12 on the 12th--July Edition

Michelle was kind enough to make my grid for me again this month even though she ended up getting a cough and a sore throat in the night and had a miserable day.

1. The frustrating chain of emails with the book club girls because I selfishly proposed a rescheduling date since I'll be missing book club next week...I should have known it was futile.
2. I took an hour long walk and listened to General Conference on my ipod.
3. Whitney played at the little beach area of the pond where I was walking (we discovered this place last week and love it...hence my new blog banner and Wordless Wednesday Photo).
4. Michelle arrived with her traditional vanilla cream birthday pie and gifts for me!
5. Our self-portrait before going out for my birthday (she's covering a cold sore on her chin).
6. We crashed some sort of Senior Citizen field trip at the dollar theater to see Jane Eyre (we both really liked it).
7. We joined more Senior Citizens for an early bird dinner at 5:00, but in our defense we had to miss lunch to make our movie so we were famished. (But there was a wait as we were leaving, so maybe the early bird is the way to go.)
8. The Cheesecake Factory was an excellent choice for us, though we stuffed ourselves silly and were sorry about that for the rest of the night.
9. The beautifully wrapped gifts Michelle gave me.
10. She gave me 3 sizes of colored envelopes and a generous stash of postage! She also gave me a shirt and a necklace. Oh how I love postage!
11. Landon endured some tickle torture from Randy and I, he's a fun victim.
12. I read in the cozy for awhile but had to stop because I ended up with a killer headache.
