Just celebrated yet another anniversary of my 29th birthday. That was the year I stopped saying my age out loud, the year we added the question mark candles onto my birthday cake, the year I really started to hate birthdays and getting older.
But year after year, they keep coming around. My father tries to tell me it's a good thing I am around to celebrate another year. And I know he's right.
The boys, however, love to celebrate my day. They picked out a birthday cake for me, surprised me with flowers and played "Happy Birthday" for me on the piano. Friends and family emailed and called to wish me a nice day as well. I have to admit, it was a good day.
Wine made it even better.
In honor of my birthday, my husband chose this week's "Cheap Wine with a Pretty Label".
Cupcake is a very nice Merlot bottled by Cupcake Vineyards. It falls under my $10.00 maximum by one cent at $9.99. I love the label--pretty and girly and swirly. I love the website as well, fresh and clean. But most of all, I love their tagline: "Live Deliciously". And I think that's the way I am going to enter this next year of my life--by living deliciously.
I'll let you know how that works out.
Happy Birthday! And listen to your father. He knows what he's saying. One more thing. When you hit your mid-40's, proudly proclaim how old you are. Take my word for it. It's not that bad. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!! Mine was last weekend, and it was my first 29th :) The funny thing is that how I would tell people, because next year will be my 29th as well!
