• Yesterday was my sister's 33 birthday!  I got her a card but as usual, it will be late.  *sigh*  I have good intentions with cards, but mine generally always arrive late. 

  Yesterday was also a friend from church's 33rd birthday.  Makes it easy for me to remember since it falls on the same day as my sister's.  So to celebrate that, my son and I went to dinner with him, the pastor and family, and two other families from church.  We went to My Big Fat Greek Restaurant, which was so fun!  I had never been there before and we had a good time.  I had a Mediterranean pizza, which included feta cheese and olives, and my son had a cheeseburger and fries.  We did not have dessert, but for my friend's birthday, he was given a slice of baklava and it looked so great!  I think only one of the other families ordered dessert, but if I had been hungry, I would have considered it, because they had an amazing look cheesecake. 

  This morning we slept in late and then just did stuff around the house for the rest of the morning.  This afternoon my son went with another friend from church to get fitted for a tux for a wedding he'll be in next month.  I took that hour and went to visit the coffee shop guy, and also got a glass of tea while I was there.  I would love to own a coffee shop someday.... a coffee shop/bookstore was my dream when I was in highschool.... I wanted to live in a city and have a two story building.  The shop would have been on the first story and then I would live on the second story.  Obviously that has not (yet!) become reality, but a girl can dream!

  This week's recipe of the week was Cherry Nut Crisp.  It turned out great! My son gave it a 10 and he has eaten half the pan of it!  I also took some to coffee shop guy today so he can rate it, and whatever is left I think I'll take to church tomorrow or else to work on Monday.

  Speaking of church, it is my day to take snacks tomorrow.  I have 3 ripe bananas so maybe I'll make some mini muffins and then stop on the way and get some fruit...maybe grapes or little oranges to put as an option, and that will be it. 

  Crazy news on the asteroid that hit earlier in the week, isn't it?  Signs of the times..

   

  I am still working on finishing up this absolutely terrible book:  

  Currently Toxic People: 10 Ways Of Dealing With People Who Make Your Life Miserable By Lillian Glass see related

   

  Obviously, I am not a huge fan of it. I've taken away a few tidbits of interesting ideas, but mostly it is a waste.
