cake and more cake

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!! That’s right, it’s my BIRTHDAY and I am so eager to let the drinking begin. Oh the reasons to celebrate. Little story for the day… so, last year I decided to try my first Birthday give-away and can I tell you, in true me fashion, I have yet to mail out the winners little box of goodies! ::so sorry:: I am often delayed, late and I procrastinate like crazy but I never forget… so that little box of goodies will be in the mail soon, I promise. And promises mean the world to me. With that, this year I decided… since I like the whole good to get but great to gift… I will send out a favorite little something to the first three people that wish me Happy Birthday by commenting below! You know like a top three thing. Now the rest of you tell me something great that happened for your Birthday this year. I love reading happy little stories. I’m stoked for my 32nd year… kinda feels like I’ve been building and working towards some new things in my life and good things are going to happen this next year. It just feels right. Lastly, I’m going to donate to a favorite charity ::still deciding:: $10 for each person that comments on this post. Creating some good ol’ celebration cheer, that’s what it’s all about.

Have an amazing weekend! Party Pictures coming soon…

Tonight: my work Holiday party. Friday night: friend’s 2nd Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Party.
Saturday: my Mom gets here {and I’m so excited}. Sunday: the Girls Holiday Dinner.

And all I want to do is catch up on my snapshot taking and movie watching...  

Does it feel like a whirlwind for everyone else right now too? All I know is, it sure does for me.

~ Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to meeeeeee. Happy Birthday to me ~

I know, seems funny to sing to myself but I’m giddy with excitement that today is my BIRTHDAY!

{and you know most blogs are just about yourself anyway}

This year I decided to do something different and have my first giveaway! The giveaway is going to be a surprise because on birthdays who doesn’t love surprises? It will be a few of my favorite things all wrapped up and put together just for you! {well the you whose name I select by using one of those random online name selectors – need to look into that} so anywho… anyone who loves getting free stuff, anyone who follows my blog (or you are a regular reader), and anyone who comments below telling me about your favorite Birthday memory, Birthday treat or even the best Birthday gift you ever got by Dec 10th will have their name entered into the drawing! I will announce the winner on the 15th and have your surprises in the mail soon after! Oh and it’s open for domestic and international – I’m sending this package around the world if I have to – what, what? That’s right. It’s open to everybody. I think I’m feeling a little punchy today or maybe it’s just the overwhelming happy fuzzy feelings left over from last night. Whatever it is, I’m all smiles, giggly and just plain happy!
