Today is my 33rd birthday. It’s been lovely. This morning, Clark was up at seven. SB took him away and gave me two blissful hours of earplug-cocoon sleep. When I got up, I found Clark napping and SB mopping, so I took a shower. (Clark sleeping, SB mopping, me bathing? What a miraculous trifecta!) Normally such a detail in someone’s day would not be worth sharing, but I’m sure the moms among you can attest to the noteworthy naure of getting a shower.
SB was able to get away from work for a little while in the middle of the day, so I got to get away. I got a mani, my first in a million years. Then I went to the mall (I will never again go to the mall without thinking about Robin Sparkles.) where I did one large, efficient, sweep through Macy’s, combing through rack after rack, loading my arms with about 35 shirts. I waited until the attendant was distacted and darted into the 4 garment limit changing room, where I tried on all 35 of them in about 3.5 minutes. (Always returning them properly to their hangers, of course. I worked retail.)
Anyway, there was some shopping. Then I went home and took a nap with Clark. It was very warm and snuggly.
We were about to leave for dinner at my parent’s house when all of a sudden I felt like making people meet us for drinks later. I called my mom and asked her if she would watch Clark. She said yes, though I did notice a weird pause. Then I started sending a text to about 10 people and SB had to tell me to Stop It, Please Ms Cruise Director, that it was already planned, my mom was in, and some pals were already meeting us at The Tempest and there were going to be cupcakes. Nice, eh? He’s a good one.
So then there was dinner at my parent’s house. It was lovely as always to hang out with my parents and sister, my SB, and my baby. I’m so lucky. And then drinks and cupcakes with fun friends.
So. Lucky.
It was a great day! I do plan to do my annual Birthday Goal Post, hopefully tomorrow.
Happy Birthday, Jenny! I am so sorry that I couldn’t join in the festivities. Darn it all, I come home just a little too late. But, I look forward to seeing you in the coming days! And, of course all moms get the blissful shower time. Enjoy it all!
Happy Happy Birthday!
Robin Sparkles! Oh how I love HIMYM. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! What an awesome family you have that takes such good care of you.
Oh, and did you BUY any of the 35 shirts? Fashion show! Fashion show! Fashion show during Clark’s nap!
How sneaky! I am glad you had a great birthday.
Happy Birthday and you look just gorgeous! (not that Clark is anyone to turn your nose up at either)
Happiest of Birthdays, Jenny! It sounds like you were treated oh so nicely on your big day. Nails, shower, not to mention Aaron mopping! Wish I could have baked that cupcake for you myself.
Looking forward to the new resolution post. I look forward to reading yours every year. No pressure though. However, you did just call this your “Jesus Year.”
So happy to hear your day was filled with great moments!
xoxo
Sounds like a great day! Happy Birthday!
What a gorgeous picture of you! Happy (belated) Birthday!
Cupcakes look yummy! Can’t wait for the birthday goal post!
Thanks, everyone! Birthdays are the best!
