This is What 45 Looks Like

I met JB in 1983, once we decided to join our families and move in together I have packed his lunch everyday that he has gone to work. With the exception of attending a seminar one year, I haven't missed a day.

Wednesday morning started like all the others. I picked up the dog bowls, took them into the garage and grabbed the V8 for his lunch. When I opened his lunchbox - this is what I saw. Yes, that is a birthday card and a jewelry box behind it.

Inside that little burgundy box was a lovely pair of pearl studs. Perfect! Along with a beautiful, sappy card. How cute that it was in his lunch box so I wouldn't miss it. Then I made my way into work. The landlord came over with a funny birthday card and the candy jar full of Lindt truffles. The good news I don't like truffles - so these will be finding a new home somewhere. But doesn't the jar look pretty?

After that, my co-worker came in with a bag full of goodies. Lotion, note pads, and treats - pumpkin coffee creamer, Cheerios mix. All my favorite goodies. Then I had to sit in on a long boring meeting. When I got back to my desk JD2 had left the beautiful blooming cactus on my desk.

After work, I came home and JB and I walked the big dogs then we went out to dinner. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant. I had the same thing I always have - Enchiladas Suiza (green sauce). Then we went to the mall and I got the bracelet that matches the rest of the pearls. Thursday, was back at work. I had a long to-do list and got busy. We had our weekly office meeting scheduled for 1:00. Everyone was there. I was gifted a barking birthday card as well as fabulous goodies. My Boss stopped at Great Yarns and emptied my hold bin, there was a gift certificate for Great Yarns and another for Hancocks. After all that The Musical One took JB and I to Olive Garden for a joint birthday celebration. So, for a birthday that was hitting hard, it's been remarkably easy. However, I will be glad for JB's birthday tomorrow so life can get back to normal, regularly schedule cooking, crafting time, normal.
