Last week was a doozy for Nate. He was hardly home. But, I knew it was coming, so I made plans to keep my birthday fun.

In the morning, before Nate went to work, I opened some very nice gifts. Guitar pedals, a recording mic, cables and stuff.

The boys and I met Nate for lunch at Fatburger. (I should have taken pictures).

I went to the store and bought a lemon cake mix so that when the girls came home from school, they could make my birthday cake. They were very excited. (I should have taken pictures). And they did a great job, except for adding 1/4 cup of water instead of 1 1/4 cups of water. But we fixed that before it went into the oven.

They made a simple dinner for themselves so I didn’t have to cook.

They sang to me. Liv took pictures of that part.

And I took a picture of them.

I got them in bed promptly at 8, and some girlfriends came over to eat indian take-out and watch Jab We Met, one of my favorite Bollywood movies. Then we stayed up talking ’til 1am.

Which meant I was half dead all of Friday. But it was a good time. And they brought me chocolate and flowers.

Yay! And I’m now half-way to 70! That’s so weird.
