Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday

and it was such a wonderful day.

Friends sent me cards with my favorite animal on them.

I went to lunch at Cafe Lou Lou's with some of my besties.

Then we proceeded to the mall to shop

where I was peer-pressured into buying these wild ones:

What do you think?

I am still not convinced that these pants don't make me look naked with leprosy

but with a white tank and wedges or a denim button-up and sandals they might work.... 

...right?

After lunching and afternoon shopping, 

I came home to the sweetest hubs in the world.

Alex had asked me earlier this month what I wanted for my birthday.

Since we just bought a house and have been spending a pretty penny fixin' her up

and are traveling to Charleston, SC later this month which is known for its antique and art scene
and I do hope to make a purchase,

I didn't think a gift was really necessary.

In its place I requested a night in 

complete with a husband cooked meal, tv-watching, and pajamas.

Alex did not disappoint.

He prepared my favorites:

Diet Coke

Homemade bean & cheese burritos

Homemade guacamole

Trader Joe's tortilla chips

Fresh Market white & black cookies (which I eat straight down the middle, in case you were wondering)

And what do you know...

that stinker got me a gift certificate for a mani & pedi.

He is too good to me, too too good.

Thanks to all that wished me a Happy Birthday yesterday!

It sure did mean a lot.
