Happy Birthday to ME!
My birthday was on Saturday. I have to say it was one of the BEST birthday’s I’ve ever had. The whole day was absolutely amazing. I woke up early- without the alarm. Which is always so satisfying. I started cleaning a bit since we were going to have company over later. Mick got up and vacuumed for me- very nice. The sun was out and it was so warm and BEAUTIFUL. ahhhhh We dropped Thomas off at a birthday party and then Mick, Graham and I headed out to Hawthorne for lunch. After some good Hot Lips pizza Mick dropped me off at my very favorite yarn store to spend some of my birthday money. (thanks mom, tom and dad!) There is just something about yarn that makes me happy. I got some alpaca and new knitting needles and a book on socks and met Graham and Mick so we could venture off to Ben and Jerry’s for some yummy ice cream. (took a day off from South Beach). After yummy ice cream we went to Ja Civas to pick out a cake. Several years ago Mick ordered a poppy seed, raspberry torte for me from there. mmmmm I picked out a very berry white cake (cream cheese and berries in between the layers). We then headed home and soon after I picked up Thomas from his party and then we all headed out to Macaroni Grill for dinner. We invited some of my friends and they all showed up bearing gifts and birthday wishes. It was awesome. After dinner we all headed home to have cake and play Guitar Hero. The last of my company left around 11 pm. It was a really good time.
Not to mention, i got some really sweet gifts too.
-A weaving loom
-Camera
-Money
-Michaels Gift card
-Sock Monkey socks
-Burts Bee’s kit
-Journal and nice pen

I forgot to mention that when I came home from dinner I had several phone messages from family and friends who called to wish me a happy birthday. And that it was!
I work early tomorrow so I am off to bed
