We celebrated Doc's birthday tonight, even though it's actually tomorrow. He asked us not to get him any presents, but my daughter bought him a new TV to replace the old one in our room. If you read my post on TVs, you know how I feel about that, but I'm glad she did it. The one he has now is pretty awful; it's an older one, from just before flat screens popped up everywhere. The DVD player doesn't work in it, so he uses his computer to watch movies, and there's no way to connect Netflix or Hulu or anything like that. It will be his most used birthday present ever, I'm sure.
We used to always go out for a huge dinner on birthdays, and I would try to make a beautiful cake, and we'd get home and nobody would want to eat the cake because they were stuffed from dinner. For a little while, we tried to do birthday lunches instead, but now that some of the kids are working during the day, that doesn't work well. Tonight we ordered Chinese and since his birthday is on Pi Day, I made a peanut butter ice cream pie, and bought the Key lime pie that was on sale at Publix, just because I love it.
Since tomorrow is his actual birthday, and most of the kids will be gone, that will be our time together to do something a little more romantic.
