I got a birthday makeover!

I’m sure you’re all noticing my new look! I have Marina of Penny Lane Designs to thank for it. I love the little sparkle on the word “extra.”

I turned the big 2-6 today. Exciting stuff! I want to send shout out thank yous to my favorite bloggers in the world, Cyndi and Mojito Maven. They both wrote really sweet posts today about my birthday. I’m so glad that blogging has brought so many great friends into my life. I had the privilege of meeting Mojito Maven in Dallas and I’m looking forward to meeting Cyndi over Thanksgiving break.

I’ve had a pretty good day today. Birthdays start to feel just like any other day as you get older and farther away from college days. Todd gave me some great gifts this morning including the acorn cakelet pan from Williams-Sonoma, the gold J.Crew driving mocs, and that pink and gold Diane von Furstenberg dress that I found on serious sale at Shop it to Me. We had dinner reservations at one of my favorite restaurants in town, but I’m not feeling great today, so we decided to cancel the reservations and save them for a day when my appetite is in great shape. My favorite flower shop delivered some gorgeous ginger and birds of paradise to my office today and some coworkers surprised me with some great books and donuts. All in all, a great day!

    What a fun day! I just wish you were feeling better so you could enjoy a nice dinner out. Although, sometimes its even nicer to just be home in comfy clothes surrounded by your favorite things. I hope you have a lovely evening and feel better!!

    You mentioned Todd gave you your gifts this morning…is that when you normally open your b-day presents? My guess is yes since that’s when I open mine and, as you know, we’re quite similar. Except for the age anyway πŸ™‚

    Happy Birthday my friend!!

    p.s. Mmmm…I’m totally craving a piece of that cake. I’m about to head over to Bakerella for the recipe.
