I love coffee mornings, oh, wait, that is every morning for me. Today is the beginning of my birthday week. Well, in actuality, I take the whole month for me and Elizabeth. Did everyone notice the weather changing? You’re welcome.
So yesterday was the first day I have cooked bacon since Chewie left us, man I miss that dog, he could beg better than anyone! Nocona is a poor second in the begging department. The bacon was good though, if anyone is wondering, bacon and pancakes. I have to tell you all something, I make the best pancakes ever. It is the only thing that I cook really well. I love my pancakes, that’s all. I allow myself one, sans syrup, with two strips of bacon, add coffee and you have a feast.
I have a lot on my mind right now, I am still forming the words, when I am ready to share, you all will be the first to know.
I do want to confess something, I have a new addiction, Scramble with Friends, I cannot stop playing it! I love it! Everyone should play this game, you will become addicted as well, yes, I know, I am a pusher.
Yesterday I was totally incognito, curly hair, no makeup and tennis shoes, I know, right! So unlike me, however today, since I will be around people that I know and some I don’t know, it will be straight hair, full makeup and heels. Must have armor on, must not show chinks in armor.
Welcome to the Month of Angie
So now that Elizabeth’s birthday is over we can all focus on mine, last years was not the best I have ever had, for multiple reasons, I am hoping this year is vastly different.
I have often said the whole month of February should be declared Angie month, perhaps I should issue a decree and rename the month to honor, well, me. In all the land there would be celebrations, food, dancing, disco balls and lots of coffee for everyone! Wow, sounds just about perfect. Oh, and new shoes for all, there, that makes it perfection.
What would you have for your celebratory month? I sometimes wonder what other people do to celebrate themselves. I do believe we should all celebrate who we are, unless you are a bad person, the list of what makes one bad is long, so I wont do that here, but you know who you are. I could name a lot of the women that I know of that do not deserve anything in the realm of celebratory anything, but I wont. You know who you are, and you know you should just go hide in a basement and wait for the apocalypse.
Speaking of apocalypse, did anyone see Ringer? Buffy came out to play in the last episode! So good to see Sarah Michelle Gellar kicking behind! Oh how I miss Buffy, Angel, Cordy and well the whole Scooby gang.
Must go, just wanted to pop in and say hello, like Punxsutawney Phil. Let’s all lift our glasses to six more weeks of winter!
Happy Birthday Elizabeth Anne
Well today is the day, the day that marks the 23rd anniversary of the day I gave birth to the most amazing daughter a mother could ever ask for. I want to tell you all a little bit about Elizabeth Anne, see before she was born I prayed for her, I was specific in my prayer about the kind of daughter I wanted. I asked God for a daughter who was strong, independent, funny, intelligent, articulate and beautiful. Well, ask and ye shall receive, I did receive that and more, not only did God give me such a daughter, he gave me her during my birthday month and he brought ice and snow along with her. The minute I laid eyes on her I knew that my prayers were answered, she came out not crying, but alert and already taking in the world around her.
I knew in my mind the way she should look, long dark hair and big dark eyes, well, I got that as well. Elizabeth is an amazing person; never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that God would have answered my prayers so specifically.
Let me tell you a little about my daughter, on this day, her birthday, she simply rocks. She owns her own farm and has cattle. Not only does she have these cattle, she works with them, they know her, they obey her. She is a tiny little thing, yet these enormous beasts do whatever she wants them to do. She has a real heart for animals, they all seem to love her, and she takes in strays and finds homes for them. I think they all sense in her that she will not harm them and will nurse them back to health and find them a good loving home. Did I mention she holds down a job as well? She has done very well in her job, taking a class and passing a difficult test to move up. She works hard at everything she does, I have no words to express how proud of her I am.
She is personality plus, she has a unique way of looking at the world, she sees people for who they are and can tell you in a matter of moments whether or not she likes that person. I think she gets that from me. I have to take some credit here.
I could not ask for a more perfect daughter, as I already asked for her and got her, God was truly listening to not only my words when he formed her, but my heart.
Happy Birthday Elizabeth, please know that you are everything I ever wanted in a daughter and more, you are beautiful, smart, funny and amazing, I hope your special day is as amazing as you are.
I love you,
Mom
