Happy Birthday to me!

November 10, 2011

I recently celebrated my favorite "holiday," my birthday.  I got lots of calls and sweet gifts from my wonderful friends and family.  My cute family gave me an iPad!!  Woo Hoo!

My neighborhood besties even threw a party for me and Debbie whose birthday is the 14th.  I put on my cowgirl boots for the festivities hoping we'd hit the local country music bar and do some two-stepping, but once the party started, no one wanted to go out.  It was super fun.  I took pictures with my iPhone and they came out kinds yellowish.  And we all have glowie eyes.  Hmmm.

Ha. I just realized I didn't get a single picture with the men in it!  They were outside where it was COLD and rainy.  Actually, in the garage playing ping pong where it was still cold.

Sunday family dinner was another birthday celebration.  The Halter family made my favorite meal of salmon and roasted vegies and a chocolate cake for dessert.

I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.

What Do Ya Think?

I need new eyeglasses.  I had my expert fashionistas, Emmie & Grace, with me tonight at Costco (because Grace stepped on her own glasses and we were there for repairs).   I tried on a bajilion glasses and these are what we  I liked best.

Emmie actually picked out a pair almost identical to what I currently have, so she must know me well or have excellent taste, jut like her aunt.  Good either way.

So what do ya think??  I haven't made the purchase yet.  Who wants to do that with two hungry kids in tow?  I'm open for thumbs up or down voting.

P.S.  Grace took the picture.  Not my best photo.
