So Mommy finally did it!
On 6/13 I turned the big 4-0!!!
Everyone knows I don’t make a big deal about my birthday and truly I do
not get the whole hoopla behind birthdays (of course I make an exception for
kids’ birthdays) but this one is a big deal because, well, I’m 40! ANNNNDDDD…..I am extremely happy to borrow a
verse from Mary J. Blige and sing “So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
when I’m walking past the mirror!” It’s
been a long time since I’ve been able to say that. Matter of fact, the whole song is appropriate
so let’s take a time out and groove to it….
Being that I'm feeling kind of extra and it's a milestone birthday, this year I decided I would celebrate! I started off by getting a new hair color and highlights for my teenie weenie afro that, after 6 months of being natural, is finally at a length that I love. I had to travel all the way down to the Mexican border to get it done but lemme tell you….Lupé gave me exactly what I wanted!
Thursday morning rolled around and I told Kalissa that it was my birthday. Did she wish me a happy day? Nooooooo…instead she said, “No it’s not! It’s my birthday!” She knew full and well that it was not her birthday but she refused to wish me a happy day! LOL!!!! I went on to work and it was business as usual. My friend gave me a cupcake pan/carrier because she knows that soon enough I’ll have to start toting cupcakes for various functions but other than that, my day had no fanfare. I asked Daddy if we had plans after work and he told me to just come home and stop asking questions. LOL! I figured he had cooked me dinner or something. So I walked out of my building and headed towards my car. But it wasn’t there. There was a car in my spot that looked like my car, but it wasn’t my car. So after a few minutes of looking around the parking lot, I walked closer to the look-a-like car and realized that it was my car!!! Daddy put some new rims on it!!! Woooo hoooo! I’ve been wanting fancy rims ever since we bought this car a year and a half ago!
Even though he
thinks I’m a teenager for wanting them, he finally caved and bought them for
me! When I got home, I had flowers,
cards, sushi and a lemon cake with lemon icing (my favorite!) baked by my CandyYam! Mom sent me delicious fudge from Alaska
and I also received cards and calls from my family and friends. It was a fabulous 40th celebration!
Happy birfday to meeeeeee!
