Saturday was my birthday and I sure was spoiled.
It all started Friday night when Shane stood behind me while I was editing a batch of photos. 30 minutes later photoshop was still frozen with the one picture I had opened, and the conversation went something like this:
Shane: Does it always take this long?
me: yep (As I close the prompt telling me that my virtual memory is full)
Shane: We just need to get a new tower
me: yep
Shane: Well, let's go.
me: Go where?
Shane: To Best Buy (can't you hear the hallalujah chorus!)
me: SERIOUSLY!
And now it has taken me all of 5 minutes to post this entry with the lightening speed of this:
On Saturday, we practiced the primary program at the church, and the kids were amazing. They were reverent and they sang their little hearts out.
Next, we played volleyball at the church with our neighbors, Cindy and Kevin. The 2 on 2 volleys were amazing. Well. . . at least the one volley was amazing. Who are we kidding. . . we didn't even have a volley, but we sure laughed a lot! 
And then, as if that wasn't way more than enough, this sweet man, with the help of a work bonus, took me to:
where we proceeded to eat ourselves into a butter and cream induced coma. We ate:
the most heavenly crab cakes in the world. . . mostly crab and very little cake.Followed by creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, steak, salmon, roasted tomatoes, sourdough bread and the GRAND FINALE:
May I please have a moment of silence for the . . . creme brulee.
Now just let me tell you that you do not even NEED to drink wine while you dine here, because after eating this kind of a meal, you FEEL like you are on drugs. Do people really eat this way on a regular basis? How can I go back to tuna casserole, peanut butter sandwiches and tortilla soup? Wait, I know, I'll just remember that once, on my birthday, I ate enough fat and calories to sustain life for a whole month. That ought to do it. (It was SOOOO worth it!)
To top this all off, I had several birthday messages in my email box, in the mailbox and on the answering machine when I got home. Thanks everybody!
