It’s my birthday!  I love this day!  It is the day that I was given a chance.  That’s really a gift that I need to remind myself of often.  My mom tells the story of how she gave birth to me… she had to have a C-section.  They wrapped me up and my dad picked me up and walked home.  (We just lived down the road from the hospital in India).<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love that visual.  I love knowing that in those hours of my birth that my dad was enamoured by me.  I love that he wanted me home.  I love the thought of being in his arms.  <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
September 23, I even like that date… on paper it looks pretty, doesn’t it?  lol  I love that it is the middle of fall and just a cheery day!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sanj asked me the other day, why  I love my birthday… I get so excited…how come?  I love it!  It is just a day I allow myself the feeling of specialness.  Not in a conceited way… but rather I love a day that is about me.  I plan to be with people I love… my friends and my family.  I don’t ever cook on this day… I don’t do much aside from enjoy myself.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What does that entale?  Well, breakfast with some friends (which included a piece of cake… YUM!) fiddle on the computer, lunch with my hubby (I marked it in his book so really it is his special treat… a full lunch off and with me to book)!  Then the afternoon I will spend it shopping a bit for my new office… \ud83d\ude42 and planning my little party tomorrow.  Then we will go out to supper… cake will be in this day somewhere… I love birthday cake!  I love white birthday cake.  The boys were hinting for a chocolate cake.  Another part of my day that makes it extra special is the little notes from all my friends on Facebook and email etc. I love the calls from my special people that take time to send me their love.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Last night Sanj and a couple of boys came home with the loot.  All along, Sanj kept asking me what I wanted for my birthday.  My answer has been consistent.  THE OFFICE.  He kept asking me… “Are you sure?”  I have never been more sure!  <\/span>

<\/span>
He comes home and says, “You present is in the office.”  He is such a silly man.  There on the desk lay the DVD series of “THE OFFICE.”  Haha!  Sanj was very pleased with himself!   \ud83d\ude42<\/span>

<\/span>
Then Sanj and the boys began bringing in the “stuff!”  My White Chair, The Desk, A Chaise Lounger…  SWEET!  My office is looking so great already!!!  Then Sanj walks in with a big box.  I literally gasped.  He got me a huge iMac to write my book on.  (And watch girlie movies in my girlie room).<\/span>

<\/span>
I actually felt my heart pounding rapidly.  I feel like it’s all falling into place.  I am ready to write.  I feel my fingers itching to do that dance with the keyboard.  I feel ready… I am ready.<\/span>

<\/span>
I ended the day off (after going to youth group with the boys for parent night and missed Greys!!!)… I ended the day talking to one of my besties.  Life is good.  Life is very good.<\/span>

<\/span>
If you have love in your life… true love of family and friends… it doesn’t get much better than that, does it?<\/span>

<\/span>
Thanks to all who made my day very special with your love and friendship.<\/span>
(My dad even called and left a message!)<\/span>
