Birthday Sleepover

It just occured to me that I never blogged about my sleepover. Sorry. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! I am sad to report that I did not take pictures. I am still kicking myself for this. I was running late due to an unexpected visit from a campaigner that would not leave, so I forgot to bring my camera down before the girls all arrived. Once they started getting here, we were laughing, joking, eating, re-living old memories, sharing new memories and stories, that I completely forgot. We ate and talked so much that we did not have time to watch a movie or play any games. It was a GREAT time though and I will not soon forget it.

We plan to get together once a month after the New Year for Girl's Night. FUN FUN FUN.

My best friend from high school and a good friend from elm school got together and made me a cd of songs from most years of my life. And a card with old pictures of the three of us on it.

We made some great memories and it was an awesome way to celebrate my 30 years.

My gifts included...

flowers and an American Express gift card

a large 30 balloon and memory cd, 30 sucks sucker and an "I don't want to grow up" necklace

a pumpkin candle and a Max & Erma gift card

Happy Birthday to....

ME!!!

Yes, today is my 30th Birthday. Which is why I have not visited your blogs yet today. I am sorry. My dear husband and son took me out to breakfast at Cracker Barrel this morning. (my favorite place to eat. I could have stayed for lunch...lol) Then we went to visit with my Mom at her work. (she works right across the way from CB) After that we came back into town and stopped to pick out pumpkins. (I will post pictures, later or maybe tomorrow of our creations, check back). Then we went to pick me up one of those lap pillows for the laptop to sit on (on my lap). Not sure what they are called.

Now we are just hanging out here at home.

My immediate family and a couple close friends are coming by in a couple hours for pizza and cake. FUN TIMES. Then the celebrating will be over until the sleepover on the 25th. (http://kellyatclose2home.blogspot.com/2008/09/to-be-kid-again.html)

Everyone have a great day and what I don't catch up on today (in blog world) I will tomorrow.

HUGS

to be a kid again

I will be turning 30 in just 11 days.

For a while now my BFF has been asking my what I want to do for this milestone birthday. I have thought of several ideas and changed my mind 100+ times.

The thing is I do not like asking my friends to spend money that they may or may not have to go out for me. So I wanted somethig simple and cheap, but fun. Lots of fun and memories.

In years past we have gotten togeher with friends and gone to dinner for each of our birthdays at an Italian restaurant, Bucca di Beppo's. (great place, I highly recommend it for large groups, must make reservations though) My BFF thought we needed to something a bit more than this for the big 3 0.

So I decided to have a sleep over. Yes a sleep over for 30 yr old adults. GIRLS only, NO BOYS ALLOWED, NO KIDS ALLOWED. Just us girls!!! Fun times and lots of new memories to be made. Each girl will bring a girly movie or a fun game to play, and a snack of some sorts. And we will get ice cream cake. I teased that we will need to use the Wii fit to burn off the extra calories we will consume. We will have 8-10 girls coming. One which was my best friend from grade school, that I have not kept too much in touch with and another who was my co-best friend in high school. Neither my BFF or myself have kept in touch with her in years, but I have her parents and address and I know she still lives in town.

So it is set...towards the end of October, we will be having a sleepover at my house for just us girls. It has to wait until the end of Oct. as we are BUSY in the month of Oct. We have our county fair and Boo @ the Zoo, the birthday will have to wait for all of that.

But it should be a lot of fun and I am really excited, just like a little kid.
