Bonnie's low-key birthday
Today's Bonnie's 38th, and we're celebrating ... by doing very little. We tried to go out to dinner and go shopping last night but it was a disaster. Robert is sick, Emmeline was cranky and even James was in a bad mood. I told our server it was Bonnie's birthday and she offered to bring Bonnie ice cream and have the servers sing happy birthday, but by the time we were done with our dinners, I asked for the check instead and left in a hurry.
Today is a really low-key day. We're just taking it easy. I'll make Bonnie's preferred dinner -- steak and potatoes -- in a little while, and I bought her a small round Carvel's ice cream cake too.
