I went to bed last night and it was summer, woke up today and its winter. It was over 70 degrees yesterday, right now it is 46 with a wind chill of 40! But that is Delaware weather this time of year. I much prefer this weather to the summerlike weather we had yesterday. There is even a chance of snow this coming week! I am definitely a winter person!
Last night was a very enjoyable evening. Me, hubby and kota went to the diner for dinner. where EVERYONE sang happy birthday to me. That was funny, even the customers sang! We proceeded to walmart where I picked out my present. This is much easier than allowing hubby to pick something. lol I picked out a White Diamonds gift set, my favorite perfume! Then a quick stop for a bottle of my favorite wine, verde spumante. Oh yes, I also pick up a cake at walmart. They have the best icing! We came home, had cake and wine and watched Vin Diesel movies. To me, it was perfect. Just having my family celebrate with me, being silly and reciting lines from the movie.
For breakfast this morning it was coffee and a small piece of birthday cake. Cindy would be proud! I work today 2 until 10, a good shift. I don't like the early morning shift at all! My brother in law was in walmart yesterday and stopped to wish me a happy birthday. He is more a brother to me than an inlaw. I feel like I don't get to see much of my family anymore because of my work schedule. When I have days off, they are working. I guess I will have to wait until after Christmas to spend quality time with them. But I miss them alot! Sometimes my sister stops in walmart and comes to see me. I hope she knows what a great feeling that is.
Life at 44 is pretty darn good! I have family and friends who love me and that makes me the richest person on earth. One of my favorite movie quotes is from Its a Wonderful Life. At the end of the movie George Bailey gets a book from Clarence, his angel. Clarence wrote in the book, No man is a failure who has friends. I think thats it, maybe not exactly. But that is the truth I life by.
I have come a long way from being a closed up fearful person, to someone who opens her heart to any possible friend.
