Forty One-derful!

Today I turned 41...forty ONE-derful. And what a birthday it has been! School was canceled for a blizzard, the girls got to stay home too, and best of all...I got to wear my pajamas ALL DAY LONG! As if that wasn't enough there was a SyFy marathon and February is I <3 SyFy month! (In addition to Dental Health Month, Black History Month, Valentine's Day, President's Day, and Chinese New Year. whew!) I also had a ton of birthday wishes on Facebook. I have the best friends! I really didn't think this day could get any better.

Then Don made meatloaf and homemade scalloped potatoes - my grandma's recipe even! As if that wasn't enough, NCIS is brand new and the Illini are playing. I think I might burst. Oh, then there is the chocolate cake. With homemade chocolate butter cream frosting. (Sorry ladies, Don is taken!!!) Oops, I just remembered I will have to weigh in on Thursday. I better not eat at all tomorrow!

I had finally settled down to do a little farming and watch Mark Harmon when BAM, BOOM, FLASH, there is thunder and lightening. Are you kidding? Thunder snow? The dogs jumped and I think I peed a little. After my heart stopped pounding, I hopped on Facebook and my BFF suggested I blog about it. She rocks! :)

Now if the Illini can pull out a win over Penn State, this might just be the bestest birthday ever. Oh and I haven't even mentioned all the hugs and love I got from my girls, the awesome Sons of Anarchy t-shirt from Krista, the darling boots from Micky, the fiestaware from Dad and Trudy, and....drum roll please...the homemade flyball jumps that Don is making for me. (Yup, girls, he is still taken.)

Yikes, there is more thunder and lightening. Please don't let the power go out!! What will I do then?

Thank you for sharing this awesome day with me!
