Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is the 4th anniverary of my 29th birthday. I still find it hard to believe that I'm now well into my 30s. I got to scoot right on by the 30th birthday festivities, because I had just given birth to Alex. I don't usually like a huge fuss made over my birthday. Okay, that's a total lie. I love a big fuss! Presents, cake, food, drink, you name it! I love any reason to celebrate, so I actually do like my birthday. My three nephews just called and sang "Happy Birthday." The oldest sang it opera style, the middle one sang normal, and the youngest one attempted to burp the whole song. That made my day.

Alex, Craig and I went to the Milwaukee County Zoo this morning. We saw the Birds of Prey show which was very cool. We also road the train around the zoo. Two things we have never done before.

I logged into my email to find I won a giveaway on Tip Junkie. A beautiful bracelet from Beads by Amanda K! Amanda's stuff is gorgeous and reasonably priced. Go check her out! I know I'll be checking her stuff out again soon. That was a great birthday surprise.

Oh, and be sure to check out this week's final SITS giveaway. They're giving away an Ipod Nano. I think this would be a great thing to help me with my running! So head on over there, and tell them Sydney sent you!

More birthday posting (hopefully pictures!) tomorrow!

Happy Happy Birthday to you!
(Would it make you feel any better to know I'll be celebrating my 14th birthday later this year? ;) Enjoy toddlerdom, and know that the teens are MUCH more fun the second time around!)

Have a great one!

Happy Birthday!
Next week I'll celebrate the 17th anniversary of my 29th birthday! See, you thought you were old!

Happy birthday to you!!!

By your method of calculation, I'll be having the 8th anniversary of my 29th bday this December. I'm not sure if that sounds better than "later 30s" or not, hmmm. Then again, I think I can still claim "mid-30s" for one more year, as 37 is still midway between 35 and 40!

Anyhoo, I hope you are having a wonderful, wonderful birthday! :) Today's also the first anniversary of when my daughter won her evil goldfish - the one who tried to kill me earlier this week - so we consider it the fishy's birthday too. You share your birthday with an evil goldfish, you lucky girl!

Okay, mega comment ramble going on, so I'll sign off with one last Happy Birthday! :D

Happy Birthday from one July baby to another! And how nice that you spent it with your family. I'm the grumpy one that just wants them all to leave me alone :-)

We celebrated a bit late...and went to see Mama Mia. Most fun!

Happy 29th Birthday...again! :D

Glad it was a great one! The only person that always makes a big deal about birthdays is my mom...she is all about special breakfast, lunch, dinner, cake, presents.

Enjoy!

1. Thirty-three is not well into your thirties. Thirty-nine and a half is well into your thirties.

2. I have seen the Birds of Prey and I have ridden that Tiny Train. And I have the tee shirt.

3. Do you have any idea what a relief it is to me that you actually are thirty-three? I am well aware that many of the blogs are read ... well, I could be there mother. There is no way I could be your mother because at sixteen I was still sewing clothes for my Barbie dolls.

4. I was going to say thirty-three things that I like about you but I am stopping here. It is like I have ADFOPBOSLT (Attention Defecit For Other People's Birthday's Or Something Like That).

Happy B-lated birthday. I will also celebrate my 4th anniversary of my 29th birthday tomorrow. I love that. I was afraid I was going to have to turn 33.

And the Brewers won on your birthday too. If you had a few more birthdays, maybe in September, it might be really good for the team.
