happy birthday to me!

indeed.. it is the auspicious day of my arrival on planet earth. life sure is pretty good. the time of my birth 16:09. my dad used to make me wait to open my gifts until that time since it "technically" wasn't my birthday. i guess i get that dorkiness from dad.

my sweetie had me open my gift at midnight today. he bestowed upon me the lovliest silver swirl ring. i love swirls, what can i say? maggie made me the most beautiful card where she spelled out "I Love Mom" on her own.

i have wonderful friends and family who not only remember me but also carefully choose gifts they know i will love. as i reflect upon another year i realize i'm damned lucky. i have a beautiful, loving family, wonderful friends, a good job, all my own teeth (even if some are crowned) and my health. each new day is a gift and i'm honored to share it with the people i love.
