My Birthday

Monday was my birthday and I have to say it was totally fun and relaxing. Just the way a birthday should be.

Here are some of the ways I celebrated:

• -- Didn't go to work (very important!)
• -- Slept in
• -- Read birthday cards
  
• -- Met friends Jim, Kristina and Elena for ice cream (my favorite food!)
  
• -- Shopping - bought new clothes and shoes (spent some money that came in the cards)
• -- Lovely dinner at Romano's Macaroni Grill in Lynnwood

Thanks to those who sent birthday cards. I got a really beautiful selection of cards this year including some funny ones. One of my favorites had this great quote:

"Birthdays are like chocolates ... you never want to admit how many you've had!"

Amen to that. :)

Of course one of my favorite things in the world is spending time with good friends so I loved hanging out for a bit with Jim, Kristina and Elena. Thanks guys for making my birthday special!

Here is a little slideshow of Elena eating her ice cream. If you would like see a super short movie of her "riding the ponies" head on over to Cozzie's Clippings. Yes, that's a pony she's holding. Maybe you've figured out that Elena likes ponies!
