It's my Birthday


It is that day again already!
Seems like they are coming around a little more quickly these days.
Hubby got up this morning a fixed breakfast. Very nice. Thank you baby.
I opened some gifts-I had gotten one several weeks ago and some last night at church.
I am big about not opening them until "the day". Sometimes I make it-- sometimes I don't.
I woke to birthday wishes from Coke, Clairol and Carnival Cruise lines(alas- no gift certificate for a free cruise, that would have been a nice touch)--they really shouldn't have. :)
Dear sweet Karen --my tomorrow girl--sent me some sweet things from all the way from over on the other side of the world. I love it girl. I have a "thing" about pens--you were right on tract there. And it will be cool to read something that you thought was great. The chocolate had a rough trip but the rest made it fine. Thank you for thinking of me.
I also have a thing about red birds. They are a visual reminder of Gods love--I did a post about them awhile back. So Linda, thank you for the special reminder-I can't believe you found something like that. I guess if I don't get to go to a mountain hideaway for my birthday--I can enjoy looking at one. I loved it.

Plans for the rest of the day?
Keith is going to take Paw Paw, and I am going to spend some time using the gift certificate Keith gave me. I am going to have my first facial and spray on tan. Now, I have done neither of these before. I am a little nervous about the spray on tan. I have a mental picture of turning into a oumpa loompa from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
I told my pastors wife that at least it will have started to fade before I have to go back to church.
I guess if Beth Moore can do it--so can I.
I'll let ya'll know tomorrow how it went. They say it takes 24 hours to show up.
24 hours of wondering if I have turned into something that sprung from a Florida orange grove. :)
Then I am going to strectch myself a little further and go to lunch at a Mediterranean restaurant with two of my girls. This will probably be more of a stretch for Linda--my country girl.

As for the rest of the day--we will see.
So far so good.
42--not looking bad so far!
Love you guys and thank you for the birthday wishes!

Happy Birthday Sharon!!! I am going to write it on my calendar, so I can remember it.

Sheila Walsh spoke about her first spray on tan...and called it the gas chamber (she was really afraid). She said, do not open your mouth to scream when it begins :) It really was hilarious!

I pray your day is full and happy and just the way you'd like it to be.
Love,
Holly

Happy Belated Birthday! What a day, a facial, tan, and lunch with your girls and Tracey making the surprise visit!! That was priceless. I am going to a Greek Festival today and I am not sure about the food. I will have to post about it later today. Mexican is my favorite.
Have a blessed weekend.
