My Day

 

I had a birthday today.  (The mid-thirties kind.)  It started with a 2-hour visit to the DMV to renew my license, followed by lots of emails and a few work-related “issues.” Fortunately, it ended with a small celebration with my family at home:

My husband was mad, however, that the store sold him a “defective number 3 candle.”  I swear to you he really said that.  He might get me for telling you that, but it gave me the laugh I needed after my long day.

  3. Happy birthday, Emily! Love the "defective" number 3. Bless your sweet husband's soul! You should feel very proud of what you have been able to accomplish in the past 35 years. :)

  7. Happy Birthday! That is the best kind of treat. YUM! On my last trip to the DMV I got to sit & read a book for 2 hours which was actually kind of nice. The chair was uncomfortable and the company was questionable but the chance to sit & read was a rare occasion!

  19. Happy, happy birthday!!!!! I know birthdays aren't celebrated with same amount of hoopla as they were when we were younger, but a night in with a box full of donuts and your family by your side, sounds like the perfect night to me!

  21. That is really funny - I thought maybe one of your kiddos did that on purpose. Aw, the hubbies always try so hard don't they? I also just saw your vent post and it looks like you're doing some good camouflaging so far. If I were sitting in your office though that would drive me crazy too.
