GOOD MORNING…

Princess Crusies wished me a happy birthday.

So did Benihana.

Amanda and I decided to take them up on the offer.

My second drink, I should have had them pour it into my special cup, but it was blue. Amanda sure can pick out good drinks for me.

It is hard to take pictures of the food at Benihana, since the food kind of dribbles off the grill onto the plate. The soup was nice.

Hard to complain about ice cream.

Just sitting around listening to my favorite song.

Fucking around with the Facebook Timeline. Thought I would add a baby photo to me being born. Why should facebook get all the fun.

I had the lazy eye even back then. Surprised that my hat doesn’t say Suicidal Tendencies on it.

From the way back machine, I guess I thought I would have the kitchen done 3 years ago. Was wrong about that, but a lot of things have improved over here.

I am into the fact that I am sitting at the new counter that I built, it is a great place to sit in the morning and drink coffee and work on my blog.  It was so much fun to be able to be in the kitchen cooking while people were in the living room at the Pajama Jammy Jam, and we were still able to talk.  Thanks El Dorado, you are really behaving yourself.  Let’s see what you think of having lights and a new stove this year.  The new kitchen is on the agenda for January, I can’t wait to get this thing put in.

JetBlue would like me to have a happy birthday. You know what I don’t want to do on my birthday, go on a trip or two. Two trips in one day does not sound great.

I am not sure what happened, but I just noticed that the post about last year’s travel doesn’t have any of the summary data. It has now been updated, but in case you missed it, here is what last year looked like.

Howard Johnson, skipped right past my birthday, and is getting ready for MLK, you know, the fun vacation / travel day.

Puget Sound Blood Center wants me to give them something for my birthday. If you can, please donate blood. It isn’t hard, and you get to eat cookies guilt free.

I ended up giving away all my chips this morning at poker. It was fun playing next to Derek. We exchanged some recipes. That mother fuckers stuffed mushrooms are out of sight.
