My mom arrived at 8:30 to pick up Landon for the day (Whitney was at Adam and Amy's house) and brought a balloon bouquet, caramel corn and a card with birthday cash in it. It was a nice way to start the day.
I had a few hours of solitude to blog and get ready for the day until Lori arrived with balloons as well (it's not a birthday without balloons!).
We took our self-portrait in front of the balloons for leaving for lunch.
Adam ended up meeting us for lunch (originally he'd asked us to stop by his office to visit) at Goodwood and entertained us with his usual hilarity and keen insights.
He surprised me with two ink drawings he'd done while in Mexico last month. I love them!
Lunch was so good!
Birthday sundae for dessert.
After lunch, Lori and I went to see "Grown Ups". It was as ridiculous as we thought it would be, but we laughed.
Afterward, we stopped by Sonic for my free birthday orange cream slush, a diet Coke for Lori and a bag of ice.
When we got back to the house, Adam and Amy were there with the girls hanging out with Randy and the kids.
I was happy to find these phone messages waiting for me.
Randy said, "The mail box is full of stuff, but we saved it for you." They know me so well.
The stash behind the box.
Lori and Amy messed around with their iphones, good times.
The big news of the night is that I won Quiddler!! It was a birthday miracle.I had a really great birthday and felt happy & thankful all day...there was no sign of "being mental" anywhere, woohoo!

Comment Window Tidbit: It's been too quiet around here with the kids both gone, but that will change as soon as I bring Whitney and the cousins back here...yikes!

I'm so glad you had such a great day. I thought it funny Landon wrote the exact times and that Randy knew to leave the mail alone.
I haven't seen Grown-Ups, but the little girl lives here in town and I know her teenage uncles really well.
Again, so glad you had an unmental day.
what a great birthday!
I'm so glad you felt loved, because you certainly deserve to
:)
i have bought myself balloons for my birthday -so yes i love them
i should have left a funnier message than call me back if i would have known landini would have been so awesome at writing it down.
happy birthday!
my brother Ryan and Adam can get me laughing pretty hard!
Oh my gosh. The pic of your lunch makes me want to lick my computer screen. It's also reminding me I'm starving.
I'm glad you had such a great birthday!!!
Mmmm--Goodwood! What a wonderful birthday--from the very beginning with cash and balloons to winning Quiddler at the end! It sounds like your idea of a good day is a lot like mine! Adam's sketches look really cool--what a nice gift. And glad to see that little box made it to your mailbox just in time! Birthdays are so much fun--or at least they can be when all goes right.
Congrats on winning Quiddler- it kind of makes me really happy that you are still playing it and enjoy it so much.
Balloons are a festive must!
Happy UN-mental Birthday!
It looks like you had a great birthday! We love going to Goodwood for dinner. How fun to go to mailbox and find it so packed with goodness!
Sounds like a perfect day. How I love Goodwood! I love the picture of Adam making Lori laugh.
I think it is really sweet that Adam gave you those drawings.
I love balloons too--they are just so happy!
Happy Birthday again!
I LOVE getting balloon bouquets!
You and Lori look lovely in your SP.
Your mailbox makes me happy :)
I'm glad you had such a good birthday filled with balloons, treats, family and friends--and no mental moments!
How delightful to find your mailbox filled to the brim--and that your family saved opening it for you.
missy missy missy .....I am sooo glad that you had a wonderful birthday.. you looked soooooooo cute and Lori of course is always up there....but Adam joining you guys must have been the cherry on top! what an amazing talent he has with drawings...he definately is wonderful....that Lunch looks spectacular! OHHHHH sooo good.
grown ups was the other suggestion I was going to give you......at least a good laugh....
I am so happy that you had a great, un-mental birthday!
I enjoy balloons, but don't care about getting them on my birthday. I tend to think of them when my kids have birthdays, but not so much for adults. Looks like your family knows you well!
Adam's drawings are great – what a personal gift.
I had no idea about birthday orange cream slushes! I enjoy those.
Good thing you have a ginormous mailbox.
So glad you had a great day!
I love balloons! They sell them at our new grocery store and I've been so tempted to buy some just for the heck of it.
I only went to Goodwood once, but I still remember it! So delicious with their bbq sauces. Mmm...
I can't handle keeping score on games, it makes me too nervous!
I'm so glad that this birthday went well for you! Holla!
My brother Gill makes me laugh the hardest in my family. So glad your birthday was a good one. Every mom deserves a special day.
first off that picture of you and lori is so cute. Your birthday looks like a most fantastic day. I'm glad you like Adam's drawings. I love them.
i love that you won the game!
