I've never understood why some people hate their birthday so much. I'm a birthday freak. I'll be 50 and still looking forward to my birthday.
I took today and tomorrow off work. Today's plan is vegging and baking (well, and mailing the rent check, LOL). I have an awesome chocolate chip cookie recipe shared by my friend Sherri that I'll make (seriously the BEST CC cookies I've EVER had), I'll probably make some crack muffins, and I got an idea while looking through the pantry this morning. We have an unopened (!) jar of Nutella. I think I may try to make Nutella chocolate chip cookies - it'll be my little experiment for the day. Basic peanut butter cookie recipe from The Joy of Cooking (anniversary gift from Dave & Heather), substitute Nutella for the peanut butter, add chocolate chips. I'll let you know how it goes. I may also make some crack muffins.
I'm undecided on dinner. There's a German restaurant I've always wanted to try, but the little voice in the back of my head reminded me that our Entertainment Book includes a BOGO coupon for a nice local restaurant that I love, one that we can't afford without the BOGO. And it expires next month.
After dinner will be karaoke night at a local bar, the bar where you drink free all night if it's your birthday (Kim & Spyros, if you've got the time and need a break from house stuff, come on down - it's Spurz).
My gift from my awesome, wonderful husband was the 3-volume set of Good Eats DVDs! Yay! This is especially touching, considering the fact that we'd never be able to afford it as an impuse buy, which means he saved his pennies for quite a while - and even more especially considering that I'm the financier in the house and it's not easy to squirrel away that amount of money without me knowing about it, so it probably took him at least 4 months (possibly more).
But for now, I'll sit around in my slippers and some snuggily warm knit clothing and surf the 'net to my heart's content.
Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war! And, O you mortal engines, whose rude throats The immortal Jove's dread clamours counterfeit, Farewell! Othello's occupation's gone! vinnie This is the third time; I hope good luck lies in odd numbers.... There is divinity in odd numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death.

Unceasing warfare gives rise to its own social conditions which have been
similar in all epochs. People enter a permanent state of alertness to ward
off attacks. You seethe absolute rule of the autocrat. All new things become
dangerous frontier districts-new planets, new economic areas to exploit, new
ideas or new devices, visitors-everything suspect. Feudalism takes firm hold,
sometimes disguised as a politbureau or similar structure, but always present.
Hereditary succession follows the lines of power. The blood of the powerful
dominates. The vice regents of heaven or their equivalent apportion the wealth.
And their know they must control inheritance or slowly let the power melt away.

exactly the first tiny dot of color, and then the next and the
next, you would end with a perfect copy of the whole,
indistinguishable from the original in every way, including
the so-called "moral value" of the art itself. Nothing can
transcend its smallest elements.
