a year wiser

yep, it has happened... I turned a year older two days ago. I wasn't really sad, it was a pretty good day, actually...

I used to get all worked up about birthdays, I had these expectations of getting surprised and feeling special, and then when it would come, I'd be disappointed. I think this silliness was left over from my childhood days, when your birthday was very very important. This year, I didn't even think about it at all, didn't plan anything, didn't expect anything - and it was awesome! Maybe I'm growing up... **gasp**

I was really touched by all the gifts that I got - I've received things that showed that the person really thought of what to get you - and that includes the gift from my husband! Since the beginning of summer I kept saying that I need a pedicure really badly (not to him, just to myself), and I really don't want to spend the money... so he got me a gift certificate for a mani/pedi at this spa! I know that for some people it wouldn't be much of a treat, but since I rarely get my nails done, this is major for me... :)
