It's My Party...


Okay, I admit it...in fact, I'm shameless about it.  I love my birthday.  I start annoying my husband with a countdown to the big day at least a month in advance.  I can even (for the day) ignore the fact that the very celebration I adore is also the one that is going to make me one year older (41, thank you very much!)  


I have dubbed today, "Day of Fun!"  It's the Master's golf tournament in Augusta right now and at my office we each get a freebie day off during the week since it's a slow week and a lot of regulars are out of town and a lot of irregulars are in town.  I chose today for my day and I plan to enjoy it to the fullest!  David went to work, Kyle went off to hang with his buddies at daycare...leaving just me.  That's right - me, alone in my own house!  I'm having my nails done later, shopping for a new pair of sandals, going wherever I want for lunch...I might even lounge around later and watch Oprah AND Dr. Phil.  

Oh yeah...it's going to be a great day!

UPDATE:  Well, the afternoon took a turn for the different when I got a call saying there were two tickets to the Masters waiting for me!  So, I abandoned all plans for the afternoon and met my hubby for an afternoon of strolling the links.  Even if you're not into golf you can't help but fall in love with the beauty and history that is Augusta National.

OMG is today your birthday?! It shames me to say that I don't keep track of friend's birthdays very well.

Sounds like you have a wonderful day planned! :)

Happy Birthday! And, in case you did not know... I'm jealous that you went to the Masters today! You know how much I love that place.

Happy Happy Birthday! I wish I was there to share it (and a big slab of cake) with you.

I wish we could stroll in warm spring air. Winter just is not loosening its grip here.

There is no better gift than a day off in your own house all by yourself. I hope you had a great day.

Today was a banner day for me. A new, beautiful couch was delivered to my house and grandma's lumpy stained sofa is in the basement! YEAH! Come over. I've got a seat for you.

To one Aries to another . . . a belated Happy Birthday! (I always think your's is the 10th!)
