Early birthday celebration

Although it's not my birthday until Monday 13th February, Brian has to go to hospital for some tests that day so Jade and mum came over yesterday and we had a little celebration.  Jade brought over a delicious toffee/caramel mud cake and some lovely soft rolls and ham.  She gave me a couple of my presents too.  Mum and Brian said I have to wait till Monday to get theirs LOL

Jade bought me the second and third Twilight movies (Eclipse and New Moon) and she has pre-ordered the first Breaking Dawn movie as well as the latest season of True Blood for me.  She's such a sweetheart and I always love the thought she puts into the presents she gives.

She also gave me a box of Macarons.  Oh my goodness, they were delicious.  I've never tasted anything like them before.  Apparently they are French and are actually very popular in France with some pastry houses specialising in them.  This will definitely not be the last time I'll be eating them.  The "Pistache" ones were my favourite and the "chocolat" ones tasted a lot like rich brownies.

Thought of the Day

"There is a beauty of heaven, you are the rainbow. There is a beauty of love, you are the heart. There is a beauty of life, you are the soul. An angel’s beauty colors the rainbow of life; you are that angel whose heart is strong and shining bright. Life is a dream, dream a higher dream and live the most beautiful life. Create more beauty giving your heart and soul to life, create more happiness with your precious smile shining bright, create more love when you reach out to an empty heart and color it with your truth. You are the beauty of life; give your heart gifting unconditional love."  ~ Lee Held~
