31st Birthday

Monday, February 25, 2008 at 12:00 AM

My birthday this year was a bit quieter and more low-key than last year which was my 30th and Aidan’s 1st, which is kind of nice, actually. I had a very good birthday weekend. We went to Dick Blick store on Saturday afternoon, since it was the last day the Lincoln store would be open. The selection was pretty picked over, but everything in the store was at least 80% off, and we picked up a few good deals. Later, Jeremy’s parents took us out to Tico’s to celebrate my birthday.

Aidan had been getting a good case of cabin fever from being cooped up in the house since the weather outside has been too cold or snowy to go out and play. Since the weather was so nice Sunday Aidan and I spent several hours outside playing. He seemed to have a good time getting out to run in the yard and play with his backyard slide and sidewalk chalk. We stopped at Novel Idea and said hi to Kirsten, who was working and then stopped at Ali Baba’s for gyros. Jeremy made me a spice cake with cream cheese frosting (my favorite) and even added extra spices (yum!). Thank you to everyone for all the cards and gifts and birthday greetings and for making me feel special on my birthday :-).
