Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My friend Casey emailed on Friday, after catching up on my blog, to say that thanks to me he had his "adult entertainment" all lined up for the weekend. Ha! So glad I am helping people.

My purple shoes arrived this week (thanks, Mom!), and I'm loving them. I really think every girl needs a pair of purple shoes. Friend Chris suggests posting a picture in shoes. Maybe sometime.

My chef friend Jeremy made me delicious lavender cupcakes as a pre-birthday treat. Thank you very much! He also gave me a hilarious card on things to do while being serenaded Happy Birthday to You. The one I usually go with is smile politely but avoid eye contact, but other suggestions include awkwardly sing along (Happy Birthday....to...uh...me), balance your check book, heckle (you call that singing?!?). Good advice I'll have to keep in mind, as I always find people staring at me and singing particularly mortifying. Maybe will avoid that this year. Thanks to Emily for making appointments for us at Spa Noir for facials this weekend. That was a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Thanks to all of my friends for planning fun things (mostly involving good food) for my birthday! You are wonderful, and I'm looking forward to spending time with you.
