It's My Birthday & ...

Happy Birthday to me!!!

It's my birthday and I can cry if I want to, but I won't!  I don't know why but I absolutely love my birthday I always have the best day and feel so loved and lucky to be alive another year, I don't fear getting older and it's probably the one day a year I become one of those annoyingly peppy people that I usually can't stand to be around!  First thing this morning my parents called and sang happy birthday which is always a great start then the first e-mail I opened was from a friend telling me I was the one who inspired her to start running!  That is just the beginning, I can't even start to mention all the wonderful wishes I've gotten on FB and my hubs texting me and I have a friend taking me out to dinner and salsa dancing tonight.  Can I be any luckier?!?!!!   I'm all about spoiling myself on my birthday too so after work today will be my day off from the gym (I switched it out with tomorrow) and I am going to buy myself some new running shoes to start the training season off right next month and maybe a new exercise outfit even though I don't need one (I can't go into Sports Authority and not buy more than 1 thing that's why I'm normally not allowed in there) and go use the Express gift card I had earned.
  

Billboard #1 song on the Day I was born: BeeGees How Deep is Your Love

Famous people born on this day the only one that caught my attention was Eddie Sutherland because it's really close to my maiden name Sutherlin so I wonder if there was any relation...  He was an actor in the Chaplin era.

The skiing teddy bear my husband gave me for my birthday 2 years ago shortly after we had just started dating, named Sam Adams :-)
