Yeah, better than your day for sure! My SIL cooked dinner then I went to a village budget meeting. Sadly, I did stand and open my mouth. Reporter did ask me to spell my name, but I don’t watch the news so I don’t know if I made it. If I was on, I am sure someone will tell me they saw me. LOL
Family got me a backup camera for my car. I have to spend a day getting it installed. They had a cake for me late that night when my daughter got home.
Happy belated birthday! I hope what you said made some people howl in protest-I think it is a fine thing to do something bold and outrageous on a birthday-on one of mine, a friend and I managed to crash a fancy grand re-opening of an historic hotel where then-mayor Cisneros was speaking-her boss, an attorney was also speaking there forgot his speech in the office, so she grabbed it, we both took off work at noon and went to the place, we waved the speech at the guards at the door, pleading that her boss needed it-and viola-we were into what amounted to a democrat fundraiser.
We wandered around drinking champagne, pretending we knew people we did not while smiling, ate food that neither of us could afford to buy, eavesdropped on conversations like we were on a covert mission, made fun of Cisneros’ mistress scandal while he was speaking, and sneaked up to one of the renovated rooms before they were open to look at, messed up the bed, took the customer satisfaction form and wrote a totally vulgar account of having had a had a quickie with a guy in the room less than an hour ago, criticized the room decor-and the salmon pate and caviar on the menu, left the form on the bed and sneaked back to the party giggling like it was a college stunt-it was some of the best fun I’ve ever had, and her boss never realized we were there at all. I’ve done some other defiant and outrageous things on birthdays since, but never anything so elaborate as the party crashing...
Sorry I missed your birthday - hope it was a good one!
