On Tuesday, I celebrated my last day of being four with my first ever trip to Homeslice. (Clarification: Homeslice is closed on Tuesdays but thankfully their More Homeslice is open to peddle the best slices in the world.) I have long been addicted to Homeslice but have never had the privilege of going there. All I can say is wow. And it exceeded all expectations.
Some fun plans were tentatively made for my birthday but everything fell by the wayside and I built Lego for 12 hours or so. (Best birthday ever.) I took a break only to go to Verdes for dinner and to play a bit of football on their back lawn which really isn't much of a lawn right now. It has become tradition to celebrate my birthday at Verdes with a nutritionally unbalanced meal of too much queso, glass after glass of lemonade, and a sundae that is bigger and more elaborate each year.
On our way out, I met a sweet older couple who immediately adored me as I began my story of how yesterday I was four but then I woke up and I was automatically five. I showed them my Lego monstertruck that I had brought along for the car ride to Verdes. I charmed them further (the woman raved about how much she loved loved loved my personality) and they regretted missing my birthday and not getting me a gift since it all just happened automatically. So my new friends gave me some money as long as I promised to go shopping for a birthday gift on behalf of them. I have no way to thank them.
