My marvelous husband’s birthday is today! We celebrated last night and had his favorite – Angel Food Cake with fresh fruit and whip cream.
Happy Birthday John!

Singing Out Loud
Jul 26
Hope you’ve had an amazing weekend!
My marvelous husband’s Star Birthday is tomorrow and I gave him his gift early 
(Thank goodness for our Costco rebate check – I could treat him!)
John has been talking about an iPod for a while. He LOVES music (and thinks I should be able to identify the artist and name of song on que – however that is part of the “opposite” skills that brought our relationship together!). My auctioneer hubby also wanted to upload clips from sales he’d done to learn from and improve. Always learning…that’s what life is all about.
Thanks to my beautiful friends Tam & Nolan – I was surprised with an iPod Shuffle a few weeks ago!
Our friends Johnny and Jen kindly shared their playlists with us while they were here. So John had a HUGE head start to his library of music. He has honestly been so addicted to iTunes for the past 1 1/2 days. I love it – he’s so excited to learn everything. John was busy compiling music for his work trip tomorrow with his new toy. I wanted to spend time with him – so I made myself at home next time surfing the net.
I had no idea John was going to get so many hours of entertainment out of this present! Out of nowhere John informs me he’s going to mow the lawn. When I turned to look at him – he was so cute!!
I was doing some things inside when I hear this loud voice singing away. I thought it was the computer still playing iTunes but no – it was John! He was outside mowing and just givener!!
Ha ha – I’m laughing WITH! It was amazing to hear my hubby’s voice singing out loud with the music on his new iPod.
That’s what life is all about. Sing like no one is listening
Double Star Birthday
Apr 16
My 26th Birthday was fabulous!
I coined this particular celebration as my Double Star Birthday! I’ve heard that when you turn the year of the date of your Birthday – it is your Star Birthday. For example, I was born on April 13th, so when I turned 13, I celebrated my Star Birthday. I really don’t recall my 13th Birthday and decided that I was having my own party and called it my Double Star Birthday. I was also a bit envious that John’s going to celebrate his “Star Birthday” in July of this year and I am always looking for a theme for his parties, so I wanted to recreate mine!!
Monday morning started off with a bang! I woke up just before 5am, I had a big day ahead! I packed, got myself ready for the day and then my husband and I left my parents. I headed south, he headed north – absence makes the heart grow fonder in our relationship! I made the 3 hour drive south and even got to watch the sunrise!
I had an interview in Lethbridge on Monday morning that I came back for! It went fabulous and I’m starting a new contract this morning – very excited! More details to come soon…
I enjoyed Edo Japan for lunch – mmm…one of my favorite Fast Food joints! Then I stopped at Starbucks, because I deserved it!! he he…it was my Birthday I told myself!! I randomly picked up two drinks at Starbucks, I love being spontaneous! I told the diva that I wanted two different iced drinks - I came out with an Iced Carmel Frappuccino and an Iced Passion Tea Lemonade!
With Starbucks in hand, I headed to get a pedicure with my fabulous friend, Jodie! I got the one with all the whip cream and calories!! We enjoyed gossiping and catching up. I just love what an amazing job the Vietnamese divas do to my feet! If you aren’t addicted to getting pedicures – you’re missing out!
It all starts with the famous line “Pick a Color” (if you’re an addict like me - you can hear the Vietnamese voice spouting that off!! )
Its a combination of Christmas and Spring! I get all excited like its Christmas morning and I get to open up my gifts and on the other hand get so pumped about sandal wearing weather – the big decision – what color this time??
Normally I get my toenails painted one solid color, however the divas told us that it was in style to do a colored french with design instead! SO voila…we had to do what was cool!
Jodie picked blue!
I picked pink!
Then my friends Amberley and Sean made me supper! Fabulous salmon, a really thoughtful, useful gift, and amazing fellowship!!
I had SUCH an amazing Birthday, I’m SO lucky to be surrounded by such a beautiful network of friends and family!
I was overwhelmed by the phone calls, emails, and Facebook posts with amazing wishes and energy! Each comment made me smile, as I reflected on my relationship with the person that wrote them. I realize that everyone makes a choice whether or not to take action to each Birthday announcement/reminder on the side of the Facebook page. Shockingly enough there are some days that I don’t sign in or may really quickly and don’t make it a priority to share my positive spirit with each person that is celebrating a special day.
I did notice something very interesting while enjoying my Birthday wishes. I observed that a large percentage of the messages used the word “great”!! Personally, I use very flowery adjectives to describe my mood and emotions! There is nothing wrong with this word, I am not judging; it just isn’t an adjective I use very much! I think I am going to compile all of my Birthday wishes and report back with a synopsis from my research, I’m curious to know the actual percentage of people used “great” – stay tuned!
Thanks for helping make my Double Star Birthday amazing!!
