Happy Birthday to Me!


Tra-la! I'm now thirty-eight! Yikes! That's getting really close to forty. Here is a pic of me in my birthday suit (the only one anyone would be willing to view, besides Tim!) It was my present from Tim and the boys.


But oh well, in the words of my fave coffee mug, "I'd worry about getting older if I weren't still so darn CUTE!" So there.


To celebrate (yesterday, the actual day) Tim's mom took all three boys for the day, and my friend Kathy and I trekked out to a very chi-chi part of town to tiptoe through the tulips at the Northville Garden Walk. (cue the Tiny Tim ukelele bit) We went through some truly amazing specimens of horticultural artistry, then went to lunch at a cool cafe in downtown Northville called Edward's. I had an awesome sammich with Havarti cheese, caramelized balsamic onions, tomatoes, and basil, along with tomato-basil soup. I enjoyed it so much I am attempting to recreate it at home today for dinner. The boys are gone with friends to their cottage, so we can have grown-up vittles. It is supposed to be vegetarian, but the Havarti cheese makes it not vegan. Bummer. I'm trying.

Re: your question about footwear on The Underwear Drawer - I think Danskos are the worlds most comfortable shoes for work (http://www.dansko.com/html/detail.aspx?type=2&shoe=Professional). They do come in white. I'm a resident and wear them (one of the 3 pairs I own) daily. I wish you well in nursing school!
