never go home

I celebrated my halfway to 70 birthday early with friends this past weekend. It involved a large amount of cakes, cookies, oranges, and chocolate fondue.

On my fourteenth birthday, my mother once accidentally embarrassed me by asking or local Japanese restaurant if they did anything for birthdays and all my mother heard was, “Yes, pineapple pineapple.”  The entire staff ended up singing to me as they brought out a carved pineapple studded with cocktail umbrellas.  It isn’t the best thing to do to an awkward teenager …but I have forgiven her.

I also received many individual mp3s from my friends which make up a great playlist!  I love how all the songs go together.  I think I need to make that a tradition.
