Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes over on "the facebook." I was absolutely thrilled to receive so many birthday wishes!  Thank you, everyone, who took the time to send a fun greeting. I had a great day and yes, it started with the most perfect breakfast food, ice cream cake.

It was awesome.

But the best part of the day was that I met by friend for lunch and it was the best birthday treat ever. She always encourages me and reminds me of my successes. My lunch with her was the best gift ever.

And the sun shined. That was just what I needed.

And then my favorite chef posted a picture of my favorite life-changing meal.... and then acknowledged my comment on the facebook. I'm sure it was his marketing staff but I still went all fangirl over it. Whoot!

So I would say that this has been a very successful birthday.

I was going to head into civilization to buy The Most Expensive Cheese Knife In The History of the World... but then I remembered that the entire free world would be swarming the shopping centers. So that is going to have to wait until next week. But seriously, why is this $34? I need to have it. You know I take cutting the cheese very seriously.

Anyway, what was my birthday wish? For more homegrown pork and creepy meats for everyone!

Happy Friday everyone - thank you so much for making my birthday very happy.
