Day 1330 | My Birthday

Today was a lovely day. Thanks for all the calls and texts and happy thoughts. I’m feeling very loved. 

Among other things, here are some reasons my day was just about perfect:

  • No cake: I’m more a brownie and ice cream kind of girl.
  • No talking on the phone: I love receiving phone calls and voicemails but I really don’t like talking on the phone on my birthday. I make an exception for my own parents (I’m really nice like that), but otherwise I’ll happily listen to voicemails.
  • No decisions: I prefer to avoid decisions in daily life in general but that holds especially true on my birthday. Luckily, Chris really stepped up to help me out today so I had minimal decisions to make.
  • No surprises: Chris surprised me with one of my favorite people flying to DC for my birthday one year. I didn’t handle it well (for the record, most of the problem was that we celebrated my bday at an outlet mall Mexican restuatant as we waited for the plane to land). Since then, he’s realized that surprises aren’t really my thing. I just like to look forward to things too much!

So what did I do today?  Lots of quality time with the kids and a super fun Olympic-themed party. More photos to come but for now you can just enjoy the one above from after the metal ceremony. 

Birthdays are the best. Thanks for showing me the love.
