So here's the plan:

Today is my birthday and here is what I'm going to do:

I'm going to sit in my happy place.

I'm going to sit in my happy place and knit and drink Pelligrino.

I'm going to sit in my happy place, knit, drink Pelligrino and watch my birds. My birds.


I'm going to sit in my happy place, knit, drink Pelligrino, watch my birds

and tell them to shut up.

I may even dip into the semi-sweet chocolate chips, close my eyes and pretend I'm at Longwood Gardens. At the gazebo.



But I'll actually be in my happy place, knitting, drinking Pelligrino and watching my birds.


Unless, of course, it rains, in which case I'll be lying in a fetal position in my bed, reading a mindless mystery while snorking Redi-Whip from a can.

Par-tay...
