Happy Birthday to Me!

39??  It sounds like a made-up age, doesn't it? 

It's been a really great birthday.  I'm looking forward to going out as a family tonight to celebrate.

I had a ton of fun at Chick Flick Movie Club yesterday ("An Education"), Girls' Superbowl Party last night, and lunch with a friend today (in addition to a beautiful card and roses).  It just doesn't get better!

While 39 could a scary birthday (let's not think about 2/8/11 OK?),

I can easily come up with at least 39 things I am grateful for and love.
