Its the MOST wonderful time of the year!!!

Usually Christmas is that time. But I actually like fall better because it is all about the anticipation, and the dreamy ideal of how AWESOME I will make the upcoming favorite season, without actually have to DO anything yet- or screw anything up yet. Its all about the fantasy.....

And it starts every year with my birthday! Its the date that kicks off the holidays for me. (the "holidays" include halloween around here:)

BIRTHDAY RECAP:

Awesome awesome birthday this year. WOOT! I got money in the mail, a pedicure, a Target card, a new MP3 that totally rocks, I love it. Mark always makes an effort for me, which I really appreciate. Thanks, baby!! :D Today I got up ...and a mystery friend had put up tons of streamers and balloons outside my house and garage. I was SO surprised and I loved it!! I don't know who it was, although I have an idea....:D I did my run, then we went to a movie (Dayton went to a friends house before school, fun!) and had a yummy club wrap for lunch. After the kids got home I went and got a massage at the Chiropracter and while I was gone Mark and Sadie went and got me a birthday cake. I made an easy dinner, Then the kids and Mark sang to me and we ate cake. It was such a great birthday, and thank you SO much to everyone who called me today (and yesterday!!) and sent me birthday posts, I feel so loved. MWAH!

Im feeling like I will be incorporating the painting of upstairs walls into my fall cleaning schedule. The paint is just sitting there, waiting for me to get serious. FUN!
