My Very Happy 40th Birthday! - 1 June 2011

I gave up on my birthdays ages ago. The last time my birthdays were really great was the summer after 8th grade & once when I came home from the Navy & met my soon to be fiance. That was that. Otherwise it seemed there were always family "issues" happening. As for 39, the whole year sucked. My age never bugged me before but let me tell you 39 was just creapily depressing!

BUT, I have been looking forward to 40 & apparently my my son, Ian, who seemed amused to tell everyone that his mother was going to be 40. I would say, "Listen buddy, I am only - at least - half way done."

So, I woke up to the radio talking about peoples birthdays. I was happy from the start. Which, for someone who has not seen her hypnotherapist in months, that is no small miracle. Just ask my best friend! Don't ask my kids.

My cute little snake, Flicker is not a morning person, was up to wish me a birthday hello too it seemed.

My son was working with a home made quill yesterday & to my surprise it was a letter to me for my birthday! It even had a seal [which is banned for his use, but he was forgiven for today. ;)]

It was a hair morbid, but he is a teen & he has a bit of a morbid mother, so...& an aunt & my best friend are into vampires, so....what can I say, he wanted to know that if he didn't wake he really loved me. How can you argue with that? My son loves me. Ahhh. What a sweety.

My best friend called to ask if she & the girls could come over. I thought she needed to get out of the house as her hubber is on TDY & some times she needs to escape the house, but this was not the case. :) Hence very big smile!

I was greeted by three lovely little girls with cards - home made too - my favorite! Here they are.

   

Isn't is great?

Everyone worked on it.

So, my friend Kerry is a brilliant photographer. She got a beautiful frame & put photos of my family & of her & I & her girls who I love to near death.

Then we went out for dinner at Chilis & Faith & Masie made me another card & here those are. Dinner was brilliant too!

This one is from my Muffin Lady

 

This one is from her best friend Masie Mouse & her sister Taylor is in the photo

 

These are chili peppers.

I just want to thank everyone! Loved everything & love every thing. Kerry & girls, thanks for making it so special for me. Love you! :)

 

These are greetings I received.
