Birthday

Let's just start out by saying I love my birthday. I always have. It was a day I always counted down to, did nothing on, and enjoyed to the fullest. Every year it was my own personal major holiday that no one could ruin and I loved every minute. No wait...I didn't like the year 25. That is when I officially felt old and I cried most of the day because of this. Also, the day AFTER I turned 25 is when things started to hurt for random reasons. I have muscles in my elbows that randomly hurt? What?

But this year was different. Even though I had to celebrate another year sans fiance I was able to enjoy it a little more. It started with a gorgeous sunrise painted by my awesome Creator. Normally I'm not awake enough to look out the window in the morning let alone step outside in the cold air to take a picture of the sky but this day was different. Today was my birthday and I was going to enjoy it from the very beginning.

 As the day continued I was at work training my replacement. The first hour was rough as she continued to get more and more frustrated but she eventually calmed down. The work day ended with her telling me "if I'd known everything that this job entailed I would have never applied". Lovely, great, thanks. Not my problem.

I was looking forward to the evening all day. Dinner and dessert with my dear immediate family. Tacos - which were eaten so fast because I LOVE tacos and I was too busy eating 4 of them to take a picture. Then dessert was brownie sundaes. (The red stuff is strawberries in sauce.) This was really my mom's plate (she gave me permission to "instagram that!"). Mine was a much bigger more embarrassing sundae size and let's face it - eaten too fast as well. I love food...

I know I didn't post yesterday so here's a synopsis...I went to Target. Target is a trap and only twice in my life have I gone in and not spent a dime and that was only because I didn't even have a dime to spend. But I went to Target to finish buying my outfit for my shower on Sunday and I spent way too long in the shoes section....

I bought the navy flats because they were cheapest but they were too small and their getting returned tomorrow when I will go back and try to keep my spending's under $30...wish me luck because we all know that ain't easy. And that darn dollar section sucks me in every time...anyone else feel the need to buy something from it because "it's only a dollar" and "if I don't buy it now, it might not be here next time"?...yeah I figured I'm not alone.

I did hear from my fiance briefly today via facebook. Hopefully I'll hear from him this weekend - knowing my luck it will be in the middle of my bridal shower. Bring it on.

*update for Target* I spent almost $60 but half of that was birthday money so...technically I was still within budget!
