Blast Off!! Happy Birthday to Me

Oh yeah.

55 and still alive
55 and all that jive
got the drive at 55

Now I can start getting a few of those cool senior citizen discounts.

30% at AMC theaters  (there are none in Wilmington)
10% at Chili's (but I don't eat out)
10% at some Hotels (I don't travel)
10% at Ross (I can never find anything I like and that fits)
10% at Wendy's (fast food, yuck)

Well Crap.  Never mind.

60's.  Come on 60.

Anyway, I had a pretty good birthday.  Jim got me a wine press and Gmar gave me 100 bucks.

I did have one dilemma.  On your birthday, Silver Coast winery gives 30% off on a case, but they don't open til 11 and close at 6 and are 1.5 hours away.  We start bridge at 1 pm and end at 4:30, then groceries.  So the logistics just didn't work out.  Oh well.  I'm going tomorrow to get my quarterly offering anyway.

I took my walkies early this morning when it was 61 degrees.  I think I can do this.  The dogs were eager, but Buddy got too excited and had a little seizure.  I did some tinkering with the vereigated bay tree.  I don't think any of the cuttings are going to make it, so I found a branch low down that was vereigated.  So I nicked it a little, buried it and weighed it down with a log to keep it buried.  Maybe it will put out roots in about 6 months.  We'll see.
Maybe, some day, a tree.

I took the last of my dried soy beans and made more tofu.  I haven't done that in a while.

And I learned something new with the blog.  Movies!

so, for the first time ever, now playing, Farmer Ann's Cockers.

  1. Yay! Baybays!

    I feel your dilemma on the age thing. I'm only looking forward to this one because it means that my insurance will go down. And I can rent cars cheaply.

    Oh well.

  2. Happy Birthday! I've been wondering what "T" day was. I don't really celebrate my birthday anymore, unless I need an excuse to buy something for myself, then I tell my hubby about it.

  3. I think I will only do 5 year birthdays from now on. Just for the discounts I can add.
