birthday

so tomorrow is my birthday or in the case this year has been going on the whole week. everyone can't make it on that day so i have been taken out for lunch and dinners for the week. so much for a diet, but then again eating yogurt for a diet might not be the best thing either.
i just finished the fourth shirt that i am cutting up to make that quilt i am working on. i hope that i can get all of the squares cut out in time for school. i still have to decide what fabric i want to use for the back and around the blocks. probably blue because that was his favorite color. mine too.
i missed my morning swim because my phone turned off last night and i didn't get my alarm to get up. oh well, i made it 5 days this week. not bad for a first week. i  just hope that the newness of the swim pass doesn't wear off and i continue to go. hopefully if i am faithful  in walking that way i can lose some weight.
better go for today, hope everyone has a good day.

Happy birthday!!!!

I love walking with my dog every day. We go downtown (only 6 blocks away) and also into some of the residential areas (where I live). It is pleasant and there is always something new to be seen as I change the directions every time. Sometimes we walk to a local bakery where, after 1:30 every day, much of the daily stuff that they make is half off. I get nice rolls, breads, pastries and such their stuff is so yummy. I only go there once each month or I would be a real porker! Well, I weigh 136 and am 5 10. I am actually about 20 lbs underweight. I guess it would not hurt to eat more; however, I am also controlling my diabetes with perfect glucose numbers every day and can\'t eat all that much carbs anyway. So, I splurge once a month for a few things that I spread out over the rest of the week (half of a thing each day, so I only get 3 things altogether).

I hope your meals are good ones as well. I hope to go out this month, if I save some of the money I have, and to get a steak dinner somewhere.

You will have to look at the overall colors of those shirts to see if blue will really work. You may want to get samples of a few shades to \"test\" it out. I hope that you will post a pic of the quilt when it is done as I would love to see it.

Take good care. Hug.

thanks for wishing me a happy birthday. it has been a great day actually the whole week with what i hear my mother still wants to have a party for me when she gets home on Wednesday . so i think this one is the most drug out one for sure. earlier in the week

i had a friend take me for mexican food and she brought a small gift bag tipping off the place that there was a birthday so i got sung to by the restaurant employees. then today i went out with a friend and she tipped off the waiter that it was my birthday while i wasn\'t at the table and what ya know? i got sung to again.

i am now watching my grand kids even though their dad doesn\'t work today, but this is my choice today. thanks again for the warm gift from your heart.
