July 17th--MY BIRTHDAY! (I'm double nickels!)

I thought I'd better get this entry in on the last 4 minutes of July 17th! Then, my birthday will be OFFICIALLY over for another year! WAAAA! I love my birthday! To everyone who sent cards/e-mails and phone calls---THANK YOU! I loved each and every one!.....I started celebrating yesterday when Katie and Nat and I went to see "The Devil Wears Prada"--cute cute movie! Then, TODAY, July 17th---started the day off by opening gifts from Katie that were scattered all over the dining room table! Such fun! 2 beautiful shirts from Lara and a necklace and a gift certificate to SCRAP , ETC! Of course, I HAD to spend that gift certificate so that's the first place we went---I loaded up on MORE scrapbooking supplies (and they were having a 60 % off sale, too!!!). Then, Katie and I had an early lunch at ZOE'S! YUM YUM (i even had chocolate cake!). THen, off to the SOHO district in Homewood where we looked around and we ended up at the Summit!......Exhausted from the 101 degree heat we came home and met Nat/Brad/Kemp and Michael/Lily/Kadie at SUMO's! YUMMY!!!!!!! The babies were great! So cute! Lily LOVED looking "at NEMO" (the goldfish at Sumo's!)....... I got an adorable GRANJAN shirt from KEMP and a gift certificate from Nat/Brad! From LILY I got a beautiful necklace and a gift certificate, too! Then, back here for some of the delicious CAKE Katie got me from EDGAR'S! Then, a big treat! LILY is spending the night tonight! She is snuggled up to "BIG T" right now, sound asleep!......I will continue my birthday celebration with PAT tomorrow as he is bringing me lunch (he had to work tonight!). I plan on continuing my birthday celebration ALL WEEK LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND, by the way, I'm DOUBLE NICKELS now! WOW! I'm officially now an OLD WOMAN!
