Happy Birthday to Me

Thank you all for the good wishes today! I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around how old I really am, but let's dwell on the positives. Eliza was GREAT all day today, which is the best birthday present she could give me. Good naps, good spirits, good sport at playgroup. Maybe a few more poopy diapers than would really be considered necessary, but that's a post for another time. She even danced to "Dancing Queen," just to show how much she loves her mommy. (It was actually pretty cool. She likes to "dance" - i.e. bounce up and down - so I said to her, "okay, dancing queen, let's turn on the radio and maybe they'll play the real 'Dancing Queen.'" I turned on the XM and literally the next song on was that one. I laughed, so she laughed. I sang and she happily danced. Happy Birthday!)

We did presents at home last night since Mac is traveling today and tomorrow. Eliza got me a couple of books - one for me and one for me to read to her, since she thought I might be getting bored with the selection. However, as I told Sarah, there are only a few books she really really likes, so we'll have to see if the new book passes muster. It will be hard for anything to achieve the splendor that is Alice the Fairy.

Mac gave me beautiful blue opal earrings (to replace the blue opal necklace from Australia that vanished shortly before our wedding - so sad) and tickets to "Forbidden Broadway," which should be lots of fun.

And now, since I haven't showed up in this blog yet...not bad for an old girl, yes?
