How awesome a day is January 26th?

Well, you guys already knew it rocked, as it was the day I arrived in the world. But I've also just discovered that January 26th is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day! In addition to being that, it's also the birthday of Ellen Degeneres, The Great One, Wayne Gretsky, Eartha Kitt, Paul Newman and General Douglas MacArthur.

I had a great Birthday. I got a new book from Kelli, and she took me out to lunch. I was also sung to in two languages. No cake, but I don't really need it. I didn't complete the story I wanted to finish by yesterday, but I did get 1100 words written. The piece needs wrapped up and edited before I submit to Good Vibes.

So the year is off to a great start already. Thanks for all the birthday wishes, e-mails, cards, and general warm fuzziness I felt coming my way yesterday.

Merry Part and Blessed Be

Tomorrow is the day

My 29th birthday. I got a very lovely gift from my in-laws today. Jeff got me two DVDs I really wanted, Sleeping Beauty and Wanted. Not sure how I feel about the birthday this year. Normally I love my birthday, it's the one day a year I allow myself to be a shameless attention whore. But I'm being plagued by the feeling that everyone expects me to have done more with myself by this age. It's the last year of my 20s. Time to grow up or shut up? And it's stupid, because really, I'm the only one who has to be happy with myself. And I do generally like myself, my job, my house and my life. I have the awesomest friends, fantastic family, a husband who loves me, a good job and a roof over my head.

So I guess, writing it out like that, I'm pretty damn lucky.

Bring it on 29.

Merry Part and Blessed Be

Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday. I drove to West Hickory and spent the day with my family. I ate turkey, mashed potatoes, pie, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, baked corn and stuffing. Everything was wonderful. I am thankful for my husband, our home, our friends and our family. I am also thankful I was not in any of the marching bands in NYC yesterday. They got very wet.

I'd also like to wish a happy birthday to my sister Lacy. Her Birthday was November 21st.

I'm at work so I'll end this here. Merry Part and Blessed Be!
