phew. this birthday girl is exhausted. I had a GREAT weekend.. GREAT! My July 4th (pre-birthday celebrations) was super duper, I always look as the 4th as the pre-birthday celebrations. The fireworks are really for me AND America!! Needless to say, there was beer involved, a lot of it. There was beer pong, there was Rock Band, there was pure sillyness, and we all had a great time. Paid for it the next day, but a good time indeed. Except, on heartbreaking detail , my sister/brother in law bought me a COACH wristlet purse for my birthday - it is GORGEOUS - between me opening it, the BBQ goings on, and us leaving - it has disappeared from their humble abode? Did someone take it and think they are being totally funny? Because if they did, plan to have your ass kicked, by moi. I’m heartbroken and depressed. This lovely, lovely gift - is M.I.A. {{tear}}
On a higher note, I was very blessed with lovely gifts from my parents and my BFF Holly… and my dear bloggiefriend Meredith.
My parents got me the Cali Namaste Bag from the Loopy Ewe..and it is SO SO purdy … and IN it, I was totally surprised to find a skein of pretty Claudia Handpainted inside

and …..

This was from my BFF Holly. It’s a great basket, stuff full of Regal (100%!) Silk yarn and a pattern and some lovely needles. YAY!
and.. I’d love to show the FANTASTIC card I got from Meredith, it is all about yarnie fun and the sign she sent was TOO cute, that says “If I’m not here, I’m at STARBUCKS!” So apropos, no? (but I have yet to take a photo of it)
*added* I forgot, Im SO dumb.. our good friends (who used to be our neighbors) had us out for OH SO DELICIOUS ribs and stuff for my birthday. Home made cake & home made ice cream and a lovely ceramic cookie jar, filled with Biscotti’s. A spectacular birthday dinner indeed!
Thanks to everyone near and far for all the fantastic birthday wishes. I love my birthday, I love what it represents. That in these (ahem 37) years of my life, I am lucky enough to have fantastical parents, an awesome husband, beautiful children, a great family, superb friends, have made even more spectacular friends through this little craft we all know and love. When my birthday rolls around, yes, I admit, I do love the attention, but I take a moment or two to look back on the year and just take it in and what I may have accomplished, even failed and what I can improve on in the year to come. This last year, was pretty damn amazing. I did things that I never thought I could, I’ve set goals, I accomplished them. That’s why I love my birthday. Here’s to 37! Bring on 38.
Thanks again you all. You rock.
