Birthday Wishes Come True

When 4 out of 5 well-wishers recommend you enjoy your birthday with ice cream, you sorta gotta follow through.

A Wednesday birthday meant a normal work day (with decorated desk and treats). A rainy birthday meant no golfing or kayaking.

So I went to kickboxing and my fellow Wonder Woman kicker Gwen took me out for ice cream after class. It's a law that calories keep burning until midnight of your birthday. We enjoyed some salted caramel chocolate chunk something or other that was called Now This Is Serious.

This is serious birthday celebrating alright.

Was glad I was able to at least see my twin this past weekend. And I got a call from my momma. So it's all good. Of course the icing on the proverbial cake (nope, not a real one) was a nice card and hug from the boy. And then there's that new camera in my future, thanks to a Best Buy gift card from hubby to get me going.

I don't care what age I am – and no, this is not a birthday with a zero at the end of it – I love my birthday. It's fun to be a princess for the day and hear from so many friends and family through phone calls, cards, texts, emails and Facebook messages.

Of course, I'm going to have to stretch this celebration out at least until the end of the month. I don't think my single scoop meets the recommended requirement.
