A Day Like Any Other

Today I turned 30 again....at least according to Daughter #2. Read about it here: Seis De Mayo.

Before my DH left for work he asked, "So what are you going to do today on your birthday?" I said, "I'm going to do whatever I want. I'm going to eat whatever I want, and quilt and just have fun." He said, "So it's going to be a day like any other?" It's true. I really am spoiled! Every day I do whatever I want! I do have fun!

You know, you get to a certain age and birthdays really are no big deal. I wouldn't mind skipping them all together. Would that make me stay 30?

What did I do today? I quilted this pretty thing:

Don't you love it?

A lovely springtime quilt.
It was this lady's first quilt ever! Can you believe it? She's a natural!
I enjoyed quilting it for her very much!
And then I recalled one of my favorite birthdays ever. My 40th. (Wait a minute! How did I celebrate my 40th when I turned 30 today???...you figure it out!) For my 40th my handsome, darling husband rented me a brand new Jaguar and took me to dinner (I drove!) at Joe's Crab Shack in Newport Beach. Later we went to a concert to see Styx, REO Speedwagon, and Survivor (not the show, the band!) It was an awesome weekend. That saddest part was when I had to give back the Jaguar!

So today I just took it easy and quilted and put in some favorite DVD's...LA Story, Under The Tuscan Sun and Pride and Prejudice, 2005. These are all DVD's I can have playing and can quilt at the same time.

Side note: I must remain loyal to the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice too. Oh, Colin Firth, I remain your most loyal fan! I better watch that one tonight. That would complete my day!

But...when I get to this part of Pride and Prejudice 2005, I always stop everything and drool. You see, this Mr. Darcy has "bewitched me!" Enjoy:
