28
No, it's not my favorite number- it's just how old I am now. Happy, happy Birthday me!
Just f.y.i.- you can still have birthday parties when you are 28. I might continue on having them at least until I'm 30. Perhaps when you stop having parties is when you really get old. I don't know. But I love my friends- all of them. We had a lovely party after church last night with tasty food and birthday apple crisp- thank you, Karyn. It was sooooo goood!!!!!! I got lots of fascinating birthday cards. Barbie, flipflops, a monkey with a snotty nose......oh, and we can't forget the "studfinder" card.....courtesy of my brother who once again was reminding me that I am still single. Whatever.... he did get me a good gift so I'll let it go this time. Yes, I even got presents- all kinds of nice things, including an 8x10 black and white picture of MacGyver to hang in our t.v. room.....I'm telling you, what more can you ask for? Oh yes, the phone call from Henry complete with the birthday song. It almost brought me to tears. His wasn't the only phone call- family from North Carolina called as well as my little Zavier, who also sang to me and promptly asked me to come over and have ice cream with him! If only I could zip out to Oregon for a bowl of ice cream with the little man!
Hopefully you get the picture that I had a great day. I even ate dinner at Outback with my family- and stuffed myself with the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under!
Thanks to everyone who helped me have a lovely number 28!

Lesson #942- don't kiss anyone with a snotty nose.
It's a good thing to remember. Of course, sometimes you don't intend for something to happen, and then it's too late and you have snot on your face- someone else's snot.
Yesterday when I went to pick up Nils from school, I got down on my knees to talk to him. He threw his arms around my neck and "kissed" me right on the mouth. Nils never kisses me- I kiss him all the time, but this was totally a first for him. In a way, I was thrilled at this voluntary show of affection. However, his nose was running and the "kiss" was more of a spit. It's hard to describe. And Imran was the only witness- he just laughed at me and was probably secretly glad that Nils had chosen me as the victim of this action. You know how Bill Cosby always said, "I zerburt you"? I think it may have been an extra slobbery zerburt. All I know is, I ended up wiping my face off with my glove, and Nils ran off laughing.

Happy Birthday to Nils!Yes, Nils turned 6 this past weekend. We had quite a day. We went to the pet store and bought a fish. Nils keeps walking around saying, "what's his name?" The fish doesn't actually have a name yet. We're just hoping he lives for a week or so at least.
Nils did a great job blowing out his candles. It took several tries, but he finally got them all out by himself ! He got lots of presents, including a new bike, which he immediately rode all around the kitchen!
