My birthday was yesterday. I turned 39 ...um I mean 29?

I was dreading my birthday, especially after reading back over my blog with the drama from last year.

I had an AMAZING day though, probably one of the best days/birthdays in a very very long time.

Tuesday night -- the night before --Ash showed up after work having stopped at the store and bought me Rotisserie chicken, delicious mashed potatoes, and garlic bread. YUM. She was in class on Wednesday night so couldn't be there. It was WONDERFUL and so sweet.

Wednesday I come into my office filled with balloons and presents from my co-workers. I got this amazing iron cat, a wonderful bottle of wine, Outback gift cards, flowers and this really cute photo frame.

My daughter Tiffany took me out to lunch, and not just a deli sandwich, actually Chili's a sit down amazing lunch. And she paid! I think that was one of the first times any one of my kids actually picked up the check. It was so sweet and thoughtful.

I got tons of text messages from friends and family, phone calls and facebook posts!

Charley came home with a balloon --which of course Bub took -- and angel food cake.

Then Adrienne and Ashley's gift was two tickets to the Peter and Paul (of Peter Paul and Mary) concert in October I have totally wanted tickets too!

The girls watched bub and Charley and I went out to an amazing dinner at the La Jolla Strip Club.. yummm, granted we had to cook our own steak but that was fun. After dinner we hit their bar and I had an amazing amazing bloody mary. We asked the bartender if she could make a non spicy one -- they use a mix which is spicy but she said she was up to making one from scratch. Yummy

Got home, and Charley I even had time to get into the hot tub for a little relaxing.

It really was a great day.

My only regret is that I was so freaking tired -- the night before I couldn't fall asleep until after 2 and then Z woke up at 4:30 and got into bed with us and refused to go back to sleep. So I was SOOOO tired.

But you know, if that was the worst part of the day....

I really actually felt loved!

Oh yeah, and I think my dad forgot it was my birthday because I didn't get any messages from him. LOL oh well.
