My birthday was a freakin' BLAST.

Think…hubby home for most of day.
Got my presents…
IPOD TOUCH FOR ME!!!!
Very cool! Freakin' LOVE it.
Tons of itunes cards…some scrapbook stuff that my awesome daughter picked out all by herself…and a Dremel. And a couple of bits (I have no idea if that's what you call them…ugh…lol) that will enable me to ETCH ON GLASS! I'm excited!!
Then later, Kim, my very awesome friend comes over with bottle of champagne AND a present!!
The Deanna Favre book that I have been DYING for!
Kim rocks…:-)
We drank champagne, went and got our toes done (my christmas present!) then she dropped me off back here.
Ceci was here (wasn't expecting her to be able to be out of work until 9pm, when we had already planned on being downtown) and she got me all the alcohol needed to make one of my favorite bar drinks…Jamaican 10 speed! So yummy.  And she got me a couple of scrapbooks and a note that made me cry…:-) She's so wonderful. JR too, the gifts were from him too.
She got me something else…I'll explain it more later…it's getting late tonight, but it's going to be SO awesome…
We did cake and ice cream and then we all left for downtown. (Kayla, because she's so awesome, watched the kids for us.)  Lindsay's parents were there waiting (we were so late…AGAIN..second time we've gone out with them and the second time we've been embarrassingly late) and then Kim and Steve showed up. AWESOME time!!
Even with me goin' all New Orleans on the place! ha!!
Gotta do it…it's like a tradition on my birthday and it makes me feel YOUNG!
HAHAHAHA!!

All in all a very fun and love filled day. I heard from almost everyone…
There is someone I would've liked to have heard from, that I didn't.
Someone that I'm a little worried about and hoping everything is okay with them…
I feel a little distant from them….and I'm missing them a lot.
They were preparing for some changes and I'm wondering how that is all going…
ugh..really, I just miss them.
They mean a lot to me and my heart feels a little heavy when I haven't heard from them in so long…(4 months….)

Anyway, here's a few pics of my fantastic day!

Oh AND you'll notice…Jaime got bangs!! She looks so stinkin' cute I can hardly STAND it!!

I love that Ben is looking at me in this pic…

They did so good, helping me open my gifts. lol

A better pic of Jaime's bangs….soooo cute!!

How happy do they look? Isn't that fun?
I love it!!

Today was another really fun day too. It was Joey's birthday–HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEY!!!!—and so we all went to the movies. We picked up Lindsay too, so it was a really good time. Then Danielle, Chris and Joey hung out over here for a little while and that was really nice. She also gave me my birthday present tonight, a gift card for the scrapbook store here in town. I cannot WAIT to go spend that!! Very cool gift. 🙂

Back to the grind tomorrow…I'm almost thankful for it, my routine gets so shaken up during vacation time and it's nice to get back to normal…
although I do miss my birthday….it was FUN!!!

    Thank you!!! I made it a point this year, to not give a crap about my age. I feel good, I feel happy with where my life is going and damnit..I’m going to party and CELEBRATE my life.That’s the way it’s supposed to be and more people should do it.I’m huge on birthdays…lol.Everytime I think about Chicago, I can’t help but think of a story my mom told me. She was such a wild child and she had run off to Chicago from Boston when she was in her early 20’s, I think. Anyway, she was so bad the Chicago police escorted her to the city limits and told her to never come back. LOL I always use that against her…I tell her I may be bad, but I’ve NEVER been escorted out of an entire CITY. 🙂
