Happy birthday to me

I’ve had a lovely 1st week of the birthday Mardi Gras – that’s what My Honey calls the two week period (one week before and one week after) that encompasses the birthday celebration. 

I got the presents from my husband and kids this evening before we went out to dinner with my extended family.  The Bandit was so cute.  He handed me his gift bag and said, “It’s all in red because red is the color of love.”  How damn cute is that?

I received earrings and bookends of the Eiffel Tower, an awesome foot massager, funny movies, wine and a lovely blouse.  My extended family got me book gift certificates (!!!!!) and beautiful necklaces.  My mom-in-law gave me extra sunglasses – a genius gift – because I am forever coveting hers.

I really love my birthday.

The present I was really hoping for didn’t come today.  The call from the Agent is now scheduled for tomorrow, Friday in the morning.  It is becoming harder and harder for me to sleep.  If something comes up tomorrow and the call doesn’t happen, I’m sure I will simply keel over from the stress and anticipation.

Stay tuned.  As soon as I know the scoop, I’ll share with you all.
