Happy Birthday to Me :)

Yesterday was my 30th birthday. I was nervous about how it would turn out, but I should have known... I had a GREAT day yesterday!!! The principal announced that I was 21, so I laughed a lot because the kids believed him. Throughout most of the day, kids were telling me "happy birthday" and some sang to me (groups of girls AND boys!), I got phone calls, text messages, emails, messages on Facebook, and cards in the mail. It really makes me realize how many people look after me :)
Here are a few highlights:

These awesome M&M's socks came from Mrs. Chadwick (a teacher at my school). Love them!

These flowers were sent to me by my cute, dear friend, Susan. Happy Birthday tomorrow!!

This cute pot of wheat grass is from Neighbor (Jeanie Vance). Yay for color added to my room!

These 6 cookies were from the lunch ladies at my school: Whitney, Sherri (Carpet Lady), Becky, and Shirlene. YUMMY!!!

Allison gave me the Perfect Roomie Barbie.
In this picture, PR Barbie has a scrubbing pad in her left hand, a post office briefcase in her right hand, and there's a bottle of Pledge Multi-Dusting Surface Spray in the corner. Her skirt says 'I (heart) cleaning!' I missed it in the picture, but there's a little warning sticker on the bottom of the box: Warning - only flaw is her sense of modesty.

Perfect Roomie Barbie is your dream come true when it come to a roommate!

• You'll never catch her sneaking in your cupboards. She has all her food organized on HER fridge shelf.
• Dirty, smelly dishes? Not in your home. They're already done!
• Think she'll be needing a ride? Nope! She comes equipped with her own set of wheels along with a spare key for you too!
• Lastly... she always responds promptly to "Honey I'm Home" and little red Christmas bows.

What more could you need?

This side of the box says: She has a full time job at the ... Post Office - so you'll never have to wonder about rent or possible late night guests.

This side: She is considerate! "What would YOU like to watch tonight?" Always a Plus!

This is so full of 'inside' jokes that there's no way I could explain it all... but a perfect gift from a former roommate :)
I'm sure I'll be posting more later... I have a couple dinners still to attend - for my birthday. I like how it gets stretched out over a month :) Lucky me!
I'm so grateful to have so many good, wonderful friends who like me for who I am and like being around me -- and like me being around them! Thank you to all who are a part of my life; you are AWESOME!!!
