Today was pretty much like Christmas....minus Jesus' birth, some tinsel, and presents for anyone but myself. I honestly had a fabulous birthday....I couldn't have asked for more. I've never felt more loved....well....except for that one time,...ok just kidding. I can't say thank you enough to everyone who made it special. Even birthday-cynic-Brian...who showered me with coffee, Under Armour, and a card with the word "bitch". Fitting. The funny thing is that, being the card-slut that I am, I told him what the inside said before I opened it. I'd picked it up before in the store. Its ridiculous, I know.
I woke up this morning 15 minutes before my alarm because I was so excited it was my birthday. You would think I was 7 years old. I love birthdays though. It might have something to do with the fact that I never got to celebrate my birthday at school when I was little because of summer break...no cupcakes...no "happy birthday" song....nothing. "Bitter, party of one." Perhaps a little, but nonetheless I've partied as necessary ever since. I like to remind myself every year just how little I've accomplished in 365 days, how small my list of friends is becoming, and the fact that I am going to bed earlier and earlier. Its awesome. Its way past my bedtime and clearly I should not be held accountable for anything I type at this point...the sarcasm just seems to pour out at an unbelievable rate...
All 3 Zimmerman boys and Kelsey stopped by today for a little birthday-bonding-time. That was awesome, and truly meant a lot. Kelsey made me a cookie cake with Duncan Hines frosting (the best), and I am seriously in a sugar coma right now. I can hardly feel my face and I am sweating head to toe. She even put m&m's on it...it was like sex on a cookie. I gladly ate it. My mom taught me at an early age that calories do not count on your birthday....I will not argue with mom. I took it to the face...as I should have...
The Zimm crew also surprised me with a new pair of shoes! It was like giving a heroine addict a new needle... New Mizunos, absolutely love them and they fit perfectly. Yes, I will excitedly rock them tomorrow. :)
My sister-in-law and 2 nieces also came by today...when Payton said "Happy birthday Mena, I love you" I nearly died. Those girls turn me into mush...almost makes me mad. Ha.
Mom and dad also stopped by and dropped off my new vacuum cleaner! Wooo!! It totally sucks,...I mean literally. I was more excited about an appliance than the average person should be. But I've managed to kill like 4 vacuum's already, so I'll take it.
Ahh...all in all, a complete day. Yes, I still worked out, but any accomplishment in the gym fell second to how great friends/family made me feel today. Honestly, I was flattered and beyond grateful. Thus, I will continue to celebrate through the weekend...at least, that's the plan. I'm 28, not 78...if you're gonna do something, got to do it right...
Goodnight people :)
Glad you had an awesome day!!!!! That vacuum does suck tho....literally ha!
