Have Your Cake and Eat It Too

In my side of the family, everyone shares a birthday with someone. Well, except me. Typically we get together and lump several birthdays in to one celebration. Last night I hosted the July & August birthdays.

From left to right is my mom (Aug 8) my niece (born 8-8-08 at 8:08 am I kid you not!), myself (July 28) and my nephew (July 6) who shares a birthday with his great grandmother on his father's side.


I think the photo of my niece above says it all - enjoy life and eat cake by the fistful!

38 Candles

Today is my birthday. I am 38. I don't feel 38.

I know people have resolutions at the New Year and I do that. But, every year on my birthday I resolve to change some things. Sometimes they are just reminders or re-dedications of what I resolved to do in January.

Honestly, I would like a Mulligan but since that is not possible until someone actually discovers the space/time continuum then I will have to resolve to do things the old fashioned way.

1. Career change. I don't what all will be involved, higher education, just jumping in with both feet - maybe winning the lottery?
   
2. Consumer debt free. We have a plan in place and we are working our plan.


3. Better health. Back to eating better and exercising.
   
4. Quality time. I love you all out in bloggerville but I need to spend quality time with the hubs.

Happy birthday to me!
