Happy Birthday... To ME!

Today is my birthday... well, at least for another 30 minutes.  Or, 54 minutes, if you want to count an entire 24-hour period from the minute I was born.  In either case, it's almost over.  And it was pretty anticlimactic.  But that's ok.  I think that's what happens when you turn 32.  Holy shit, that looks weird to type.  Anyhoodle, I'm so unbelievably happy that I didn't have to spend my birthday alone in a hotel room this year.  I'd rather be home and bored, than on the road and alone! 

I started my day by sleeping in a bit, working for a while, and then listening in on a conference call.  I'll stop so you can contain your jealousy.  I met my mom, my aunt Carrie and Janice at Salt City Burger and had a very yummy birthday lunch, then went in search of a case for my new phone.  Finding one I like is proving to be more difficult than I anticipated!  Suggestions???  Anyone???

After I got home, I worked for a while and then went over to my mom and dad's house for dinner.  We had steak and the leftover pasta that I made the other night.  I helped my dad figure out some apps on his iPad and hung around for a bit.  Kind of a nice, low-key night chillin' with the fam. 
The highlight of my day though, was the gift I got from my parents... A spankin' new Kindle!!!  I've been wanting an e-reader for a while now and am sooo super excited to have one!  I realized how difficult reading on the plane is for me (motion sickness, cramped space, heavy hardbacks, etc.) and decided a Kindle would be a good investment.  I'm actually looking forward to my trip next week so I can really put it to use!
In anticipation of the arrival of my pressie, I ordered myself a cover for it last week and it should be arriving tomorrow.  It was on sale, so I don't need a lecture!  But you can tell me how cute it is...

And can I just tell y'all how much I love my iPhone!?  It's fabulous!  I'm sure it'll take me 3 months to figure out all its functionality, but for now, it's great.  If anyone has any suggestions for apps you absolutely can't live without, lemme know!

Hope y'all are having a great week!!!

iPhone cases?

Go to getuncommon.com - you get to choose your own photo that you choose and, if you hunt around on the net, you can even get a coupon code. Other than that, Incase is an awesome brand.
