Happy Birthday to ME!

I still get that same giddy feeling I had as a kid whenever my Birthday rolls around. I wake up excited for the day- even now that they are just ordinary days, filled with ordinary tasks. Easter and I slept in today, and I was the one dragging Easter from the toasty warm covers. We got ready for the day and headed to my moms place. While I waited for her to get off work so we could head to dinner, I spent time cuddling with both of my doggies, and even gave myself a manicure while watching Stand By Me- a classic.  Treat yo' self. My mom got home about the same time my Aunt showed up and it was time to head to dinner! Usually, my mom takes me out to dinner for my birthday, and this year I was happy my Aunt could come with too. Instead of the typical Olive Garden, I decided I wanted a change. We went to Buca di Beppo's instead!! SO YUMMY!! We finished our LOVELY and FILLING meal and the waitress asked if we wanted dessert. All 3 of us were too full. She then asked if I wanted them to sing their birthday song. Before I could even answer, both my mom and Aunt piped up and said yes! Of course they announced to the whole restaurant that it was my birthday and they sang their song. I'm pretty sure I turned 40 shades of red. It was still fun though. We came home and relaxed for a while, and I opened a gift from my mom. Then it was time to head home. Now, I'm relaxing with Easter, reading all of the lovely messages from so many friends wishing me well today. I feel so loved. Thank you all so much.
