My Birthday Dinner

Every year I have an intimate birthday dinner with just my closest friends and it's always interesting to see how that invite-list changes through the years. LOL!

This year the soiree was attended by Mikey, Susie, Shannon, Angel and Jonathan Chang. Others invited but unable to attend were Tom, Drew Warner, Brandon Baker, Kyle Foxxx and Caleb Carter. Most were out of town but for those who were in town -- boys, I totally understand! If it hadn't been my own birthday, I wouldn't have gone! After a long, holiday weekend, it was the last thing any of us probably wanted to do before having to get back to the work week, but I do appreciate everyone showing up and having a fun couple of hours with food, drinks and the best birthday cake ever! (Thanks Susie!)

Susie got me an awesome sweater from Kenneth Cole that I am loving. I want to live in it! I got a new yoga mat (which I really needed) and work out socks from Shannon, a gift card to Bath & Body Works from Angel and a bag of snowflakes to decorate with from Jonathan Chang. My mom sent me a hot throw to match my bed and my dad sent me a package but I've yet to make it to my mailbox today. I have some packages from you constant readers too sitting here that I've yet to open. Some of you have been sweet enough to send something every year and I will hit you up individually as soon as I open them.

Hope your holiday weekend was as delightful as mine! :-)
