Happy Birthday to ME!

Well, almost happy birthday to me... it's still a week a way. But this year I get to celebrate a birthday week! We don't normally party a whole week for Bdays but I think since it's one of those big birthdays (cough cough, bye bye 20s, cough cough), my hubby thought I should enjoy seven days of celebration. He made me a birthday "advent" calendar! Check out his handiwork:


I have to confess, I did get a little upset last night when he confined himself to the office for arts & crafts time and I was left to deal with breaking up dog & cat fights... we'll see if it was worth it by day 7. Totally kidding, it was very sweet.

Seriously, don't believe these faces, these guys FIGHT (also, don't judge us by our excessive amount of laundry).

So I opened up day one and what did I win?

Foam dollar signs!!! Isn't that sweet? Not really, here's what I really won:


Yep, the hubby made it rain lotto tickets. Thirty scratch offs for my twelfth year of legally being allowed to scratch them. Woohoo! So all those scratch offs and what did I really win??

Two dollars and two more tickets! No big money... wah wah. I must have used up all my luck winning those two gallons of paint. Actually, I'm sure that my $10,000 ticket is still coming, I just have to cash in these three winners and then we'll really be making it rain, probably at the Clermont lounge.
