Another Year Older

Today was my 31st birthday. Well, yesterday was since it is after midnight here. It was a nice day and once again I go to bed thankful for my wonderful life.

I had lunch with my friend J. today at Panera. We sat and talked for almost 2 hours. We always have so much to talk about even though we talk or see each other almost every day. She makes jewelry and gave me a beautiful pair of earrings today that no one else has yet. I love them and maybe you can see them in these pictures. Here is her website if you want to check out her stuff. Chella's Collection at www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5547205

After lunch I went shopping.....for the baby of course. :) I can see how life changes once you become a mom, you no longer think of yourself, everything is for the kids. I went to Target, a couple thrift stores and the mall before heading home for dinner. We ordered Pizza Hut and had our friends the Potters over. They brought me a bouquet of flowers and P. had ordered a Costco sheet cake for dessert. My favorite, chocolate with chocolate icing. The only thing missing was my friend Ling who I always enjoy Costco cakes with. I received a lot of phone calls and cards and P. brought home a beautiful flower arrangement for me. It was an all around nice day. The sun was even out today. Don't let that fool you though, it was barely 20 degrees. I thought a couple times today that this was my last birthday without children. From here on out I am a mom. Weird.
