Roses, Balloons, Cards, Cake and Friends!

Well this has been a whirl-wind of a week!!  And what a great week at that!!  I remember coming up on my 40th birthday and really dreading the fact that the BIG 4-0 was creeping up on me.  I was going to officially be 'OLD'!  I really had a hard time coming to terms with those two little numbers sitting in that particular order and being associated with my name at the same time.... ugh!.  However, it was on that 40th birthday that I realized I didn't feel any different than I did the day before when I was still 39.... so hey...I guess I'm OK with being in my 40's!

Flash forward a few years.... I just celebrated another birthday...just count the candles in the pic.  No... not 8... lol  Two little rows of 4...  that's right... now you get it.... 44.  I know they used to say "a lady never tells her age"... well... I am still a lady... but I am proud of who I am and proud to be 44 years young!   I guess I still don't look too bad for an "old" lady... I still work out and try to eat pretty good... I maybe don't spring out of bed as quickly anymore... and it may take a few steps before the bones stop snap, crackle and poppin'.... but hey... I made it another year and I feel Fabulous!  

I am just so happy and thankful for this birthday... Thankful for all God's blessings... so thankful for my Love... my wonderful family,  friends, for life and God waking me up every morning to give me another chance to make a difference in this world... another chance to help make someone else Smile.  

So with this... I am sending out Many Many Thanks to All of those that helped to make my Birthday so very special... Every single thing was Fabulous!!   Wonderful breakfast, balloons in my office, Fabulous dinner, cake, wine and roses waiting on me after work and all the Incredible Birthday Wishes from All my Facebook friends!   Wow!!  What a day!!!  Y'all definitely know how to make a girl Smile!!!   And special thanks to my wonderful parents for a terrific visit and treating us to a Fabulous dinner last night and extending my birthday celebration for another day!!!   I will be enjoying my Olive Garden left-overs for lunch today!!!

Smile with your whole heart... you'll glow from the inside out!!!

Talk about a Fabulous Friday!!

I was up working very late Thursday night...  as I pushed snooze on the alarm for the third time I finally decided I better roll on out of bed.  Moving a little bit slower than usual, I got myself up and going all the while I kept telling myself... 'hey...it's Friday!'  I had a lot to do on my planner today... emails to reply to, designs to submit to printers,  new designs to make, say hello to all my FB and Twitter peeps... amongst all the normal daily tasks.  It was going to be a long day...but at the end of the day I knew it was going to be the weekend.  I had NO IDEA it was going to turn into such a FABULOUS FRIDAY!

Here is where my Friday turned into Fabulous Friday...

• 2 Brand New clients before 10am!!!

• An old friend that I went from elementary school all the way through high school with came by to pick up some graduation announcements I designed for his niece.  We had a great visit...and he loved the designs!!!

• I got to meet BLUE!!! 

If you know me... you know I grew up a Centerville Bulldog!!!  Once a Bulldog, ALWAYS a Bulldog!  I even owned two English bullies of my own a few years back....seeing Blue, hearing those wonderful bullie sounds... the snorts, the panting and even the slobber and how his tongue hung out of his mouth brought back so many memories of my bullies.... I miss them so much.... So this is for my bullies.... Sophie and Brandy.... I Love you and miss you and you are Forever in my heart!!!!

Yes!!!  This was a Fabulous Friday!! I smiled All Day Long!!!

Have a Terrific Weekend!!!

Smile with your whole heart....you'll glow from the inside out!!!
