Happy Birthday Lou

Today was L's 69th birthday. The phone rang ALL DAY long. She seemed to be thrilled even though she claimed it was just another day.

I rolled out of bed around 11am. I moved real slow too. I was so tired yesterday. As soon as I closed my laptop last night, it was over. I don't remember if I got my prayers out my mouth good. I apologized this morning to the Lord just in case last night's prayer was a little fuzzy. Back to this morning... I took a long shower, tweazed the brows, did all that girl stuff to make sure that I keep up my appearance. And then to the books I went. I did that until around something after 4 and then I decided to go with L to her daughter's house for her birthday dinner. I wasn't going to go, but was upset at the idea that I might spend the ENTIRE day behind closed doors. Plus... it's L's birthday!!! Let's go!!

We had a pretty good time at Sam's house. I stuffed my face of course. Hmmmm... nothing like fried chicken!!! They gave L's wet cards (I'll explain in a minute) and sang songs. So the wet card thing... L says she likes her cards to be wet; basically filled with money. One of her grandsons drew a bucket with water dripping out in his card. Funny. For the most part, L got what she asked for as her children have a little competition to see who will write the biggest check. I'll take one if ya'll willing and able!! Anyway... they sang quite a few songs for L. She's got a very vocal family and they all have really nice voices. Her son P is really talented and his voice... amazing. We talked for quite a bit. He plays the piano, sings, writes, the whole nine yards. We had a little thing going bout old music. Sam had the television on to one of those Comcast channels that plays music. He had no idea who he was challenging. I called every last one that came across the tube. He wasn't ready!!!

That was it. We've been back at the house for about 30 minutes now. I've changed into my comfy clothes and am about to call my editor to work some kinks out my Psychopathology paper.
