Today, it's back to work. Tomorrow, Ian turns 18 and I'll probably take to my bed. After we go to Oaklawn that is... Here's my goddaughter dressing up as me for my birfday: And here we are being silly: And check this out! I bought myself a birthday gift that I LOVE so much. I've never had a Coach purse before... And now I do. It's so me! Celebrate the Ides of Melf by doing something sweet and romantic for someone you love. Labels: Birthday, celebration, family, friends, month of mel Wednesday, March 14, 2012

So my momma called me yesterday asking me what I wanted for my birthday. I told her nothing, which is absolutely true. My mom has done so much for me over these past few years especially, and that is gift enough. Then at work, I had several folks ask me what gift I asked for...and I realized, I don't really think it's a gift if you have to ask for it. When I posted about the history of the Month of Mel, I talked about I almost always planned my own birthdays...all the way down to the gift--if there even was a gift at all. (in my adult life...my mother rocked the birthday world growing up.) I've never once been surprised for my birthday. (I think this is one reason I love giving gifts so much.It gives me great joy to see the appreciation of a truly well-thought out, meaningful gift.) So if I ever really did want something for my birthday--it would be to be surprised. To have someone pick out something just for me, to care enough to make me feel special for one day. To make it so I didn't have to feel like I have to celebrate an entire month to make up for feeling overlooked and taken for granted for so many years. And that's something I would never ask for; but it is something I can always hope for. /semi-serious Month of Mel post. In other news, IT'S TUESDAY BITCHES. Who needs some sparkle because I have plenty to spare! Also, I found my 3rd & 4th four-leaf clovers of 2012 yesterday. I'm feeling lucky... OH...and The Bachelor: The Final Rose recap is live.

Studio 54 was a rockin' good time. Here is more photographic evidence. I'm exhausted still, but wow, did I have a great time. I have the best friends and the best boyfriend ever. I love that everyone embraced the theme with gusto and went all in. And my friend Bell Bottoms? I don't know how I got lucky enough to have her in my life, but I am so grateful for her. My birthday is in 2 days... and my little Tree Frog's birthday is Friday. My itty bitty baby boy is going to be 18 this week. Yes, I had him when I was 10. Thank you for noticing. In other news, my Tree Frog is also now an official college student. He received his acceptance over the weekend. This is a huge week for us. I have, as yet, come to terms with the fact that my baby is a grown man. I may not survive it... Labels: birthdays, celebration, friends, fun, month of mel, the kids Friday, March 09, 2012
Excitement is building for tomorrow night's Disco Extravaganza! We will be decorating tonight. There will be a sparkly pedicure sometime tomorrow...and possibly the purchase of a white suit for El Jefe. Oh yeah, and then it's gonna be ON. Hopefully there will be some quality pictures that I can share with you here next week. If there aren't, then you know the party was even better than expected. Y'all have a great weekend! I know I'm going to.... Peace. Labels: friends, fun, month of mel, sparkle, weekend Thursday, March 08, 2012
