Lady Flowerbug Love

Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Thank you to all my followers this week for your lovely messages. I'm now in my 3rd week of this dreaded flu, I've been to the doctor and I'm on a full course of antibiotics and if that doesn't clear it up, I then have to finish it off with Prednisone what more does a girl want.

I did go out last week to a fundraiser movie night to a chick flick, Bad Mom's I so wish I wasn't sick because I could have laughed more, I was worried that if I laughed too much I would have a coughing fit and wouldn't be able to stop, which would annoy the hell out of everyone else and also weakens your bladder.  I would love to go and see it again once I'm better for even a better laugh.  

We also celebrated Liam's 17th birthday on Saturday, wow where have those years gone, he didn't want a birthday cake, but a triple chocolate cheesecake.  Which I must say myself it was rather yummy.
