Well, this year I spent most of my birthday in the Detroit airport - I know, I know - you're all super jealous. It was great - and I think it was American Airlines' birthday present to make my flight delayed an hour. Yep - they are that thoughtful! But really, I'm the one who booked my flight home from Ohio to occur ON my birthday, so no one to blame but myself.
Anyway, the trip up there to see my friends was a great birthday present and I enjoyed every minute of my trip!
When I got home, there were some other birthday treats for me too.....
This is the cake that Chris made me for my birthday - and it was YUMMY carrot cake, which I LOVE! He even got the number candles - haven't had those in years. It was great!

He also got me a game that he knew I would love: the RODEO version of Monopoly!! It is so cute and the game pieces include a hat, spurs, etc. LOVE IT!!

Among Chris' talents is woodcarving - he made this awesome wood carving of daisies (he knew I liked them) for my house and it looks great in my office! He also made me a Vikings one too - with the helmet and logo. What a sweet guy!

My friend Lindsay sent me a box for my birthday and inside there was a super cool present and I laughed really hard when I opened it........a Paint Your Own Wiener kit!

And Lindsay - here is the finished product. I never said I was an artist, so I just went with the "Texas flag" theme with my resin wiener! Thanks again!

My sister sent me this super cute sign for my house (matches the color of my living room!).

And my Mom sent me this cool water bottle - she is trying to get me to not drink out of plastic bottles because they cause cancer or whatever, so I'm giving it a whirl. It's going to take some getting used to because it kind of tastes metal-y since it's stainless steel....but I suppose it's better for me. I was hoping that since it's called "Sub-Zero" that it would keep the water cold even in my hot car, but that's just not the case......Oh well!

This year I had such a FABULOUS birthday and the days surrounding it!

I got a stainless steel water bottle for Christmas and I absolutely love it! I don't use anything else at work, now I just need another one for home! Some bottles are really crappy and some do smell of metal but the ones from L.L. Bean are great! The cap is snug and it doesn't smell. Greg was jealous so he also has one now and it goes everywhere with him. They are great!

Love the wiener! Great job.
Paint your own weiner!?!?!?! LOL! Also a giant metallic red canteen is right up your alley.
