First, a disclaimer: I did not drink too much at yesterday’s birthday celebration. Are you kidding? I had a glass of champagne and a half a glass of Moscato.
I may be old but I am not a lightweight.
Still. I feel hungover.
Like, it was all really fun and I’m not ready to be done.
You can relate, I think? It’s that let-down feeling that you get the day after…when the guests have all gone and the wrapping paper’s been pitched and the Facebook comments have all stopped coming…and you’re like, really? Is that all there is?
I want more.
Well, of course that’s our old human heart talking… ‘cause we are made for so much more. One day every day will be a party…and on that eternal day, the feasting won’t stop.
I’ve tons to talk & blog about after this weekend, having packed it in over the course of three days—a trip to Cahill School for the kids on Friday, an American Heritage Girl ceremony on Saturday afternoon, an awesome & AMAZING Lifeline Mass on Saturday night..
So much to talk about (!) and yet, I’m SORRY.
It’ll all just have to wait.
(I’m a homeschooling mom, you see, and these kids of mine are expecting me to teach.)
(Or maybe not. They might like it if I didn’t.)
For today though, I leave you with a complimentary theme song:
For today…and for forever.
I had a glass of Moscato last night. I was celebrating with you. 🙂
PS A's expression is exactly the same as yours in the picture. Too cute. And that's a lovely cake.
Oh Barbara, the cake was so good. It was made by my friend Ruth Ann (NiNi's godmother).
Happy belated Birthday Margaret! I wasn't able to post last night but wanted to thank you for the refreshing perspective on the ripples of life! Enjoy 45 plus one day! I hope that there is some extra cake for you!
I don't even know what Moscato is
So glad you had a great weekend!!
A glass of Moscato, a yummy cake and surrounded by love….
Yep, a good birthday indeed!
Happy the day after Birthday eh! 😉
Hmmmm I think I would be making a certain son vaccuum the whole house for the fire extingisher making it into the picture 😀
Happy Birthday plus one! I LOVE that song. Ria introduced it to us this summer. 🙂
