It Was a Very Merry UnBirthday

I had a lovely birthday, thank you! I appreciate all of the kind birthday messages via blog, Twitter, FB, etc. (Am I too wired? I do love the interweb.) I had a great time with my family and friends last night, but unfortunately find myself unable to post any pictures. Yep, you guessed it, we left our camera cord at my folks' house. 

This continues to be a running theme.

I'll get it this morning and then upload photos so that you can live vicariously through our chili dog/homemade mac and cheese/spicy coleslaw/chocolate chip bar experience. It was truly a wonder, a sight to behold. My mom is awesome.

And so is my husband, for the record. He orchestrated a seamless giving of gifts that left me happily holding the first three books in the Twilight series--in hardcover! I was thoroughly impressed. My favorite card was from my sister the goddess, Candice; it featured celebratory nuns, and the inside message read, "Hellelujah! It's your birthday!" And my favorite personal message was from Janie, my sister-in-law; it read, "I hope all of your very most dramatic vampire birthday wishes come true."

Wow!

I also received some cold hard cash, which I am taking with me this morning to an indoor community garage sale. I hope to score some good junk. We'll see. I'll let you know.
