May 13th
This bull is now 31 years young! The day was full of surprises. First, A took the day off. We had talked about it a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't think he would. As always, these are days when pressure builds up on A to outdo my prep for his B'day. The poor chap squeals and scampers around in the manner of a mouse that's just entered the confines of a mousetrap.
The evening before, he never turned up home till 6:45. I was pretty sure he was at CM hunting for a cake and a card. When he finally did come home, I implishly asked him to put the cake in the frig. He appeared to be very nonchalant, guffawed and said, "What cake? There is nothing to put in the frig." And, he also told me not to build castles in the air. Well, I believed him. On the D day, we woke up late. While having breakfast I spotted the cute little envelope from Hallmark on the kitchen island.
It was all very colorful, cute and comical. I have a thing for cards. Yeah, I do. Well, some things just don't change, do they?
Before heading out for lunch I was ready to cut the cake. (I just realised that I don't have a picture of the cake.) It was a small chocolate cake, just right for two people. When setting the table to do the deed, I happened to spot my other surprise in a Sephora bag. Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne! I slapped my hand to my mouth and let out a squeal. The man had actually taken some time off from work to go all the way to Sephora! Not just that, from there he took the light rail to ID to get to Speciality's Cafe & Bakery to get my cake and a chocolate dessert. He even popped into Starbucks and got me a Tiramisu lollipop with a coffee bean on top! Man, did he outdo me!
After a lunch of Shawarma and Zahara at Mediterranean Kitchen, we went to Home Depot to collect some paint samples for Peanut's room. We picked a few shades of yellows and oranges. In the evening I had my doc visit. We saw Peanut. She is a little small but healthy. I am surprised the extra protien is not helping much. I hope she comes out safe and sound.
We then drove to West Seattle for dinner at a Latin restaurant and lounge called Mission. Jalapenos stuffed with cheese and Mexican chocolate, anyone? Very yummy. And they had the same fantastic rellenos I had at Palm Beach on a vacation. Surprise after surprise. Could the day get any better?
