Happy Birthday Surprises
June 20, 2010
I was at work yesterday, when a white Enterprise van pulled up in front of the hotel. A man with a large basked of flowers walks in and asks, "are you Monique Charles?" I nearly hit the ceiling! I couldn't believe someone sent me flowers. Not something that happens to me. ^_^ It had some of my favorite things in it. Butterflies and a Sunflower. Don't know why I capitalized sunflower...guess it's just that important. After driving home in the heat, and sitting in my car for a while, the sunflower started wilting already.
Such a pleasant surprise from my friend Ronald. Another pleasant plan (not a surprise) is that the two of us will be getting together to make an ice cream cheesecake. I'm excited! We'll probably start with butter pecan (since that's his favorite). The original plan was to hang out on Monday, the 21st to make it, but some other things have come up and we won't be able to meet until later (if that). So I will certainly upload some pics when we get to it, as this will be a new venture. We will make the ice cream ourselves (something I've always wanted to do).
Tomorrow is my birthday (and it's also Father's Day). While it should certainly be good times, I've been missing my kids terribly. Because it's Father's Day weekend, they're all spending it with...of course...their father. And I'm doing everything I can to keep busy and not think too much on them not being here. Last night, I saw a friend's band (Naked Jam Band). Today, I went bowling (I bowled my first turkey ^_^), found a bug in my frozen spinach, cleaned the car out, washed some clothes, made some dvds for a co-worker, cleaned my parent's netbook, cleaned half the living room, and so much more. Tomorrow, after church, I will be visiting my parents. Yessir! My day was filled.
I will be taking a shower and hopping on World of Warcraft for a couple hours tonight, if anyone wants to join me. I'll probably be switching between Ardentgailla (on Duskwood) and Oela (on Mug'thol). Take care and have a good night!

I really do enjoy experimenting with baking. I love to eat and will try just about anything. It really makes me happy when I can get someone who didn't already like cheesecake to give it a second chance. The experience is all the more worth while when they start to love it.
I have 3 kids who enjoy when I make cheesecakes as well. They are my certified testers...well, I don't know how certified they are when they don't give me any criticism. I need to know if I'm doing anything wrong!
