32

Today is my thirty-second birthday and I have to admit I am excited. At 5 am this morning, Todd kissed me goodbye and after that I couldn't go back to sleep. I laid in my nice warm bed thinking about what I had planned, and as simple as my day is going to be, I actually had butterflies in my stomach! This year, my age just doesn't seem to matter. I'm not sure if its because I've had 2 years to adjust to the big "3-0" or if I am just ready to embrace getting older. Whatever the reason, I feel good. My plans today consist of meeting my mom for lunch at Red Lobster, doing a little shopping and getting my HAIR done at a nice salon. The latter makes me most excited because it has been a year and a half since I've stepped into a salon that actually makes me feel a little glamorous. Usually, I visit the local "$10 Special" salon to get my split ends cut off. Today, I want to feel special. Today, I am splurging just a bit because after 3 pm my day of fun ends and my "mom" job takes over. So, for the next 5 1/2 hours, I celebrate my body getting older and hopefully my brain getting just a bit wiser.

Happy Birthday to me!
