monday monologue

last week 
I became another year older 
I didnt want to celebrate 
I wanted the day to pass quietly 
like the
 'just another day'
 that it was 
but 
Toonman 
had other ideas
 first he made me a birthday toon
 then he baked me a cake 
a tradition in this marriage 

he knows how I love cold cake 
he put it in the fridge overnight


delish

my weekend plans 
multiplied 
from 
'just' the monthly massage 
weekend mani/pedi 
a 'possible depends on the weather'
coffee or brunch with my friend Wendy 
when 
I got an message from my friend Mary 
she was sending me a gift
from Paris!

 it turned out to be my friend (and former blogger) 
Steve T Paris 
here on a weekend getaway 

Saturday we lunched at Recipe
