Family Birthday

The never-ending birthday celebrations continue.

Big switch for family plans today.  Eldest has a hurt foot (and youngest doesn't like to hike) so hubby and I are taking the dogs on a woods walk this morning.  Family is gathering at our house for the afternoon and an early dinner.

I'm making said dinner.  

Oh well.  I didn't like the takeout options and I didn't want to go out (too expensive with 6 people).  Since I have to make dishes for tomorrow, I'm doubling and adding protein to the salad -- Cobb salad with different dressing options from Jen Hatmaker cookbook.  Also an appetizer (doubled for tomorrow) and roasted veggies.

I woke up sneezing and I feel stuffy and a little headache-y.  I HOPE this is just allergies.  Being sick will screw up all the rest of the plans.  I'll know in a few hours.

The Vintage Antique Market was a total BUST.  It was more a craft fair -- stuff you see left and right at the farmer's market (minus the farmer's tents).  We met friends there -- bummer, but nice catching up.  There were only 3 vintage booths -- massively overpriced.  

Here is my library haul.  

Started this first.

Can't believe it's my birthday tomorrow.  Since my dance card is full (by my standards), I'll do a birthday goals, reflection, summary next week while we're in Asheville.  Hubby is golfing 2 days so I'll have more time.

Have a good weekend.  Later gators.
