Leftovers

Have you ever left your leftovers out to cool before you put them in the fridge? Well, I like to do that because it’s just a preference of mine. I made spaghetti last night and as always when I put up the leftovers so I can wash the dishes I left them out on the counter so they can cool.

Well, I sat and watched my program for a little while even got up and made myself some dessert, which as you know would take me into the kitchen. Not paying any attention to the leftovers that I left on the counter to cool. Well I finish my dessert and my program, I get up to shut everything down and put my dishes in the sink. Again the leftovers are still sitting on the counter. Do I see them NO! I walk right past them and proceed to go to bed.

I get up in the morning and guess what I find, yep you guessed it my leftovers! So what I was planning on having for dinner tonight again I sadly had to toss. Now it will be a different dinner and a loss that I wasn’t counting on. Ugh, just one of those moments you want to kick yourself in the butt!

Birthday

My birthday was this weekend and I came down to spend it with my daughter, mother, and stepdad. So far it has been a wonderful birthday. My wonderful daughter (she is my youngest, my baby 🙂 went through a lot of hard work making me the birthday cake you see here. It was so delicious and so very moist! She did such a good job! It made my birthday and me feel so good. Thank you, baby girl! I greatly appreciate it and you! My sister and I, before I headed out of town went out to dinner for my birthday. We went to a Chinese buffet and had a lovely time! Then came back to my place and had a nice cup of coffee.

My beloved did something so very very special for me! He ordered me a delicious birthday cake. It came in this beautiful box that when you open it, it flowers into all kinds of pretty scenery. We got on video call before I opened the box (my present) so he could watch me open it. When I opened it I discovered it also came with a birthday candle. I was very excited about this. I immediately opened the cake and put the candle in it, lit the candle, and right after I got it lit my beloved started singing Happy Birthday to me. This just made my day! When he was done I blew my candle out and had a very nice taste of my little birthday cake. It was a beautiful moment.

 

Saturday evening my brother and his wife treated us all out for dinner at Golden Corral.  We had a nice time and a nice meal. Good conversation and family always go well together. It was a nice birthday, normally I would just spend my Birthday alone but I decided this year I was going to spend it with family. It was worth the trip!
