30 Was Yesterday

Yesterday was my 30th birthday. I managed to stay offline for most of it – that felt good. I do have my new BlackBerry so I wasn’t completely disconnected! I had a really good day.

The highlight wasn’t crafting, it wasn’t reading or going somewhere. The highlight was my nap. For some reason in the middle of the afternoon I was exhausted. All the kids were laying down so I did too. I figure hey a twenty minute nap might be good! Two hours later I wake up to find all the kids woke up before me. I bundled them into the car and we went to get dinner supplies. Okay really we went to get cake mix because I wanted cupcakes. Once we got to the store I decided to make chili. Yum!

So I could show you that I shopped for cake mix

and then a picture of the yummy cupcake!

But that would be kind of mean wouldn’t it. 😉

I still have a lot left if you want to stop by. I was going to make 30 but only ended up with 28. I could have made 29, but I don’t think 30. Ah well. We didn’t have candles though the kids wanted to get numbers.

My brother got me a bluetooth headset – he said he doesn’t want me having to grab the phone when I’m on the drive to Texas (a post about Texas soon) –

and I won AirDrives kids earphones from A Mom’s Review contest – and they arrived yesterday! Fun timing.

My Mom sent me a beautiful horse pin

and a book This Life She’s Chosen – signed by the author!

My Dad is looking for a phone cradle – never having heard of what that is, my brother explained it is a holder for your phone that (his did this anyway) attached to the vent. So it just sits there while you drive! Very cool.

Both of my brothers have this weekend off so I think we will have a cookout. The weather has been nice here, sure we have some rain, but overall good.

I’ve been lucky, I’ve always had great birthdays. Today I am 30 and a day (technically not until the middle of the afternoon) and it is just as good as yesterday.
