Happy Birthday to you

My birthday was last week, last Thursday to be exact. I did not want it to happen, I did not want to hear "Happy Birthday, receive any cards, gifts or even have a cake...I did not want my birthday dammit !! Sounds silly now because regardless of my demand my birthday still came and I am another year older. I still feel the same and look the same so why the fuss ?

I think I did not want to be yet another year older because of where I am in my life at this point, I did not expect to be back at square one sort to speak...least I am wiser now, least I hope. 

However my day turned out to be great due to my wonderful family and friends. My "Aunt Lou Lou" got me an awesome candle I guess melter from Yankee Candle ( I am obsessed with turtles ) my oldest daughter gave me soap from Bath and Body Works and  Disney dollars and my parents also gave me Disney dollars ( can you guess where we maybe be going this year at some point ?! ) My best friend got me my first Alex and Ani bracelet. It's not about the gifts, it was about them showing me they cared enough to celebrate the day I gifted the world with my presence ...bahaha just kidding but you know what I mean. I received phone calls from good friends who remembered and it just felt nice. I am glad nobody listened to me :-) 

I am going to post some pics of my gifts and of my cake, please do not drool on your keyboards ( yes it was that good )
