No Longer The Answer to Everything
I am 43 today.
I am just having a spectacular day, too.
Want to see some of my presents? Here's one that really meant a lot to me. In fact, it made me cry. I feel so blessed to have the good friends I have --it's like I feel about my marriage. I don't know how I got so lucky but my heart overflows with gratitude for your presence in my life.
Thank you.
Each of my siblings AND my parents called me today--isn't that just so nice? My BFF in Canada sent me the most beautiful card that she'd handmade--because she can do things like that.
My Austin BFF made me THESE:
My husband had my van detailed. My kids made me cards and had little trinkets they'd picked out with their dad. My BFF at the kids' school came over for dinner and allowed me to totally mess up my kitchen--a luxury I haven't allowed myself since the house went on the market. The weather was beautiful, I got my hair cut, I met my BFF Laura for lunch, and everything was peaceful and full of fun and reminders of how lucky I am.
And Edward? Edward gave me this:
I feel about Edward's feet like the person Elizabeth Berg quotes in one of her books (I would give an actual reference but apparently, that book is now in a box) where the person is asked to tell the best presents he's ever received. And he thinks for a bit and then he says, "You know the way cats sometimes run sideways? That."

(I was going to try for all husky & Marilyn Monroe, but I couldn't figure out how to get that across in type...)
Sounds like the day was perfect, just like you!
Love ya!
