The BIG 35 has arrived...

Okay so on Thursday, February 12, 2009, I turned the BIG 35! And you know something, the 35 wasn't the problem, the number did NOT make me feel old, but what did make me feel old was the fact that my oldest nephew Taylor is 18 and graduating from High School this year. That makes me feel OLD!

But anyhoot, my birthday started off GREAT, my brother Wayne, Carolyn, Casey and Nicole gave me a gift card to Starbucks (my favorite coffee store), and lottery tickets. When I scratched them off I won a total of $103.00 YEAH for me! One of the best presents one could hope for. Thank you again!
My co-workers decorated a little, gave me a really nice card and they got me a huge Carvel cake, so exciting. My friends at work really made me feel special. Carla, Kelly and Tracy took me out to lunch as well. THANK YOU LADIES!!!!

Next -- Mom and Dad came by, also bought me a little Carvel cake Yummie!!! and my gift, something I have wanted for a really really long time...


Yes, my cast iron pot with cermic inlay. So excited, I seasoned the edges this past weekend, gonna cook in it this coming weekend. I can't WAIT! Now all I need is the big frying pan to go with... hint hint!

Awards Day!

Friday, February 13th was Awards Day at Shadybrook Elementary, and YES once again McKinlee received an award. His award for this quarter was for Outstanding Student in Music.



YES, they spelt his name wrong. I'm not exactly sure which school the creative one graduated from but apparently reading was not their best subject.
