My birthday was good. There were a couple moments where I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it the way I had hoped for but it all turned out well in the end. There were decorations put up by a very sweet 10 year old in the house. There was untold torment unleashed on me by the males under 6 in the household. (I was really ready to sell them.) I was surprised with new earrings and a bracelet by the folks I live with and a yummy dessert pizza from a gracious neighbor. After my celebratory shot of tequila, Alan and I made a run to TJMaxx so I could decompress after the boy insanity of the day. I lucked into a really fun pair of shoes that made my day.

Friday was an amazing day... after all the children were dropped off at school and preschool. I went for a whirlwind shopping spree in search of something to match my new shoes. Yes, I am that silly but I ended up with a really fun birthday outfit. :) I was overwhelmed with the racks and racks of clothing at the first place I went. I hit the next place and when they asked if they could help me I grabbed hold of them by their ankles and wouldn't let go. I begged them to dress me. I asked for age appropriate hottie. I do believe I got it. I felt great.

Next on the agenda was spa time! I didn't wait around for someone to put this little package together for me. I did it all by myself, just like a big girl. I had a lovely massage, body polish (fancy words for sugar scrub all that itchy winter skin off), and a pedicure. And while the fun we had next was super, I think I will plan on pajamas, takeout, and a movie at home after a spa day. I was a noodle after. It took a bit of work to pull it together to get ready for a night out on the town.

We had an amazing meal, but I better not have to wait until next year to repeat it. Birthday dessert was had and then we were on our way to dance off those crazy calories. I danced and danced and danced. I was sweaty and exhausted and totally loved every minute of it. I am pretty sure my friends thought I was crazy. Thanks for great food, super friends, and cute shoes in which to dance the night away. :)
