Happy Birthday To Me Part Two

The Ken Carr birthday fun continued after work today.

But, before I left work, tragedy struck.  The wonderful pair of dark blue khakis that Anthony got me for Christmas have developed a hole.  I didn't notice until middle of the day.  Fortunately, they're near a belt loop and not in the crotch so I was able to deal with wearing them the whole day at work.  One of the only not wonderful things about my birthday.

Once I got home from work, I took a little nap, and then got ready and Anthony and I had dinner at El Taco Tote.  I like that restaurant... they make delicious top sirloin tacos.

After dinner, we took a drive out to Desert Diamond Casino.  I figured since it was a lucky month during a lucky year (according to numerologist Patricia Kirkman), I have a dog named Lucky, its almost a full moon, and my birthday, it was about as much luck stacked on as could be imagined.  I hit a hundred dollars on a quarter machine five minutes after getting there which at least funded the remaining fun of playing other slots with Anthony and I.  Unfortunately, I didn't win a jackpot.  But, there's almost a full month of luck ahead according to Patricia so I have that to look forward to.

Once we got home, it was time to cut the brownies frosted with cream cheese frosting, blow out a few candles, and end the birthday on a delicious note.

Overall, a good 46th birthday.  Except for the hole in the pants part.

Birthday tacos!  Om nom nom.

Anthony still eats his nacho chips with a fork.
This habit may or may not be turning him into a zombie.

I hoped I had enough breath left in me at the age of 46 to blow out four candles

20 minutes later I had two down...

Fudge brownies with cream cheese frosting baked by Anthony.
Amazing!

I would have gotten away with eating this whole thing myself if it wasn't for those meddling kids.

Neatness isn't counting anymore.

I didn't care... it was delicious!
