Great Birthday

Wow, I was going to say that today was my birthday but this whole day has gotten away from me without a blog entry. I got some LOVELY, but unnecessary gifts. I guess people really do read my crazy ramblings. My lil' sis sent me some gorgeous flowers, my friend Steph gave me a gift card to buy some clothes (once I lose a little more weight), Emily set me up with a ton of amazing utensils for my kitchen (much needed and so appreciated it was a really thoughtful and generous gift), I got some great cards and some green from my Aunt and MaRo. Oma told me to stroll by my bookcase and gaze at it (since it was an early present) that cracked me up. Lena was all of our gifts to each other this birthday season, but she felt the need to leave me...not one...but two presents of her own on the floor while I was making dinner tonight. How generous of her. C'est la vie. :o)

I wore one of my favorite dresses that Ro made me to work today and spruced myself up. It was nice. I didn't even really mind being there too much. I work with some funny and amazing people so it was nice to be around people you care about on your birthday.

After work I did a little browsing at the store with H.D. to determine how much he had grown over the summer. HOLY COW...he is tall and skinny. He brags that he will soon be taller than me (like that is hard). After shopping, we had a little dinner just the two of us since Scott works nights. We walked the dogs, I worked out to Tony Horton's Power 90 Express video (and sweat my buns off yes, I worked out! and on my b-day even) and had ONE glass of 7 Deadly Zins with Aunt Bee on my back porch. Seems like the perfect way to begin my 34th year.
