Look at it. Touch it. Love it.

You say it’s my Birthday!
Well, it is almost my birthday. I will be turning 40 on May 13th this year. I know the big 40 is a big birthday for most people but for me it is huge. By the time I had turned 30, I had lost my left leg to cancer and had shattered my left knee and femur. I had been married for a little over 3 years to My Man, so my for goals for the next 10 years were simple:
- Be Alive
- Have 2 children
- Have my original knee
Well, I am happy to say, I am alive (knock on wood!), I have my original knee (it has issues but it is still working) and I have The Boy. The plan was to have two children but shit happens. In my case, two more cancer diagnoses. Sometimes, I wish we had our little girl Poppy but The Boy is such a joy. I love it being the three of us, My Boys.
My Man knows how big turning the 40 is to me, so he is planning a trip for the two of us. He had a Plan A that did not pan out but that is ok. We will go to the French Laundry soon. You can bet on that!
So last Saturday he asked me “where do you want to go”? Ideas were thrown out, New Orleans, NYC, Montreal… In the end, after Justin spoke to a friend of his, we picked Quebec City, Quebec. We are going in June, so Nana Pete and Papa can come over and take care of The Boy.
We are staying at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. I have read and our friends who have been there agree, that Quebec City, it is the most European City in North America. I can’t wait. My Man has looked up restaurant’s for us to check out. I have been looking at their websites and can’t help but get hungry. The food looks so good. We are going to make our reservations this weekend.
If any of you have been to Quebec City and have some favorite places to see, do or eat, let me know. I will of course keep you update and will take lots of photo’s when we go.

I am a slacker
Hi Y’all!
Sorry I have been MIA this week. I have been a slacker. The week started off kinda crazy and when I would get home, all I wanted was my bed…and a glass of wine.
Monday started out with me taking my car in for its 15K mile check up at 9am. The guy said it would take an hour. It took four hours and they gave it back to me broken. Not Happy. They had to order a part for my Sync system (which worked fine when I brought it in). That meant no hands free phone (I did not call while driving), no navigation and the worse, no music. They said the part would be in the next day. Wrong. I just got it fixed today. Ugh. However, they did wash and vacuum out my car. ![]()
Tuesday, I had Jury Duty. Enough said. Well…Maybe not. Let me say that everyone who worked there was very nice. I never did get called for a jury and got to leave around 1pm but it did kind of mess up my day. How can you get so tired by doing nothing but sitting on your ass? Overall it wasn’t too bad. I will be looking for my $25 check in the mail.
Yesterday and today have been much better. I actually got some work done! After The Boy’s piano practice yesterday, we went out and ate some oysters. Yummy! I also had King Crab legs and a great wine from Hook & Ladder.
Radom Thought: I saw the actress Monquie at the club this morning. She has really lost a lot of weight and is looking good.
I am looking forward to Friday and the weekend. Nothing big planned. I will attempt to clean out the screened in porch and the pool. I also hope to plant more bulbs in the front yard.

At this moment The Boy is singing Crawling by Linkin Park in his bedroom.
