Happy Bird-day to Me!


Me @ Three

Now, seriously, you can't say that I'm not the cutest dang thing you've ever seen.
I mean, it's almost too much for me to look at with my Smurfette cake.
Last night, I looked through old photos, I guess I was feeling nostalgic.
I found this one of me on my 3rd birthday, and couldn't resist posting it.

As promised, here are some of the flowers.

Alstros

Anyways, today, my birthday.......
was no different from any other day.
Except that, at work I was running a million miles a minute.
Thinking 20 different thoughts simultaneously.....
I did, however, get a ton of stuff done today.
When I came home for lunch, I absentmindedly locked my keys in the house.
A lady from work had to come pick me up to finish the last few hours.
I really needed those last few hours to get everything done, too.
Tomorrow is going to be just as busy,
but that will make the day go by faster.

Birthday Bouquet

I have to tell you, I'm feeling very spoiled right now.
Not only have I gotten 5 bouquets, a box of my favorite chocolates, and a cake,
but this morning when I woke up, I received a present!
It was mostly because I repeated, "Where's my bird-day present!",
while rubbing my hands together in a sinister fashion.

Without hesitation Cody handed me a card.
I was touched from the moment I began to read.
It was by far the sweetest card ever;
I don't think I've ever cried at 7 in the morning.
And if you were wondering, the actual birthday present was cold, hard cash :)

Daisies

I am slacking off right now,
and should be packing!

Thank you for all of the wonderful Birthday Wishes!

I can't believe your birthday is only two days after mine! Sounds like you had a much more relaxed day than I had!

The smurfette cake is lovely! Enjoy your flowers and your day.

margie said...

happy birthday!! you were cute! just this morning i watched smurfs for the first time in many many years with my grandson. he has never watched smurfs before. ahem, a little politically incorrect, i couldn't believe it. i didn't remember that all the smurfs only wanted to win smurfette, and she lived with papa smurf, what was up with that??? we had lots of smurf cakes back in the old days, we have had an island we called smurf island up at the cottage.

Fifi Flowers said...

Love gerbera daisies! They are so happy! Happy Birthday!
Love your smurf cake too!
