It's My Birthday

When you get older, birthdays aren't as big of a deal - until you hit the big 4-0, that is. I'm a few years away from that milestone, so to me, it's just sort of another day.

So I'm not doing a whole lot today. Lounging around, eating my birthday cake (because calories don't count on your birthday!), watching a few movies, and tonight we'll go out for dinner. Since it's also Father's Day, my husband and I get to share the day. :-)

I already received some very nice presents - a Lifehouse CD from hubby, a beautiful bracelet from my mom, and some birthday cash from my dad, which I will undoubtedly use at my local Barnes & Noble.

Happy Father's Day to all those dads out there, and a special Happy Father's Day to my own Dad!

  1. Happy Birthday, Melissa :) And, as I can attest, 4-0 aint't so big. Didn't you know? 40 is the new 30 :) :)

    Enjoy the rest of your day. Sounds lovely!!!

  10. Happy (slightly belated) birthday, Melissa! In my experience, the 30s were great...but the 40s ROCK. Welcome to the club! ;)

  14. Belated happy birthday, Melissa! ... and 40 is nothing, really :o)

    (PS I've just discovered Lifehouse, thanks to Jill Shalvis. 'Whatever it takes' is going to be the song of the next book. Fab stuff.)

I love to hear from you!

What a Difference a Day (or Two) Made...

Dinah Washington sings a wonderful tune called "What a Difference a Day Made." While the lyrics are romantic in nature, it perfect...
