So it’s offical. I am part of the “over” of 35 & over. 35 has come and gone and I find myself moving on and I don’t mind. It didn’t even bother me. I was barely phased by the change.

I was thoroughly spoiled this year. I was treated to dinner at a local place I love, Big T. I gorged myself on a cajun chicken wrap, fries and a German beer. Dessert was the “Ultimate Blond Brownie”. Lord, I was going to go into sugar overload. It was fabulous. I got a couple of roses as well.

Now, I’ve mentioned my Nintendo DS before. That was supposed to be my gift from Shawn and the kids this year, so I didn’t expect anything else. But I was treated to a trip to Stitching Bits & Bobs. I got to meet Bobbie and her husband. Deb and I ordered from them so much when I was in Livonia and she didn’t even have the store front then. Now, she does and I was in HEAVEN walking through there.

Deb also decided to spoil me a WEE bit. She got me the ONE thing stitching wise that I desperately needed.

Yeah those are GINGHER scissors! OMG I drooled!

Plus she got me the pattern and SILK threads needed to make the matching scissor pouch. The green fabric up top in the SB&B shot is for this project.

Then I got a box from Amazon. I have a wish list set up there and very few know about it. So unbeknownst to me, someone decided to shop from it and get me a few things.

I got 2 movies from my list, a game for my DS and 3 books. The 3rd is on order and will show up seperately. My dear S (yes the same that just had surgery) was the one that decided to do this for me. Not thinking of themselves, my birthday came to become very important and low and behold, I got goodies.

I’ve had the most remarkable weekend. I was able to relax, stitch, eat a great meal, watch my lovely daughter cheer and spend time with my family. I felt loved, completely and utterly loved, almost beyond words and thoughts.

What more could a girl ask for?
