friday morning kaylee was in our bed like every other morning. she comes in at the magically kid hour of 3 am. i looked at her and she gave me a sweet little tired smile and said "its your birthday". how sweet that she remembered. she really wanted to surprise me and buy me a present so i had mike take her to target to buy me something. i told him nothing over 10 bucks- maybe some earrings or something. he ended up picking the least gaudiest item he said out of the 3. i wore the earrings while she wore the necklace. mike ended up taking us to stray dogs for lunch since he knew that was one of my favorite places to eat. it was kinda out of way but it still worked out. i love their food and the atmosphere is just awesome. i hope the economy doesn't shut them down being in new buffalo and all. we then headed to coloma, michigan where the karma vista winery is. friends of ours introduced me to a sweet red wine called watusi red. i searched all over for the wine and would always come home empty handed. so to make the trip worth it, i bought 7 bottles of watusi red, 2 of starry starry night, 1 of pink side of the moon and 2 ryno reds. i even treated myself to their 2006 award winning dessert wine- the razz m' tazz. its a heavenly drink made of raspberries. all that's needed is a triple chocolate cake and i am all set. now i am going to be a wine hog and share only with those who i deem worthy. you must pass a test before a glass is poured.....maybe a dance or some sort of 80's trivia. i am an 80's girl after all.
on the way home, i had chronic complainer in the back. the ride home was filled with: when are we going to be home, i want to be home right now, i have to poop, i'm thirsty, this water is yucky, its not yucky anymore {when i told her she couldn't have any}, i'm hungry and i'm boring. {her way of saying i'm bored} then i also had chronic complainer on the driver seat. i wont go into details on what he was complaining about. then we started to play the "your stinky game" and i ended it with "well you've got a stinky attitude", this was to the little nugget and she said no you do and mike agreed! that was the final straw, they broke me. i had tears on the way home.
after we got home and chilled and i said my two cents to mike. kaylee came to say she was sorry and gave me hugs and kisses. mike said he was sorry too and then we went to the vine for dinner. it was fantastic! this is the 3rd time i have been there and i have not been disappointed. it is now my favorite place to eat locally. after dinner and dessert, i came home and took a long hot bath. kaylee and mike came in once to do a sneak peek then left me alone for the rest of my tub time. it ended up being a fabulous day. next year though, i'm ordering me a cake from the bakery.
*ham went to dinner with us only and he while he was passing me in the hallway, he said happy birthday gimp. such a sweet boy.*
