Five For Friday: Things Imma Do To Celebrate My Birthday

Happy birthday to me! Today I turn a year older than I was this time last year. Okay, fine. A word problem: If a train leaves a depot traveling east at 65 miles per hour and a bus leaves the station traveling north at 88 miles per hour and a cat delivers six kittens on the third of August and I was born in 1970 and twenty-three campers pitch four tents six yards from a river traveling at 18 knots, how old am I?  (There is no prize for getting it right.)

Here are five things I'm going to do today to celebrate my birthday:

What's Not On Pintrest

Daughter 2 asked for an ice cream sundae party for her birthday, so I did what every loving and caring mother would do: I went to Pintrest and built this party up to Inaugural proportions in my mind. Without much effort I was able to find a Pin that shared the cutest idea for an ice cream sundae party. This particular mom got crystal goblets and had each party go-ers name painted on each goblet. Then she special ordered a spoon and had each party go-ers initial engraved on each spoon. She had linen napkins in the guest of honor's favorite color (pink) and had dozens of toppings ranging from fresh strawberries and kiwis to chocolate covered cherries and Jordan almonds. She and her husband dressed like old fashioned soda jerks and served all the future socialites from behind their crete-papered wet bar.
