09 What is the best present you ever received?
It's hard to compare presents. My daughter did take me to the city (New York) for a weekend to see La Boheme at the Met, then Phantom of the Opera. We went to the museum, had dinner at Delmonico's and The Grande Tier at the Met. Our room at the Plaza Hotel was upgraded by a lovely desk clerk. She had wanted a room overlooking Central Park but there were none, so we got a suite of rooms that normally costs thousands of dollars a night, but we got it for our upgrade. That was a wonderful birthday experience. The suite was beyond lovely. Marble bathroom, every amenity you can think of.. living room, dining area all furnished with gorgeous furniture.
The Plaza isn't a 5 star hotel for nothing. Yes, I am totally spoiled.

My nickname by my husband and son is Honey...only because my son thought that was my name (instead of Mom) when he was 2 years old and it stuck, no matter how many times it was corrected.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, friend. smiles.
Same here. My son finally came home from kindergarten and said, HOney, can I call you Mom like the other kids?". I missed being called Honey.
DeleteLemmings is such a weird nickname. I wouldn't like it either.
ReplyDelete:o)
Cheers

There’s a nasty connotation to “lemmings”, meaning you follow the crowd and don’t think for yourself, that certainly doesn’t describe you.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad your birthday trip was great.
Anyone who uses the phrase “Kobiyashi Maru” ....live long and prosper, my friend.
That puce color IS ugly. I would look terrible in it. Loved your answers! Have a great day!
