That is how many days until my next birthday. And this year I had to wait an extra day because of leap year; what's up with that?

I had a pretty good day yesterday. Due to the circumstances, dh was actually home and got up with LC who has turned into an early riser. When I did get up after enjoying some quiet time watching TV by myself, I was greeting by two little girls saying, "Happy birthday!" The fun thing is they kept it up all day. EE didn't let me forget it was my birthday or that I was 33. I got to wear a sticker that said "#1 Mom" all day--what more do I need? (money, a watch, clothes, cute shoes, a spring handbag)

Dh did come through on the present front, he is usually pretty good. That happens when you give him a list about a month and a half ahead of time. ;) Once again EE thought everything I got was super cool, including underwear. (Yes I'm 33 and I got underwear for my birthday--it was from VS). I also got the latest Harry Potter movie which we haven't seen because I haven't seen a movie in a theater since Lord of the Rings what, 5 years ago? And I got me some nice smelly stuff from Sephora, my new favorite store (thanks, kdotp!!). I also got some cold hard cash. I asked dh if I should forego buying anything for me with it and put it toward groceries instead.

We splurged one last time and went out to eat. I also requested a Starbucks coffee for dessert and had made myself cookies. All in all it wasn't that bad of a day. It beats last year when we were stuck inside for 4 days due to a blizzard. We had delicious Pizza Hut pizza for supper and a couple of things dh ordered for me didn't make it on time due to the snow. Fun times!
