Yvonne told me about the great wrapping paper at Hobby Lobby. She even posted a picture of what she bought. Needless to say, I think I got the better paper! I have to admit, I am NOT hoarding this paper. There are actually gifts underneath my Christmas tree wrapped in this gorgeous paper. AND, I bought curling ribbon to match. So, excited!

OK. It's true. I AM another year older. Probably another gray hair to add to the list. Hopefully, not another wrinkle.

I had a great day on Sunday. Scott remembered my birthday WITHOUT being reminded! He gave me a 1/2 dozen red roses, which I loved, and which promted some pictures of the girls (will post those later). He also got me a 1/4 sheet cake. Like that will really help the diet, or lack thereof. He and the girls gave me the cutest cards.

Um, and my friends....well, I spoke with Yvonne that morning, who did NOT remember my birthday. However, Stephanie called me around noon to wish me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Mind you, I even spoke with my little sister that morning, who did NOT remember my birthday. Yvonne eventually remembered later on that day, as did Kristy and all my sisters. My little year-and-a-half-old niece called to sing happy birthday to me in her little adorable voice!!

Two of my other girlfriends remembered yesterday...LOL! I can honestly say that it doesn't bother me one bit, because every year goes by and a lot of people forget my birthday. I think that because it's so close to Christmas, it takes a while for it to register.

I remember one year, my dad called me at work to wish me a happy birthday. My dad...who doesn't normally say HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Then, the next question out of his mouth was "And how old are you this year?" Hmmmm...um, I was the first child. And, he didn't remember. :D I can't say I remember how many years ago this occurred, but I remember that day. No one else remembered until around 8 o'clock that night!

Other than that, it was a great day! I stayed around the house for the most part. Finishing the Christmas tree. Cleaning. That is, until I had to go to Target to get more Christmas lights for the tree. So, add in, shopping for lights and a few teachers gifts. All in all, a very relaxing day. Top that off with a visit from my in-laws, which I am ALWAYS happy to see!

It was a nice day!

P.S. Promise....will post my Twilight review soon!

OK, my friends have all blogged about the movie. Me, I've been working. The good news is I am at the light at the end of the tunnel. Now, if I can get my house a little organized and that darned, stupid Christmas tree up, I will blog about the movie, as it will take too long (probably) in one sitting.

For those of you, who visit the blog and do not leave comments (so I don't really know who you are), you need to visit Stephanie's blog, Kristy's blog, and Yvonne's blog. Hmmm... You will definitely notice a theme. Heehee! Haahaa!

So, I leave you with: "Yes. No. To get to the other side. 1.77245..." and
"ARIZONA! How you likin da rain?"

(That was for you, girls, if you didn't figure that out.)
