Thank you so much for all of the wonderful birthday wishes. The cakes and photos are beautiful.
The girls got me when I came to work at 6:45 this morning. My office area was (and still is) decorated with balloons, and we had a scrumptious cake for breakfast. Then I had to go out in the cold nasty rain to go to a new site in my southern county. My boss thought I said "nude site" at staff meeting, and asked if he could go with me. LOL
I cooked a small ham Saturday so I'd have ham for lunches and dinners this week. I did it in the crockpot with a little cherry Dr Pepper poured in the bottom and pineapple chunks over the top. YUMMY! My sister did a ham yesterday from Costco, and it was very good, too.
My sister told me to sit down yesterday because she had something very important to tell me before they picked up my other sister for dinner. (Everyone had such serious looks on their faces.) She said not to be upset that we aren't doing birthday or Christmas presents this year. When I said I was good with that, she said great because...........they all shouted "We're going to Cancun for Christmas!" I'm so excited!!! It will be my sister, brother-in-law, niece, nephew, nephew's new wife, her parents, and me. My new niece's best friend growing up owns a mystery destination travel agency in Pittsburgh. She's arranging an all inclusive package for our trip, and is not charging her usual fees. Plus she's giving us the employee discount.
OC - I cook bacon in the microwave. I wrap a few slices in paper towels before them on a plate. It only takes about 2 minutes. When done, I throw away the paper towels. The greasy paper towels go straight in the garbage, and take the smell with them.
YPG - I hope you get relief from your pain.
