***Birthday #44***

I'm so GIDDY!!!

It's my birthday!

Birthday #44!!

!!!!GLORY!!!!

Yes, yes. On this day, in 1970 at 11:19 am, your Friendly Neighborhood Oldgirl LadyLee was BORN!

And henceforth I take the day off.

For it's a LadyLee National Holiday, you see.

LOL!!

I don't have big plans for today. Me and LadyTee are going to do our Thelma and Louise thing.  That means lunch and a movie!

I plan on going to Friday Morning Bible Study. I think I am going to get up there and dance at the altar with that same lady that be dancing and singing around the altar at the morning bible study. I hope she doesn't give me the hard side-eye!

I got some deliveries to the workplace today! I was shocked and surprised...

Play Mama A sent me some balloons!

Those balloons were attached to some FRUIT!!

Thank you, Mama! *falls at Mama's feet*

Mama asked if I'd seen that the pineapples were cut in the shapes of "44"?  I said no, and then went on to examine the fruit basket. And there were the pineapples!

I saw those pineapples earlier.  I thought "They must have a new person cutting the fruit. Whoever cut those pineapple into the shape of stars really jacked them up."

She knows how I love some good fruit! And it's some good fruit indeed!

I just wanted to lay my face in it. Wow.

And good ol' Sam, aka "Cinnamon Sugar", sent me some chocolate covered strawberries.

Woooo-weee! Those suckers were good!

I only had one. I was roaming around the cubicle area showing them off. And people were looking at me. So I had to share.

I ate one. And it was great. Big giant strawberries! And some of ya'll know what I do for a living... Big strawberries are soaked with pesticides. And I did NOT care. That one strawberry was GREAT. I

I came home with one left. Next time I know not to share. They are too good to share! I just think I was happy at the moment.

Sam snapped on me about that.  She went straight Cinnamon Sugar on me on the real. I am sorry, Boo! I may just reimburse you the next time you come hang out at the crib!

The place that sell those is over in the bougie 'hood. We're doing a driveby for some more of those tomorrow.

Really though.

I am afraid of balloons. When I was three, my best friend KK, who was also three, was blowing a balloon  up and it blew up in her face. That girl screamed and cried so hard. I was shocked by it all. And some 40 years later I get the shakes when I see balloons.

And one of my balloons floated up into the rafters of the workplace garage. Sigh.

I had to stand up in the doorway of my car and snatch it down.

And when I arrived home, the same balloon floated to the top of my garage. Seeing that my garage is some 15 feet high, I decided to just go on in the house. Maybe it will float down in the next couple of days.

My coworker Lady S gave me a nice candle and some little fruit snacks. What a surprise!

So I am just checking in. Thank you all for reading the past month leading up to my birthday month. I had SO many food for thought posts, and of course, I didn't get them all posted.

And thanks for commenting! The drawing will be held on Monday or Tuesday. Make sure to check back to see if you are a lucky winner.

So this is birthday #44.  I could not imagine turning this age. But i am here now.

I hope this year will be as good as year 43!

I can't wait to see what it brings!!
