As stated in my previous post, Tuesday was my birthday. Please note, this was my 42nd birthday. With that in mind, pay strict attention to the candles on the cake. My kids have such wonderful senses of humor (and grace ) I Heart my kids completely.

Is this just not the bestest cake? I’m such a sucker for pink and butterflies and polkadots.  But my favorite part is that thanks to my kids, I get to be 24 again!

And of course, who could resist all this great lute! Roses… oh my.

OH, and in the bag? A bag of my fave Starbucks Coffee and this….

My two favorite creatures in the entire universe (children and dogs not included)

A dragonfly and a turtle. I LOVE IT!

I’m sitting here in this freakin sauna of an office, totally excited about some recent developments.

(1) My 42nd Birthday was Tuesday and I did not immediately turn into an old crone.

(2) The birds that have decided to nest in my office had hatchlings overnight. I woke this morning to hear little “chirp chirp” sounds - either they had babies or I’ve got a lot of crickets.

(3) I got an exciting offer for my company that just may prove to be my most adventurous and lucrative offer yet! WOO HOO!

(4) I won Alpha Woman of the Week! I’ll get a t-shirt (Can a girl ever have enough t-shirts? I think not!) and a gift basket from StaysWetLonger.com.
