Tuesday Birthday

 Hi Everyone!
Thank you for all of the birthday wishes. At this age I don't expect or really want a birthday gift or party. However, Mr. M. is just too tricky. He told me we had to go to Walmart. Uhhhggg. For us it's an hour drive. Now we don't really shop Walmart, but there are things there that we can't get anywhere else. Mr. M. drove and as we got close to Walmart he turned on a road that was between Walmart and Staples. He turned into Staples. I asked, "What do you need here"? He said, "Nothing. You need a new computer chair." This is what I got.
It is the yummy red color I love. Much darker than in the photo. The stitching is too cool. 
Then we stopped at Harbor Freight. 
Why? Because a girl can never have too many screw drivers. LOL
I also received a beautiful candle warmer from my daughter. 
The lamp warms the candle to release the fragrance. 
My SIL sent me a large jar of Australian Black Licorice. 
And my Son and DIL sent me a art supplies.
 I received so many emails and texts and comments of well wishes and love. 
I am blessed.
Ohhh and let us not forget google wishing me a happy birthday too. LOL

Nicole!!! I turned around sitting to check. Ingo got me a similar chair, but mine has a hole for whatever in the back!!! Mine is fabric, though.
Men, huh? Always take care.
Walmart left Germany sadly years ago (or is it decades?). Lovely and yummy pressies! To a happy new year in your life (I know, I repeat myself, but that chair made me smile big).

For someone who didn’t expect birthday gifts I’d say you did pretty well! I don’t recall Google wishing me a happy birthday, but I did receive greetings from my dentist, my insurance broker and a couple of other sincere, AI generated messages. All very touching of course!

Happy Birthday, Nicole! Sheesh, my eyes must have skipped over that bit of information in yesterday's post, sorry. But wow, you hit the jackpot in fab gifts, especially that fab computer chair! It's worthy of being the Captain's Chair on the Starship Enterprise or something, isn't it!

You did very well. We have a similar candle warmer that gets a ,lot of use. And that is a killer chair.

Boa tarde minha querida amiga Nicole. Desculpe-me por não lhe desejar feliz aniversário. Gostei muito da cadeira, nunca vi uma igual, uma excelente tarde de terça-feira e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca.

I'm only reading this now - happy belated birthday wishes, Nicole. That computer chair looks fabulous and comfortable at the same time. You received some wonderful gifts. I guess you were delighted about the pencils (and all the other lovely gifts).
