Birthday!

Another year older. I think I am going to stop having birthdays. *sigh* In any event, I had a great day. Ben was going to buy me a birthday cake, but the little boys wanted to help me make a cake, so we made the cake. A few years ago, the ladies Ben works with caught wind that I had made my own birthday cake, and they have never let him live this down. I really don't mind making my own cake. It certainly tastes better than a store-bought one. Anyway, the boys really did help...even tried cracking the eggs and everything. They loved it! So it was a treat for me to make it with them.




Ben also made dinner for me. He made a spaghetti with alfredo sauce (from a jar, but it was yummy), with ground turkey and garlic bread. Quite impressive. I had to give him the menu, though. After dinner, I watched Young Guns which I had recorded on TV. It was a blast from the past!! Made me feel old. Then I got my birthday present, pictured below. It is a GPS running watch by Garmin. I already love it. I have an account on their website that uploads my workouts and calculates things like elevation change, calories burned, pace, etc. It is awesome. And the best thing is it is so much smaller than Ben's Garmin.



Next up is Ben's birthday...tomorrow, in fact. I love having out birthdays a week apart. :)
