Ok, so I realized that in my crazy travel-rant-snowfall action I completely forgot (or got toobusy) to blog about my birthday! Now last year at my birthday I was turning a quarter of a century old! MY GOD MAN!! Well this year I am one year older than that and I have to tell you that I am in no way anxious about that. I was actually really excited for my birthday this year. I got to have my favorite food (STUFFING AND PUMPKIN PIE!) on the day before my birthday and got lots of fabulous presents including:
*3 miniature Shakespeare books from ENGLAND!
*Lots of Lavendar girly bodywash stuff, YUM!
*A total of 3 Gnomes!!
*A framed Shakespeare stamp!
On my actual birthday I went out for breakfast with my 'rents and then had a Starbucks and did some shopping with my mommy. It is our new custom that when I am home we get a 'bucks and then jaunt over to the BigLots! that is 2 stores down from the Starbucks. I LOVE this new tradition. And what better day to do it than my birthday?! Later that day I decided I wanted to treat myself to some wine tasting (because I'm a big wino now) and so I discovered a winery in my hometown I didn't even know existed. Tagaris winery is a fabulous tasting room with great wines and a restaurant attached. I ended up sitting next to an orthopedic surgeon that was in town just for the weekend to cover the emergency room who was from Seattle. We had a nice little chat for an hour or so and then I gave him my number and told him if he wanted someone to show him around I would be happy to. Apparently I'm getting all kinds of bold in my old age. I ended up buying myself 2 bottles of wine as a self birthday present. WOO.
After a couple margaritas and some birthday karaoke with my best friend from HS I was back in my childhood bed sleeping soundly. The birthday celebration continued the next day with breakfast with a childhood friend and Martini's that night at a new bistro and martini bar. I found out they have a "Martini card" like a coffee card? So If I try all 24 of their martini's (not all at once!) then I get a free gift. SCORE!!!
So all and all, my birthday was a success:)
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Glad your b-day was good for you. All I've really ever wanted is for my kids to be happy, OH and lots of chocolate (that's for me though.)
Happy B-lated Birthday! Hey, you and my brother share a birthday. He's older, though. He worked on his so I'm thinking you had a much better time. ;)
Happy belated b.day.
Stuffing is awe-some!
