Happy Birthday Mom
Happy birthday Mom. Yes, it is my mother's birthday today. I am waiting for dinner which was the main reason why I posted today. I did not watch the Superbowl today because I was preoccupied with other things like presents, and spending time with Mom. I am now speechless about what I want to say now that I am typing on my computer. I'm having a sinus headache that due to other things may also be stress related. Simply speaking, there are some problems within my extended family, but today is my mother's birthday and I want to focus on positive things today. I want to forget that my grandmother isn't home tonight. I want to not go into detail about my aunt from India's phone call while I was blogging earlier.
I have just overheard that we (the four of us plus my visiting grand-aunt & my grandmother) will go downtown another night to have the birthday dinner. Now if I could write something positive about my day. I spent my morning and early afternoon elsewhere due to a pre-arranged training session. I didn't get home until after 4 p.m. after my sister, my dad, and I picked up my mom's ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. This year we decided to save money are give birthday cards from two senders instead of one sender each. My dad and sister gave a card which co-incidentally matched the birthday cake. I brought the card from my grandmother and myself a day before them. I always look for humourous cards, and prefer the joke over the other card's little message.
My card's message:
(FRONT COVER - DRAWING OF RED SPORTS CAR IN MOTION)
"I was going to GIVE YOU a Sports Car,"
(DRAWING OF WAVES, A PALM TREE, & SUN)
"a TRIP to Hawaii,"
(DRAWING TWO DOLLAR BILLS)
"and $500 in CASH for YOUR BIRTHDAY."
(INSIDE CARD)
"... but every bottle cap
I checked said,
'sorry, play again.'"
(DOUBLE SPACE)
"Oh well ...
Happy Birthday, Anyway."
(BACK COVER - DRAWING OF A GOLD RING/CIRCULAR OBJECT WITH HAPPY BIRTHDAY WRITTEN ON IT)
Our dinner plans have been finalized for this evening. My dad would like to have leftovers, while the other three of us have phoned in an take-out order at White Spot. All three of us are having our favourite items from their express menu - my sister is having English-style fish and chips combo. My mom will be having a Monty Mushroom burger and fries, and I'll enjoy a B.C. burger combo. My sister and I are substituting our soft drinks for milkshakes (chocolate and butterscotch respectively). My favourite White Spot milkshake isn't on their take out menu but I'll settle for butterscotch.
