I absolutely LOVE celebrating birthdays and finding little gifts that I just know the person will love! I like to keep in mind the birthdays of those whom I love that are coming up within the next few months and keep my eyes peeled for a little something that they will truly appreciate. The problem with this is always the same...I end up so excited to see their reactions that I feel like kicking myself for buying the gift so far ahead. You just can't win!
Although commemorating others' birthdays means a lot to me and gives me great pleasure, I don't share the same sentiment when it comes to my own birthday. Lee totally disagrees with this view and made every effort to get me super excited for Sunday (yesterday) as it was my birthday on the 21st. The whole week (and weeks before that!) he badgered me for a wishlist and teased the living daylights out of me when I said "nothing" every time. Needless to say, between him and my cousin Kathryn they made pretty darn sure that I wasn't able to forget that it was my birthday.
I want to kick myself (again!) for not taking any pictures (How could I not take pictures!?!), but I was having such a good time (perhaps too good!) to even think of my phone, camera or capturing the glamorous and not-so glamorous escapades we got up to. Maybe it's better I didn't take any after all.
I had a blast of a time and it turns out it's the best birthday I've ever had regardless of my initial reservations. These two chops are absolutely completely to blame!
All-in-all, I was spoiled rotten with very thoughtful gestures, gifts and cards (I refer to Lee's card that says I fall asleep in front of the TV - #Guilty) and special time spent with people who truly matter to me. Such good times!
I would like to take this opportunity to publicly declare that Lee and I are now the same age and that I am not a grave robber anymore neither is he a cradle snatcher. I can sleep in peace at night.
Boy it took a long time to catch up!
