Anything But Gray

My birthday was fun! Zak took most of the day off, the kids were excited it was my birthday and my mommy spoiled me rotten….every other minute she would say "Hey daughter…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" or I'd say something and she'd go.."AND it's your birthday!!!". I LOVED. IT. Do you know how many years I couldn't wait for that? To be able to be around my mom, all day, on my birthday??? I can't even count how many birthdays I didn't get to see her on when I was living in Alaska…it was so nice to have her there all day and being just as excited as I was, for my birthday!!!

I loved the fact that on Facebook, I got birthday wishes from all eras of my life. Almost every single era was represented and boy, THAT is a really cool thing! My childhood in Boston, my teen years in Fitchburg, my Alaska life and even people I've met since we've moved back! Facebook is fast becoming the most amazing invention, ever.

I loved all the phone calls and emails…..I LOVE the love, baby….I really do. 🙂 It makes my heart happy!!!

Niki, Rick and Gabby came over for cake (that Zak and the kids baked!!) and ice cream to give me a card and gift. Which was a VERY cool coffee mug. My mom gave me her gift….a nice candle and decorative plate and rocks (that I got to pick out!!!) some mini lighters cause she HAD to surprise me with SOMETHING. lol. And Zak got me some make up that I've been wanting to try…and some hair dye because I CANNOT handle gray hairs. lol. Ceci gave me $50 and I will use that to go out with on Saturday night. Me and my friends are going to the Singapore. It's a Chinese restaurant with a bar. It's an older crowd and they have a live band. It's fun. Last year we went and  had a blast!!!  Last year it was me, Zak, Niki, Rick, Shelly, Scott, Steve. James came for a little bit, Dave and Wanda even showed up !!!!! This year I think the crowd is going to be smaller, I don't think Dave and Wanda will come this year (I think I harassed them into coming last year, don't know if I can pull that off twice! LOL ) Niki is going down to the Cape to Bililejo's, so she won't be there. Rick, I'm sure, doesn't really want to go unless Niki goes…totally understandable….so I think it's gonna be a small thing this year, but just as fun! The more the merrier but that doesn't mean I won't be merry without ya! LMAO!!!  I am SO EXCITED!!!!! Of course I wish everyone I loved or even liked, would come and they will be missed….but just give me a few drinks, my husband, Shelly, good music and a dance floor and I'm a happy girl!!! 🙂

I would post pictures, but we didn't take any….oops. lol. Saturday maybe we'll get some. 🙂

All in all it was a really nice birthday! 🙂
