Instead of some overly serious post on the joys of turning another year older, I decided to show you my *cough* *cough* birthday weekend in pictures!

It started with three of my favorite writing peeps — my CPs. (Sydney Bennett prefers to be behind the camera, but I swear she’s real!)

Me with the uber fabulously talented Meredith Clark and Lainey Rogoza

And, of course, there was CAKE!  Gluten-free Strawberry Lemonade Cupcake with a gluten-free chocolate cookie — HEAVEN on a plate!

Breakfast!

Met one of my besties and a couple of other friends afterwards for a stroll through Saturday Market.

Garlic whistles!

Mushrooms!

Peas and Carrots — Organic Style!

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a birthday without a visit to a lingerie shop! 🙂

Much Fun to be Had Here!

Later, Hubby and I were blessed with an opportunity to witness history being made by some incredible athletes.

Me and Hubby!

A friend wore his 2012 Rose Bowl Championship ring — a bit huge on my hand, huh?

I realized later that evening that I greeted my birthday wide awake instead of fast asleep.

Officially Turning Another Year Older

Why? I blame it all on Laura Kaye and HER FORBIDDEN HERO! Incredible chemistry between the hero and heroine, making it oh-so-difficult to put down!!

The Reason I Was Up Until 2 AM!

And when I woke up, there was MORE CAKE!! (Thank you, Jenna Bayley-Burke!)

Grain-Free Coconut Cake With Lemon Curd and Strawberries!!

After Mass that morning, where Father David’s Homily focused on the importance of remaining flexible human beings (was he talking to me?!), I settled onto the back deck with a good book, and the company of two of my boys.

The weekend was capped off with dinner with friends at a local hang out.

Me and one of my besties!

Steak Salad with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon — perfect combo for *THIS* birthday girl!

All in all, it was a pretty tame weekend. Notice what wasn’t on the list of things I’d done? Yep. No writing. That’s for tomorrow morning. At 4:02 AM. Sharp.

G’night, all!
