Anything But Gray

My birthday is January 4th and for a lot of years, it sucked.
it's a pretty crappy date for a birthday.
Walk with me a minute, I'll explain….

It's 10 days after Christmas, so everyone is broke.
It's 3 days after New Year's, so everyone is done partying.
3 days after New Year's also means no one is doing anything fun anymore because of stupid New Year's resolutions. You know, like…I'm gonna quit eating sweets or I'm gonna stop drinking so much or I'm gonna quit smoking. The quit smoking one really sucks because it's typically around Day 3 of quitting that people turn into real assholes.  Get my point? Talk about a downer! Right??
So, I think it's a kinda not so fun date for a birthday. LOL

Anyway, my birthday has been fine for years and years now. I haven't had a lousy birthday in I don't know how long. Actually, when my birthday really turned around for me was when I stopped not saying anything and just expecting everyone else to step up and make it awesome. Well, I quit doing that when I had kids. I don't want to pass my birthday drama crap down to them and I honestly LOVE birthdays, including my own and I love getting excited about it and counting down the days and all that…….

Well, before we had kids and I was still in the my birthday sucks mode……Ceci gave me a new one. September 22nd. Some years we make a big deal of it, some years we don't….but I always love when that day rolls around. It's "my day" from Ceci….it's a day that makes me realize how lucky I am to have a friend like her. It makes realize how amazing she is.

So last night she calls and she was like .."Okay, I got you your gift. I am giving you an itunes gift." And I'm like "AWESOME!!!" because I so wasn't expecting anything and what a KICK ASS gift! So then she says "And get this…it's an allowance. You get it every month!!" I about died. She is so, so thoughtful and we both were just cracking up at the idea that I am now getting an allowance from Ceci!!!!! LOL

I LOVE it…..:-) Here's what I found in my email when I looked……

Gift from ceci

Can you read it? It's says "Cecilia Dixon sent you an itunes allowance"
I am so saving that forever…..an allowance from Ceci…how HYSTERICAL is that!!!!!

That woman is so good to me, so wonderful….she spoils me so bad!!! LOL

Thank you Ceci, you are awesome!!!!!! I love you!!

Wanna know the first song I bought? Because it HAD to be special, it HAD to be "me".
