Yes today, April 17th is Stacy's birthday. For the next almost 5 months she'll be "older" than I am. During this time she loves to occasionally mention that, it's OK, we're the same age more than not.
Earlier in the week Stacy was down in McCall, Idaho, for two days of state level meetings, leaving last Sunday to drive down and coming back late Tuesday evening. Then Thursday she had to go to Coeur d'Alene for more meetings.
So on Monday, with Stacy being gone, everyone was planning a lunch party for Stacy which was to be a bring your own salad, kind of buffet, luncheon. That sounded pretty good and would have been nice, but Tuesday one fellow employee decided she didn't want to come in on her day off, Friday, and wanted the party moved to the following Monday, then later that day she decided that trying out the new Mexican restaurant would be so much better than a salad lunch, this was still for Stacy, right?
But to keep the peace, it was decided to 'officially' have the Monday thing but on the 'down - low' there'd be a small lunch on Friday anyway because today IS Stacy's birthday after all!
So 5 of us had a nice lunch, as I had ordered a birthday cupcake, cake, on Monday after work I still picked it up and we all had a cupcake, or 2, in Stacy's honor. The secretaries from the Prosecutor's Office bought some flowers for Stacy that were delivered before lunch and one bought a burrito for her that unfortunately made Stacy feel a bit sick. Turns out the 'veggie' healthy burrito was loaded with Kale and some weird greens and a spicy sauce that upset both my and Stacy's stomachs, I tried it too, not very good when you hit the buried 'sauce' in it. :(
A little after lunch Stacy got a "Flowers Dot Com" box via UPS from Sandy which was very nice and very unexpected. Son, Sean, had sent Stacy a variety of some candies from Hawaii called "Donkey Balls" which actually are good if you get past the name!
And I did the right thing this year after Stacy gave me an idea of some things she'd wanted and let me kinda pick out what I thought she might like best on one of them.
So, hopefully the rest of the day will be nice. Nothing special planned, especially if our stomachs don't calm down in the next few hours!
Today is on the way to being the warmest day of the year so far. Winter is definitely over here and we had already had the snow tires swapped for the summer tires on the Prius about a month earlier than last year with those warmer than "normal" temps.
Gearing up for the weeds, mowing, cleaning, sawing and all the work of the coming summer!
Till next time.
