Birthdays have always been fun for me--especially when I was younger. But these last few years, I've dreaded getting older. It all happened when I turned 30 a few years ago. All the older people in my church still think I'm in my twenties (yeah) and younger than my husband. (He's actually three years younger!). I guess it's all in the mind, right? Well, I had a great birthday today. I received telephone calls and cards from family, well-wishers at work today, and my husband surprised me with some special things.
We knew that today was going to be really busy for me, so we planned to have a special lunch. I had Bible study this morning, dress rehearsal for my concert this afternoon, and youth group tonight. We had about an hour in-between all of that for lunch. I didn't know where we were going until we pulled up to The Egg and I. It is one of my favorite eating places in town.
I had to go with my favorite dish--stuffed french toast with ranch potatoes. Yum! Inside the two slices of bread are eggs, cheese and sausage.
On our way to school, Q bought me a green tea frappuccino--my absolute favorite drink ever! It is such a treat, since we don't go to Starbuck's that often. I wish there was a way for me to make this at home. Do any of you have a recipe for this?
The dress rehearsal went well today. My choirs are singing tomorrow night for the spring concert. Afterwards, we're having some friends over for a fun birthday celebration. It will be lots of fun!
Thank you, Lord, for another year of life!

Happy Belated Birthday! Sounds like a fun and special day. I'll have to try that green tea frappuccino from Starbucks. I have never heard of that. (-: Love the red stoneware.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I had a great day.:) Oh and Tania--once you try the frappuccino, you'll get hooked!:) It's about the only thing I order when we go to Starbuck's.
Happy Birthday Theo!
Thanks, Randy. I saw on your blog that Judy's birthday is coming up. I'm sure you're working on some surprises for her, eh? Husbands are good at things like that! Q never ceases to amaze me with the gifts he comes up with; I never guess right! Have a good weekend.
