read this blog to see it.
I may not have had the most glamorous, exotic and expensive birthday. But I am truly blessed. Flatulence and all.
Happy Belated Birthday!!!
