special birthday girl

TODAY IS KAREN'S BDAY!

Karen is a huge birthday person.  Probably the biggest i know.  For several years, like 5, she's had birthday weeks, she likes her birthday so much.  This year is the first time in a long time she hasn't planned a birthday week... only 4 days.  And she is distraught she has to work on her bday.  But besides the extreme decrease in celebrations, i think she's going to have a great 4-day birthday.

i sort-of decided for her this was her year to try new places and things.  this evolved from the fact she's not a huge cooker.  she had 3 recipes.  while we were at borders picking up some awesome sales dad & i picked out two cookbooks for her.  a 4-ingredient one and a 5-ingredient one.  dad also picked a few recipes out where we thought she could start.  i made one recipe which she insisted she would not like.  later that week i got a text how much she liked it.  she called me sunday and was so proud of herself because she bought ingredients for 4 different recipes.  i'm proud too.  she made one sunday night and even said it was "FUN!"
she's off to a GREAT start!


At her actual bday celebration last year
so happy birthday to karen and happy thursday to everyone else...
