Birthday Frolics

By -
My birthday was perfect. Mellow and relaxing, yet fun and friendly. I spent the day doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that. A trip to my favorite part of Minneapolis, Linden Hills. A giant cookie at Turtle Bread Bakery and a walk around the neighborhood.

Back home in time for dinner at my favorite restaurant Babanis.
Babani's serves Kurdish food, it's really really delicious! The bread! Oh the Bread!
I had dinner with 3 of my besties... Shannon, Ellen & Kelly AKA, Tweaker, Nellen and Bangs.
During the course of our meal my phone wouldn't stop ringing, of course it was Heather of the EO. And after the 10th time she called (okay second time) I answered to find her and Kate wondering what I was up to. They were in St. Paul, we were in St. Paul. Perfect!
We finished our dinner, made a quick stop at Candy Land... and no I did not get stuck in the Molasses Swamp (that was courtesy of the smartest person I've ever worked with).
The gangs collided at Fabulous Ferns and we had Fabulous fun!




I even shot some deer with my shotgun! Bang Bang!


Thanks for the many many many many well wishes on my birthday. My phone, inbox, comments and Facebook were blowing up with greetings.

Sunday I also had a lovely birthday lunch with my family. We not only celebrated my birthday but Kyle getting his LMFT and Chris and Jen's engagement! A new crazy person to add to the mix! Go Robideaus!

P.S. Sorry I ditched your party Nori! Fake Aunt Sabro still loves you sugar!

Oh my goodness! All of my most favorite bloggers gathered in a bar. What fun! I'll just imagine my head floating around in the background of a photo or two. That should keep me happy for a while. :)

PS: If anyone can rock the embroidered dress and bring it back into fashion, it is you. Hands down!

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts.

Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW !

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
