Birthday Celebration and Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

I had a wonderful weekend, my hubby and son took very good care of me and made my birthday a special one :) Today I'm still celebrating at The Story Board, if you'd like to come on by!

Tonight, when hubby comes home from work, we'll be celebrating his Canadian Thanksgiving - since sweetie is Canadian. It's actually kind of nice to celebrate Thanksgiving twice a year - I get double the excuse to go off the diet and feast! So, to all the Canadians - HAPPY THANKSIVING!!!!

And if you think that is enough partying - we are celebrating our one year wedding anniversary on Tuesday. It's been a lot of fun and all this extra eating means more trips to the gym! lol

Question of the day?
Speaking of birthdays, who is going to help me blow out these birthday candles?

Hubby and I went to see the movie The Departed, which believe it or not, was really good. I don't usually like mobster movies, but for whatever reason, it appealed to me. The acting was great and I was left guessing all the way to the end - a rarity in movies these days I find. Afterwards we went to our favorite wine bar, had a glass of Pinot, and listened to a jazz band. Sweetie then treated me to a nice breakfast, lunch, and dinner on my birthday - along with a birthday cake! I got some lovely gifts, but my favorite is always the cards - I love cards. My son wrote me the sweetest poem - it brought me to tears. I'm such a sap, lol
