What a great day!

~Today was crazy busy all day long, but it has been a fantastic birthday, complete with cards, good wishes, remembrances from my kids, a nice phone call from friends, being sung to (twice) and birthday cake. It's been a long time since I had such a fun birthday. Thanks, everyone, for all the good wishes!

~And all that macaroni and cheese? Got eaten. Well, all but a little bit. We had a wonderful Advent dinner, with about 40 in attendance, and we had a greatl time decorating our Jesse tree and celebrating the feast of Saint Nicholas (a bit early), complete with oranges and chocolates left in our shoes.

~I'm really glad tomorrow is my day off--and I do intend to be OFF. Saturday is our big holiday extravaganza at church, but tomorrow I'm trying to stay out of the way--except maybe to do a little early shopping, because they do have some lovely things. And I need to get organized for Christmas--still in a bit of denial that it's only three weeks away!

Well, belated HB... hope you can retain the memory of it for a while. I send greetings from House of the Redeemer -- I am down here for the SCAIJPC meeting. Too bad I have absolutely no free time to go down to Chelsea. When the meeting ends, it's back to the train and the north. Anyway, saludos.

Happy birthday! I'm glad it's been such a great day.

It sounds wonderful!
(And I'm in a bit of that same denial myself.)
