Unfortunately the “something” isn’t very close to the 40, but it’s not TOO close to the 50. \u00c2\u00a0That’s all I’m saying.<\/p>\n

I’m a Christmas baby, born 1 week before Christmas Eve. \u00c2\u00a0I used to hate it…especially when I was in college and had to study\/take finals around my birthday. \u00c2\u00a0Yuck!<\/p>\n

And, it’s been a while since anyone was guilty of combining birthday and Christmas presents (gasp)…Randy learned long ago that doesn’t fly with me. \u00c2\u00a0I mean, c’mon…<\/p>\n

I got to choose my birthday dinner destination, as is usual with us. \u00c2\u00a0Ever heard of the place with the huge porch and lots of rocking chairs in front? \u00c2\u00a0Half shopping \/ half down-home, southern comfort food? \u00c2\u00a0Yep, that’s where we went.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, we made a stop at Wal-*art. \u00c2\u00a0This, in itself, is crazy, since I truly despise the place. \u00c2\u00a0But, stop we did and made a few purchases….vowing to never go again. \u00c2\u00a0Like I always do.<\/p>\n

Back home, and it was present time…<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

New winter coat!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Gloves that work with my touch-pad Iphone :)<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Beautiful black cardigan sweater<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

A picture, just for me!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

A goofy boy to look at.<\/p>\n

Marley has in mind what she wants to get me, and Randy has taken her to two different places with no luck. \u00c2\u00a0So, I’m still waitin’ on that one!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

I’m one blessed mama…<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

And, a happy birthday girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
