But that’s okay.  I certainly don’t feel my age, and I don’t really act my age.  And now I have an adorable little baby boy to help keep me young.  We had a relatively quiet day.  Last night Bill made delicious strawberry cupcakes.  Very yum!  I had one as a pre-breakfast.  Then Bill made me delicious birthday ebelskivers for actual breakfast.  He and Joshua got me some super great gifts which we opened this morning.  All the parents called even though I didn’t talk to all of them.  Bill was out at a yoga workshop in the afternoon so it was just me and the little guy.  I did some unpacking while he napped and then he kept me busy for the rest of the time.  I have a few calls to return tomorrow, but I appreciate everyone trying to talk to me on my birthday!

We did make it out for a special birthday dinner.  We had a groupon for Mexican food, including Margaritas, and I have missed having Margaritas.  I’m not a big drinker but I do enjoy me a Margarita every one in awhile. Joshua was very well behaved and dinner went smoothly.  Then we came home and it was dinner time for Joshua, then bath time and bed time.  And it is certainly bed time for this mama!

On a slightly different topic, I have been doing a little bit of crafting.  Not much, but I knit a hat for the baby and I’m working on a shawl.  I’ve been meaning to take photos and blog about the projects.  Don’t worry, this won’t be a full-time baby blog, but right now he’s just so darn cute I can’t help myself.

I have also been thinking about my goals for the new year so I put up some yarn to destash on ravelry.  I should still destash more, and I might.  At least this is a start.  I queued up some projects too.  I’ve got really good stuff to work on, unfortunately I’m lacking the time at the moment.  I also counted the number of books on my “to be read” bookcase.  It came in at 75 which was not as bad as I thought it would be.  Those are actual books and doesn’t include what I have on my kindle.  My main concern is the amount of physical stuff I have which is why I can easily ignore the electronic bits.  In the process of unpacking I’ve been looking at lots of my fabric and am kind of excited to work on some projects!  I also really want to tackle my photo albums.  I have the photo albums from when I was a child which I am redoing since the original ones are falling apart, and I have a bunch of photos that need to be put in albums.  It is a time consuming project but I should try and spend one hour a week on it.  At least then I would make some progress on it.

That’s what’s going on here!  Birthday girl, out!
