birthday recap
The only thing was I didn’t take as many pictures as I usually do. Too much going on – celebrations, impatient children, bathroom renos, work, cooking, chores, laundry, oh yeah try to relax and put your feet up too. HA!
I made cake balls using an orange cake mix and homemade cream cheese icing. They were okay. I think it was the cake flavor. I also dipped a few in chocolate, which made them better-ish.
My children are fabulous, did I mention that? Emma got me a couple of brass stencils and a quilt magazine, and Meaghan & Emma both got me a CAMERA BAG. It’s big and professional-looking now all I need is accessories to go in it.
Sarah got me a relax-special. A bottle of Pepsi, a huge bar of expensive chocolate, another quilt mag, a People mag, two romance novels and the other bolyn girl. Our local Great Canadian Dollar store now has used books, which we all think is awesome yet dangerous. We already spend enough there.
Hubby got me a bathroom sink, which I mentioned before. So far, we have ripped up the corner in the bathroom and part of the floor around the toilet and tub to see if we can find the slow leak.
I cooked myself a nice dinner – wonton soup, chicken balls and rice. Mostly because I enjoy cooking for my family. I was a little stressed by then, so they pretty much left me alone. 
Also, I had decided a few weeks ago to start a photo project today, so I did the first in a series.
Every week until my next birthday, I’ll take a self-portrait. In retrospect, it seems like a big commitment. What if I lose interest, which is likely? And? This was the best shot, which I kinda like. Last night I did. This morning, it looks…I dunno. Too introspective maybe.

Cake ball recipe? I may need to make some today!
Nice looking sink you have there.

That’s the existing sink, not the one we got for our birthday

So, let me get this straight…you made your own birthday cake AND your own supper! You shouldn’t have to do that on your birthday!
There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.
