So here I am, at the ripe old age of 37, 6 months pregnant and wearing my awesome handmade birthday crown:
Yep, my fabulous husband and fabulous daughter made me a fantastic crown to wear for my birthday. I wore it to work. I'm wearing it at home. T also suggested to TJ that my birthday present should be getting my nails done. I don't know how/where she came up with that, but we were surprised at what a good idea it was. So I'm now sporting glittery fingernails and bright almost- BMW M3 blue toes.
Birthdays are often about a new gadget for me: iPhone, iPod, camera, whatnot. In fact Birthday iPod 2006 has been pressed into (underutilized) service as T's sleepytime "rain sounds" machine. This year we got a new computer
for our living room so that T can watch the occasional DVD there. Plus we can use it as a digital photo frame/slideshow thingy when we're not watching anything and also stream our music through it. It's supposed to show up today - woo hoo!Birthday Week also has included a trip to Canlis, most years since 2005. This year is no different. Hooray! Today is a Good Day.
What about you - do you celebrate your birthday or try to ignore it?
I -love- birthdays! No ignoring them here. I don't even mind making my own cake. =) (although J has been known to purchase nice cupcakes, too) I love that you wore your crown to work.
ReplyDeleteGiven your love for baking, I bet getting to bake something yummy in peace for your birthday would be pretty awesome :D
DeleteI did get some weird looks at work but it was totally worth it.
Happy Birthday & have a wonderful time at Canlis!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! As usual, it was lovely and awesome. And eating Canlis leftovers the next day is also pretty awesome.
DeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeletewhoo hoo, happy birthday! i embrace my birthdays too, i like getting older (i turned 30 this year!) hope you have an awesome time celebrating!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I feel like life is getting better and better every year too. My 20s were very complicated ;D
DeleteI'm with you, birthday's are the best. Mine being around Christmas means it often gets brushed under the carpet by friends. But I make it a day to remember. I almost always hold my own party and have my own appetizers, and cake and everything. Because I like celebrating me and another year of living.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday BTW!
I love that about you! Yeah, I feel bad for people whose birthdays get ignored around Christmas - so many friends have told me they only get one card, or a combined present, or whatnot, which is a total bummer.
DeleteHappy Birthday ! I love celebrating Birthdays. Mine included :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I love celebrating, but mine sometimes falls around Mother's Day, this year right on it. Wasn't annoying til I had a kid. Love that you wore your crown to work, awesome! I'm nearing the big 50, and starting to think about how I want to do that up.
