on my birthday I....

• was #40 in line at the DMV arriving just FOUR minutes after it opened
• was serenaded by Madeleine ALL. DAY. LONG.  Particularly in public.  even today she probably sang happy birthday to me 4 times
• weighed in at my lowest post-Henry weight - wohooo
• received so many cards, calls, texts, emails, wall posts and love from friends and family
• made some goals to achieve by 29
• sent Spencer off to an important interview looking mind-blowingly handsome
• didn't blow out candles but instead indulged in the great wall of chocolate
• ran the stairs in our apartment building - my new gym.  it's close, warm, quick and let me tell you effective!
• took no picutres
• remembered how fun last birthday when some dear friends invited me and the kids over because Spencer was out of town
• was surprised when a babysitter knocked at my door :)
• finished a book
• 
  had a candlelight dinner with my love
• thought how grateful I am for my life.  All those moments as a 14, 15, 16 year old where I just wanted a glimpse of what my life would be like - I wouldn't have believed how good my life would be.  Seriously, I would have been blown away by what was in store. Hope the adventures continue
• believed that 28 is going to be great
