It's My Birthday!

{Me, trying to grow into my teeth}

When my first daughter turned one, a friend gave me a card that wished her a "Happy First Trip Around the Sun."

I've always liked to think of birthdays as space trips ever since. It takes the earth one year to complete it's orbit around the golden sun and I've just logged in another lap.

If you think about it, you have to admit, it's a pretty cool ride! There are chocolate cupcakes baked by my husband on the counter, and sticks of butter too, getting to room temp for some frosting. I'm looking forward to a sweet day!

  7. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORETTA! It’s somebody’s birthday I wonder who…it’s you, it’s you!…lol. Ok I noticed you didn’t say how many laps around the sun you’ve made but we’ll let it slide. I’m very happy for you and you wish many, many more trips. Eat a cupcake for me and ENJOY YOUR DAY! (This is where I toss confetti!)
