Happy Birthday Chloe

Today is my daughter's 18th birthday. She started her day at 7:30am.!!!! Seriously, Chloe?? I don't remember the last time I saw her beautiful face that early on a Sunday morning. I hadn't yet wrapped her presents because I thought I'd have hours. Her father took her to get her nails and toes done and then to lunch. She went to have coffee in Laguna and then dinner at K'ya with her girlfriends. We were able to get her for dessert. Oh wait, we did have breakfast together. I made her poached eggs with tapatio on toast. Hey, at least we got her today, right? I made her a mini red velvet bundt cake with cream cheese frosting so we could sing a horrific rendition of the b-day song. It was the thought that counts and the cake "looked" yummy..yes, all I could do was look, unfortunately. She had a fantastic day surrounded by people who love her to death. What more could she want...except for that car she asked her dad for.

I stopped by to wish my friend Tawnya a Happy Birthday. I couldn't make it for the dinner because I was focused on Chloe's day. But I was happy to see the girls. I don't get a chance to see this group often so I was happy to spend a few minutes with them. I love these ladies. It makes me so appreciative of their friendship because I don't offer much of my time these days. I'm so wrapped up with the challenges in my life and that may seem like a poor excuse, I know. But these ladies are so gracious and loving, it makes me love them all the more. I love you Tawnya, Cindy and Laura!

So the word out on the street and in the OC Register is that Saddleback Church's Rick Warren is the top contender for The Ranch. HMMMMMMMM is all I can say. No, I can say that I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be an employee of Saddleback Church. We'll all have to wait and see.
