Happy Birthday To Me!

The Best Gift Ever

The Best Gift Ever's Accessory


Yep, my birthday, May 15th. A pretty good day for a birthday, unless you're a mother. Then you realize that your birthday is always right before, right after, or sometimes even the same day as Mother's Day. I don't know who I need to talk to, but I would like to get Mother's Day moved to October.

But this year, I took the bull by the horns (I am a Taurus after all), and told everyone not to get me anything. No, I'm not one of those "Oh, honey, don't bother getting me anything" kind of people, I'm more of a "Don't worry about it, I've already ordered my gift, thanks".

And guess what!!! I got just what I wanted, KitchenAid KPRA Pasta Roller Attachment for Stand Mixersand of course, I needed the, Norpro Pasta Drying Rack. I know that just yesterday, I declared this summer, the summer of canning and stuff, I guess I'll have to add pasta making to that!!

Happy Birthday Pam, my daughter's birthday is the 9th. She was born on Mother's Day that year, and my only girl (out of 5), so it is extra special to me.
Can't wait to see all the pasta entries on the blog.

Oh, I forgot. I have learned to buy my own presents too, or atleast tell them exactly what I want. Smart move.
