It’s my birthday tomorrow, wooo!!! On Friday night, Mike took me out to dinner to celebrate. My mom hung out with the kids so we could have a nice night, just the two of us. Of course, we ended up talking about them most of the time, but at least we could talk about them without having to cut up meat, or get a straw, or clean up a spill. Love that alone time.
I am very short

~I just ordered this light ring for my iPhone. It supposedly makes photos look better than just using a flash. I’ll let you know this week what I think!
~We rented this tabletop popcorn machine for a backyard party we had yesterday and Mike and I are pretty obsessed with it. I kind of want to buy it and add it to the list of ridiculous things I own (like my snow cone and cotton candy machines!), LOL.
~These grocery bags clip right onto the shopping cart, has anyone used something like them? I’m very curious.
Tomorrow, Tomorrow
Everyone do me a birthday solid and have a fabulous day tomorrow (the 27th). That means everyone stays safe, no countries leave any unions and topple the economy, and you have an extra helping of your favorite dessert. Calories don’t count on my birthday and I am extending this rule to everyone. I’m gonna sit in my hammock and eat peanut butter M&Ms, and have pie for breakfast!
Happy Sunday, everyone!
Casey says:
FYI- I have a popcorn maker just like that (got it from Walmart). it is pretty cool, but is a pain in the butt to clean
samatwitch says:
Happy Birthday for tomorrow, Heather. I hope it’s a wonderful day and your celebration continues for many days to come. (I am finishing off the leftovers from my birthday tea last Saturday – my birthday was last Friday – so I’m still celebrating!)
RzDrms says:
I, too, may get involved with pie tomorrow to celebrate you, and life in general!
(Also, I really wanted to read The Atlantic Subaru article, but too many pop-up and scrolling ads and delays in scrolling and whiza-beegiza-boom-bangs to deal with while trying to read it. So I got the gist and then gave up. )
KimAZ says:
Not only do you deserve a happy birthday because you RULE, you even made sure that calories don’t count for ANYONE because that’s the cool person you are. I will be involved with donuts in your honor.

I have those bags and they are SUPER handy BUT even though you may conveniently sort and place items in specific bags all cashiers I’ve ever been to ask me to dump them out on the conveyer belt upon pulling in. Once scanned you can replace items but it may take some time. I’d recommend them anyway though!
Sue says:
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday tomorrow, Heather!!!
Annalien says:
Wishing you a very happy birthday!! Hope the pie for breakfast was scrumptious!
Paula says:
There are a couple of stores by us that have the scanner guns that you can carry with you while you shop. Those bags are super handy for that – I scan the item, throw it in the bag then swipe my credit card and go – so convenient!
