28!

Hi Everyone!!

Long time no blog!  Sorry I have been extremely MIA lately, but life is crazy as usual and unfortunately blogging has been put on the backburner.  But I am back now and ready to fill you in!!  I will try and sum up the last month soon, but for now I just thought it would be fun to share some pictures....28 pictures to be precise....for the number of years I have been on this lovely planet (as of March 5th...only a few days behind).  So here goes, my birthday WEEK in photos...

The week started off with a package from my in-laws that contained these 2 lovely, antique perfume bottles that go quite nicely with the set Matt gave me for a wedding gift!  Thank you Mom and Dad #2...I absolutely LOVE them!

I got my birthday package from my parents Thursday night and of course could not bare the thought of waiting until my actual birthday to open it.  Among many other goodies, this fab dress was nestled among hundreds of pieces of confetti.  Oh spring, you can't come soon enough!  I can't wait to wear my new dress!

My mom even made a special birthday album on facebook that was all about me! :)

This one was taken March 5, 1982!

And take a look at this chubber!

Aw, I remember going to Olan Mills to get this one done!

And of course she had to include an old recital pic!

My birthday day started off with a beautiful bouquet from my hubby! :)

And lot's of morning kisses from my Maggie Lu!

Once I got to work, I had a rousing game of chess with my little buddy Patrick!

And then MORE flowers!! Yay!

Later in the day, I went for a b-day run...

And treated myself to a mani/pedi!

That night, Matt and I went to go see the show Fuerzabruta!!
(Thanks for the tix Ev and Ant!)

And then we went to have dinner at the restaurant where my friend Susan works.

Saturday morning I was greeted with another package from my mom!  Gotta love Cheryl & Co cookie boxes!!

That night I celebrated with a bunch of friends at the Auction House Bar near my apt. (Or as Jen and I like to call it...Super Secret Bar)

Marcey and Jen were there!

And my Vissi boys! Ariel, Courtney and Brett.

And of course some Vissi girls too!  Tonika, Jalila and Danni!

And can't forget my pisces buddy Loy! (and Tonika too)

Our UES/Michigan pals Melannie and Gary joined in for some late night fun as well!

And Jer...my brother-in-law! :)

And obviously....My Matt!!

The night (or should I say early Sunday morning) wouldn't have been complete without a birthday cake!

I even made Matt sing to me all by himself so that I could blow out my candles! :)

Sunday afternoon Jen and I took advantage of the early spring weather and took Brutus and Maggie to the park.

Maggie, as usual, wasn't too impressed with the grass.

Sunday night Matt and I went to our 2nd show of the weekend and saw Next to Normal on Broadway! It was amazing!!

And last but not least....all of my beautiful birthday cards!  I had such a wonderful birthday week/weekend!!  Thank you to everyone who made it soooo special!!! xooxo
