A Special Birthday Gift

My son has a strong mind and a caring soul. His teacher once told me that she could see him being the next Bill Gates. His caring soul came shining through yesterday when he opened his hand to show me one of his soccer medals. "For your birthday, mom". My heart melted.

Another Trip Around The Sun

I'm not big on celebrating my own birthday but I do love the little treats that come with it -- birthday wishes, sushi lunch with my dear husband, a gorgeous bouquet of my favourite flower from a wonderful little flower shop called Violet Blooms and a little something from Starbucks. It has been a lovely day!

Spasm City

I don't know if this is an MS thing or if my face is bored and has decided to dance to its own beat but I'm having some serious eye spasms over here. It's like pop rock central (loved that candy as a kid)!

You know the Cadbury commercial (which I love) where the kids are on the couch waiting for their picture to be taken and then suddenly their eyebrows start to bust a move? I think I could totally be the stunt double for one of those kids right about now, no editing required.

enjoying a glass of Ogio Pinot Grigio.

Contigo Travel Mug

I've been on the hunt for a new travel mug. I do have one, not a very good one, but I have one. It magically appeared in my kitchen cupboard one day. I honestly have no clue where the mug came from. I think it might have been a work gift or at least I think it was a work gift. It's functional but it has seen its day. So on the hunt I have been for a new travel mug for when I have to stand waiting for Luke's bus in the freezing cold, oh joy! I scored these Contigo Travel Mugs from Costco the other day -- two for $22! Instead of a flip top or a piece to slide open there is a button you press to open the spout just before you take a sip and then release to close it again. So far the mug has been good to me. No spills and my coffee has stayed nice and warm. Hmmm, maybe I should use them while I'm at home too to avoid reheating my coffee umpteen times (yuck, I know, but it's faster than making a new cup).

I am...

catching up on all of your wonderful blogs!

The Sweetness Of Snail Mail

I had to run some errands today and on my way back I stopped at the mailbox. Mixed in with the junk and bills was this beautifully decorated envelope from my dear friend Sheba -- a wonderful birthday treat that I promise I won't open until the day comes! I can't wait!

I am...

enjoying 365 Fashion Rehab. I get a thrill out of finding unique and fun blogs. I found this one last week as I was reading the newspaper I had brought with me on our recent trip.
