• About Me


    Where do I start??? I grew up outside of Chicago, IL but now reside outside of Minneapolis, MN. I've been called many names in my life.... many of them derivitives of my given name. My son calls me Mommy. My husband calls me Honey. My students call me Teacher. My family calls me lots of things... However, here, you may call me Tendrils. I love to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy reading, blogging, and scrapping in my "free time" (what is that?!?!)

  • Cast of Characters

    Hubby - My loving husband of 4 years.

    Punky - Our 2 year old son who is growing like a weed!

    Grandma Knock-Knock -- Tendrils' mom who lives in Illinois. (Punky's grandma) Since Mom lives in IL, she always used to cluck her tongue and knock on Punky's head when she would see him then cluck her tongue on the phone when they were apart. Now Punky calls her "Grandma Knock Knock!"

    Bacca -- refers to Grandpa Ed or Grandpa Kenny

A perfect birthday…

Posted on January 10, 2008 by tendrils

My 34th birthday was all I dreamed of…..and MORE! ( I AM SO GLAD ECSTATIC TO NOT BE 33 ANYMORE!)

My morning started with a phone call from my mom and dad singing “Happy Birthday” to me. This was followed by phone calls from other family members…. sister….Grandma….. I went to Caribou Coffee and got my FREE Birthday coffee. :) I tried their new drink, dolce de leche. It was very good. :)

I dropped Punky off at daycare and got a sweet gift from Kelly. (THANK YOU!) I got to school and was showered with gifts from my friends. “The gals” had a little “party” for me during our lunch break…..we had pizza and a chocolate eclair dessert. My students were pretty good all day and were very nice…..some classes sang “Happy Birthday” to me.

I got numerous emails and text messages throughout the day from friends and family….THANK YOU! I went to pick up Punky from Kelly’s and he had made me a “hand made” card (With his hand traced on it!) It was cute!

Hubby was at the store buying steaks so we could grill for my “birthday dinner” after Punky went to bed when the phone rang. It was my father-in-law. He wanted to know if he could bring dinner over for all of us tonight. “SURE!” I told him, so I called Hubby and told him we could do the steaks tomorrow night…..

My father-in-law brought over KFC, and we all ate dinner together. Hubby had bought a cake….so they sang “Happy Birthday” to me. (Punky was hilarious!) It was absolutely perfect! It wasn’t the evening we had planned……….but it was absolutely perfect!

THANK YOU to everyone for helping me welcome year #34! I love you guys………….you’re all the best! :) (Thanks also to Shadowsnlight for my birthday greeting!)
