Hey, Andrea, It's Your Birthday!

Well, yesterday was the BIG day! I'm officially in my mid-30's (according to my husband)--meaning, I'm 34! Yippee!!!

I was awoken at 7 am with Evan yelling "Happy Birthday Daddy!" It's all about his dad with that kid! Then the other boys came bouncing in the room with a handful of cards (my favorite part of the morning) and with what they thought was my birthday present...If Rob were ever to really get me a vacuum for my birthday (without me specifically asking for it) he'd better turn around and run! Our previous vacuum exploded a few days before so we picked up The Incredible Hulk the night before (yes, we did name our vacuum)! Best feature--the clean/dirty light to help guide my boys. Maybe if it's the vacuum questioning their idea of clean, they won't get so grumpy. Maybe...

Really, my b-day present was the beautiful laptop (Tyjar Evanna--yes, it too has a name) that I'm using right now and that has been constantly glued to my finger tips ever since I received it 2 weeks ago. Between photo editing, blogging, digi scrapping, downloading freebies, e-mailing and just plain old surfing, this gal is always in sight! Did you know that I even got cubital tunnel syndrome from resting my elbow on the desk for too long?? What a loser am I! Now I just relax on the couch without my elbow propped up. Still a loser!

P.S. My kids are being taken care of (by me) just in case there were any who wondered. I may have named my new laptop after them, but they still are what's most important to me...

So, we had lunch at On the Border (I was craving for some Guacamole Live) and then for dinner we had the yummy chocolate cherry cake that Rob and the boys made me. Yes, cake for dinner. In the evening I chopped my hair off (so much for growing it out--I'm the worst at that) and bought some new make-up--so it'll now be a "new me" at age 34!

Oh, darn...we ran out of candles!
