Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterday was my 14th wedding anniversary, and today is my birthday. David had two-dozen roses delivered to me yesterday at school. Aren't they beautiful? I just love having fresh flowers on my table; it feels so luxurious and makes me smile every time I look at them.

This morning my parents called to wish me a happy birthday, then the doorbell rang, and it was the postman with a package. It was a beautiful charm bracelet from Paul and Lisa. Then, my friend Gayla took me to lunch, and we had that wonderful hot chocolate cake from Chili's with the ice cream on top. Yummy! This afternoon both of my sisters and my cousin called to wish me a Happy Birthday. I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful, caring people in my life.








I love getting packages in the mail. That's why I was so excited when I received this one the other day.










This doesn't look so bad.








But upon further inspection, this is what I found...





This is the harmless looking needle that left the little bruise and red spot on my tummy last night. I'm feeling a little gun-shy tonight. I think I'll try my thigh again. I'll let you know how it goes.
