Today is my birthday. My 35th. Friends have asked me if I have any plans for my special day. “Oops, was I supposed to plan something?...well hubby and I might go to Galveston Saturday”. Somehow, I don’t think that’s what they meant? So no, there are no party hats or anything like that this year or any year now that I think about it. My birthday falls less than a month after my daughter’s birthday, three days before Father’s Day, one week before my niece’s birthday and two weeks before my step-daughter’s birthday. June is a financial catastrophe as far as birthday plans go. Maybe I should start celebrating my birthday in April. Sounds like something to consider!! hehe
My puppy must have known that it was my birthday because he decided to give me a gift this morning. While I was sleeping he started to lick my shirt so when I woke up, I had a huge wet spot on my back. When I say huge, I mean huge. It was larger than my hand. I’m convinced that those were love licks and that this must have been his birthday present to me….birthday love...not sure if it was for me or for my shirt but nonetheless, I accepted it.
So, this morning, sitting in my usual spot (potty time), I started checking my ‘crack’berry to find a text message from my brother from the night before (5 minutes before midnight) wishing me a happy birthday. Then, I check ‘crack’book and I noticed that my birthday messages had already started. Some people I know very well and others, not so much…but they were taking the 5 seconds out of their day to wish me a happy birthday and truthfully, I felt special because of it. It’s amazing what technology has given us. Some of these people were old friends reconnected, some I barely remember, and others are people that I have met through friends or family. How amazing is that? I decide that I am determined to personally thank each and every person that sends me a birthday wish. If they can take the time, so can I.
Now, I might not have anything big planned for my birthday but there is one thing I knew I was going to do. There is a cupcake place here in Houston called Crave https://www.cravecupcakes.com/. I LOVE their cupcakes. Well, just a few days ago (I think by divine timing) I received an email saying that they had breakfast cupcakes available now. I knew then that there was a birthday breakfast cupcake in my future. (By the way, I love that they actually call them breakfast cupcakes. Most muffins are actually just glorified cupcakes anyways) So, I headed to Crave this morning and got my “cake flavored” Birthday Breakfast Cupcake and a coffee to go. My cupcake was topped with cinnamon sugar and was absolutely lovely. I was pleased with my selection and because it’s my birthday I didn’t have to count ‘not one’ CALORIE! Even better!!!
I thank God for giving me one more year …here’s hoping for many more years to check my ‘crack’berry, receive love licks from my puppy, and eat cupcakes!
‘til next time,
Emily
