Happy Saturday Everyone! It has been a fun packed...Birthday Celebrating Day! You see...today is Tone Tone's 69th Birthday!!!! We did some celebrating...First though, I started the day with a park walk with my pal Donna...then I had birthday errands to run. So I picked up my birthday assistant Emily and we headed off to Party City..for some birthday balloon action!!!
The Divine Ms. Em and I got everything we needed to kick off Tone Tone's Day o' Birth in style. The three of us had brunch at the Egg and I (where I ate a healthy egg white omelet instead of my favorite Eggs Benedict)...Tone Tone got a purple flower ring Emily picked out...then we stopped off to pick up a Mini Birthday Cake for Tone Tone to share with Emily and Donna...now here is where it gets interesting for the Fluffy Girl...Of course, I had to purchase the cake...which required me gazing upon all the B-E-A-U-tiful pastries at HEB. THEN...when we cut the cake I had a choice to make...do I have a small tiny piece of cake in honor of my one and only mother...or do I show incredible fortitude and just say NO! What do you think happened???? Yes...I said NO!!!!! The Fluffy Girl overcame!!!!
After cake...we headed shopping for a NEW TV for Tone Tone (and me..hehehe). Our TV is on it's death bed...so it was time! So TT got a new 37" LCD 1080 P HDTV---E-I-E-I-O! A gift from Donna, Bill, Emily and I! After shopping and a very short rest...we headed out to dinner at our favorite seafood place...where the Fluffy Girl (and Tone Tone) ate healthy boiled crab/shrimp, salads and steamed veggies (no butter/no sodium).
We had a nice dinner and I am thinking that Tone Tone enjoyed her birthday!
I survived not having cake...another miracle :)
On a serious note...It was a great day to celebrate my wonderful Mom..a strong, faith-filled woman and a wonderful role model. I had the benefit of being raised by 2 strong women...My Mom and My Grandmother. I am quite grateful for that...they provided me with the tools to rise above the obstacles...even cake!!!
Thank you Julie Ann, Kyle and Barbara for reminding me!!!
I am headed into Sunday...cake free and happy!
See you tomorrow! One more pic before I go...Me and my BFF
