birthday wishes.

thank you SOOOO much to everyone's outpouring of birthday wishes for me yesterday. i had quite a frustrating day/week with work coupled with/by malfunctioning pieces of technology i operate daily. (aka: blackberry, laptop AND home computer. sigh. all things easily taken for granted!!)

the well wishes and happy sentiments were much appreciated & enjoyed in my extremely hormonal, crazed state of mind. and special thanks to my hubby for sparing a few hours with me yesterday when our schedules actually aligned to keep me calm & sane.

here are just a few of the FUN eCards I received from thoughtful friends :)




29 is fun so far, but next up - the BIG dirty thirty. double sigh.

happy birthday lucy.

one of the LOVES in my life has a big ole' birthday today. we'll be celebrating pretty low key this year. no hats or dressing up but we'll be sure to shower her with presents, Frosty Paws and even more love than she gets every other day of the year. these are just a handful of things we can do to celebrate our appreciation of her never-ending love & loyalty!

happy bday hubby.

my hubby has a birthday today!! i wanted to make him a special bday dinner however he got roped into working a night shift. (boo) so we scooted out to a late lunch in between meetings @ the Gate House Cafe in Village Gate.


i've been there a few times for lunch. they have really YUMMY wood fired pizzas and gourmet burgers. it was no surprise (to me atleast) the birthday boy picked a burger with bacon and blue cheese. topped with pesto mayo... YUM. i got a pizza and will be enjoying the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. double YUM.



happy birthday mcallister!!

chicken wing birthday

happy birthday carol! congrats on trying your first chicken wing & being such a good sport to put the Anchor Bar's chicken hat on.

ps - that's right. the Anchor Bar, famous for the 'very first chicken wings' opened here in Rochester. like a block away from my work. YUMMMMM.

Last weekend, we celebrated Justine's 20th bday with a luau-style party! It was filled with SUNSHINE, family, friends, water balloons, a pinata, some grass skirts, great food and good times.

Pics can be found here!

happy 20th bday justine.

birthdays.

Sorry I haven't been posting daily, I've been sicker than a dog.

And speaking of dogs, we have one that turned THREE yesterday. That's right - our own little Lucy turned 3 years old. It's hard to believe!!

What did we do to celebrate you ask? She picked out a new toy at Petco and then we got doggie cake/ice cream and took her to visit and share her treats with her friend Murrel. Happi Day!
