You guys have made my birthday wonderful! Thank you all for your kind comments - and those that just can't quite hold their tongue - I can take it, bring it on!
I got off work yesterday and sat outside with some bubbly (surprise, surprise), hubby picked me up and we drove to the mountains and had a fabulous dinner, came home and hit a couple of our favorite watering holes. Then on Saturday a friend picked me up, gave me a pedicure while drinking more bubbly, had lunch, went clothes shopping (and was actually successful in finding things), then we sat on the porch all evening. We threw an impromptu little dinner together that that said "summertime has arrived".
Again, thank you everyone! It was a great birthday.
