The Day of my Birthday
Today was my birthday and it was a pretty good day. First off the wife let me sleep in which is always a plus. Then my wife, daughter, and I went out to a lovely lunch and afterwards our daughter went down for her nap. Afterwards we all went out for some pizza for dinner, and then we dropped our daughter off with a friend and went to the movies. It was an enjoyable movie and after, we picked up our daughter and drove on home. All in all I would say it was definitely a very productive and successful birthday.
My day began, as it always does, with breakfast in bed, made by my husband. Cantaloupes are in season, so I had half of one at breakfast. Since it was Saturday, for the most part I had it free. That is, I let myself have a break from the extensive to do list I have most days.
After breakfast, we went downstairs to the living room and do what we almost always do, which is to drink coffee and play some music. I play guitar and he plays banjo. Although he is a self-taught by ear musician (I am classically trained), he really likes using the metronome, so we always use that for certain tunes we play. We do a lot of banjo instrumentals and some gospel songs.
I did help load up the truck and I took the truckload of furniture to a shop that sells the furniture my husband makes. Also I stopped at a computer store and got a free flash drive and went to a store to get some hamburgers for a reunion we are going to tomorrow.
It was about 4:30 in the afternoon when I got home, so that meant I had lots of time to relax, play some computer games, enjoy my cats, and watch television, and so forth. I had a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich for dinner. We have home grown tomatoes in the backyard right now so I am taking advantage of them. BLT sandwiches don’t taste good unless they have real home grown tomatoes.
We somehow messed up the converter box on our television when we were attempting to do something with the VCR and DVD player, so we ended up watching excerpts from the Red Green Show on Youtube, which was a lot of fun.
