like i said … i had this all typed up last night. and "poof" … it was gone. i'm still mad about that. lol! last night i had this all in more detail … but now i'm just doing the condensed and to the point version. just to be able to look back on.

  • girls gave me handmade cards when i woke up. alyssa also had my large glass of soda all ready for me when i came downstairs. they would have made me breakfast … but i don't eat breakfast.
  • joe brought me starbucks and peanut butter cups when he got home from work in the morning.
  • i only had nikolas … so it was nice and quiet. he was a little fussy … but took 2 excellent naps … so it evened out.
  • had a few phone calls and emails from friends and family wishing me a happy birthday.
  • all my daycare kids brought me little presents. i had been joking a few weeks ago that they better start preparing for my birthday … and that gift cards would be accepted. lol! i was kidding … but they still surprised me!
  • one of my bestest friends, deneen, brought my lunch and stayed to chat for a bit. sandwiches, chips, deserts, and another starbucks!
  • got some fun birthday cards in the mail. love the one that sara made me … and that she actually figured out when my birthday was from some random comment i had left on her blog.
  • wendy gave me a nice little birthday shout-out on her blog … fun to come across!
  • girls got home from school with amanda … and they were all pretty good for me. not too much fighting.
  • went to dinner with joe and the girls. had some yummy comfort food … pot roast and mashed potatoes. i would NOT let them tell the server that it was my birthday … much to sarah's dismay.
  • and loved that so many people guessed that i was turning 32 years old. because it sounds good. but reality is … i'm 38 now. crazy!

and i'm sending a huge "thank you" to my friend nichol … for making me my new blog banner! isn't it fun! i had made that last one with paper products … and while i loved it on paper, i didn't love the colors for my blog. nichol mentioned that she wouldn't mind making me a digital one … and i totally took her up on her offer. i gave her some colors i had in mind … and she did the rest. and she was even very patient with me when i asked her to make a few changes. lol! i really loved what she came up with … and i appreciate her helping me with it. thanks nichol!

    Happy Birthdays are something to be thankful for and you will be glad you retyped it for your book you print out, even if it is the condensed version.
    Yay on the Starbucks- two in one day is a very good thing! Happy Birthday!!
