FF

Yay, it’s Friday again!! I don’t know about you, but I am VERY ready for this week to be over.

We’ve got dinner tonight with R’s parents, then the rest of the weekend is MINE. Why, you ask? Because Sunday is my birthday, so I just like to claim the whole weekend as my own. Because I want to and I can. 🙂

How old are you going to be, SM? Well, I would love to say I’ll be about 28. So I’ll just say I’m turning 28 + 4. Blech, 32. That sounds old and gross to me. I know 32 is not old by any stretch of the imagination, but I still don’t like my age not starting with a 2. You’d think after 3 non-2-starting birthdays I’d be over it and used to it by now, but no, I don’t think I really am. I liked being in my 20s. No, I loved being in my 20s. 30s just doesn’t have the same nice ring to it. Ah well, nothing I can do to stop that gravy train of aging.

I like to treat myself to something each year for my birthday, usually something spa-related, and I’m not stopping this year. Tomorrow I’m working out with my trainer first thing in the morning, then getting a pedicure in the afternoon. Ahh… my toes haven’t seen paint since sometime last year, so this is loooong overdue. I hate painting my own toenails, so pedis delight me beyond belief. I have nothing planned for my actual birthday itself. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so I can sit outside in some sunshine, see the wonderfully-mulched gardens blooming (finally!), maybe take the babe for a walk, and enjoy some nice warm fresh air.

This birthday is special for one reason though, and that’s what I have today for the FF. My very first Mother’s Day as a mom is on my birthday! How cool is that? I am very much looking forward to spending the day doing not much of anything except enjoying the best Mother’s Day present I could have ever asked for – D.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers and mothers-to-be out there!
