Happy Birthday to me! I am 28 years old now, inching up to the big 30. I can't believe it!

Michael asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I told him I wanted a nap! So that's what I got. Just as w/ our anniversary, there were no presents (not enough extra money to spare) but I'd actually prefer to have a nap over a gift! I told Josephine what I wanted for my birthday today was for her to be a good girl. She chuckled. Later, when we had cake, she gave me some of her dress-up jewelry as my birthday present. I thought that was very sweet. Maureen, I guess, thought it was her birthday again and said "I'm two, Mama, I'm two!" and pretended to blow out the candles again.
