Happy Birthday To Me!

Today is my birthday. My 39th birthday to be exact.

Just typing that out hurts. Next year...the big 4-0. Ugh. Perhaps Ian will take me to Jamaica to soften the blow.

My loving husband and children hung a birthday banner that said "Happy 30th Birthday" and let me live in my own world.

Every time the children wished me a Happy 30th Birthday, I think I loved them just a little bit more.

Ian brought me breakfast in bed - a large steeped tea from Timmy's and freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Sweet.

Ian was home today so he took the children to school, we hung out for a bit, then I went back to bed to finish a book I am reviewing and had had a two hour nap.

Oh yeah, you read that right. A two hour nap.

And it gets better.... I had a hot shower. And it stayed hot the entire time. No hot water sharing for this birthday girl, no sir.

Afterwards, I visited with my mom then Ian took us out to dinner at Montana's. Baked chicken penne.... oh yum.

No, there will be no Jillian time tonight. And I'm ok with that. I've lost 11 lbs since I've started hanging out with her every day. Not too shabby.

You know what else happened today?

I won Arizona Mamma's giveaway she was hosting on her blog Our Daze In The Desert. SWEET.

And there's more...

My dear bloggy friend CrayonWrangler from Coloring Outside The Lines left me two voicemails on my cell phone. The first was to wish me a happy birthday and the other was to serenade me with "Pants On The Ground", a song some dude sang for his American Idol audition. CrayonWrangler...you're going to Hollywood!

Many thanks for all the birthday wishes that were tweeted, facebooked and emailed. I appreciated every one of them.

Happy Birthday To ME!
