Monday This and That

Another week begins.  Good Monday morning.  Had a busy weekend starting on Friday when I went to the bead show in Manhattan.  Oh my gosh.  As you can see, I was like a kid in a candy store.  Spent way more than I had planned, but I had no willpower.

Had an awful ride there and back though.  On the ride in there were four of us all squeezed into a little cab...and all the way in we in the back seat were not only so cramped we couldn't move, but felt something hitting our back the entire way. Going home should have been better as one of us left early and took the subway, but the cab driver said we had to cram into the back seat because he had someone else to pick up. Grrr!!!! What if our friend hadn't left early? What then? The fact is Access-a-ride did not send the proper size vehicle for going there and overbooked on the way home. Never again....at least not in Access-a-ride.

My loot from Friday.  Don't know where to begin.

Woke up Saturday, my birthday, with pain all through my body.  Not a part of me didn't ache.  Yup, I turned 72 years old this weekend.  I'm getting to be a real oldster...and my body is letting me know.  Can't do all the things I did in my youth.  

My daughter gave me this lovely necklace.  My son had sent me $50 to spend at the bead show.  And hubby gave me money.  Of course, I had expected the money so I spent it before I even got it so this will all go to the bills. 

On Sunday hubby took me to Olive Garden, and I pigged out.  Hey, we only get one birthday a year so might as well make the best of it.  Have 363 days now til my next one. 

And delicious cake with a birthday song.  What more can a gal ask for?
