i'm sorry because i haven't given you, my faithful readers (hi mom & brea!), an update is so long. but i was wanting to, i just needed to get some photos taken. so here i am. updating...and here's what i have to share...i got an early birthday present from my music man...let me give you some clues....

countdown has begun

so i took a week off -- shoot me.

now i'm back and the countdown to my birthday has begun. we don't have anything planned (that i know of!), and i told my music man that we didn't have to celebrate because i have two nephews that have birthdays around mine, and we should focus on those, not me.

but i still like to have the countdown. and i'll still not open any birthday cards that arrive until the day of my birthday. and everyone has to be nice to me that day, but i really don't need the whole cake and party thing. HOWEVER, presents are always welcome ;)
