yesterday was my birthday!!!

i had such a lovely day. we headed out in the morning for our favorite recycling yard and dropped off some scrap metal, (yes, i am a trash to treasure girl), then to a lunch of chinese, and finally, we spent the afternoon getting plant cuttings at my friend dee's house. i posted a slideshow link of her yard in another post. i came home with plenty of new cuttings.last stop of the day was to my dad's. we didnt leave there until after 11pm. now thats late for me!! he gave me 2 coupons for free chicken sandwiches from mcdonald's and some money. my dad is very practical and he knows that one for they are very much appreciated and two, that big girls gotta eat!! ;) lol

i promise to get some new pics on here soon ................
