I think mom had a good birthday today.

Denise and I went over to Temple after I got out of class at 7pm and we all shared a pizza. Mom loves the take-and-bake pies she gets at Papa Murphy's. We wanted to take the two of them out for dinner but she had already picked up the pies and was chillin' the wine, so we just went over after work and dug in. It was fun.

Denise remembered that mom had talked once about how much she loves Bailey's Irish Cream, so she took a bottle she had at the house, wrapped it up in one of those nice paper sacks with frilly paper you can get at the grocery store, and she gave it to mom. You should have seen the look on mom's face when she opened the paper.

So, we had good pizza and red wine for dinner, lots of fun conversation, and then a cold glass of Baily's for dessert. All in all, mom seemed to have a nice 80th birthday. She was happy. She says when she hits 90 were all goin' to Bermuda. I was like "Wooohooo mom!"

Thanks for all the nice comments and birthday wishes you guys. I really appreciate it. Cheers.
