33! How can I be?

I always imagined I would be married and that I would have kids

but some how, I never imagined life beyond 25

I'm married, I have two amazing boys
and
I'm another year older
 (which makes me 33- how did that happen?)

On Sunday night my Mom had a birthday dinner for me

Steak, fried potatoes, salad, watermelon, cantaloupe

 and for dessert

CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH WHIPPED FROSTING

and 

WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY ICE CREAM

Oh My Goodness!

I told my Mom that she makes a bigger deal out of our birthdays now 

than she did when we were kids

My Mom just laughs

My parents gave me-

 Some vintage Pyrex bowls

 A purse

A cookbook they picked up at a Flea Market

and 

A pair of silver hoop earrings

The kids went back to school on my birthday so I enjoyed some window shopping by MYSELF

I went to Davenport and looked around

I didn't buy much but found a lot I could have bought if I were rich

I almost had to have this

I LOVE all Philosophy products and let me tell you, this smelled AMAZING

I may have to go back and get some

I also found THE PERFECT purse

The one my Mom got me was a bit bigger than I like (and I like BIG)

So I returned the purse she gave me (with her permission) and searched for a new one

I found it!

The straps were braided and a perfect length

The size was good

I LOVED the color (Not quite gold, not quite champagne)

And then I noticed something about the purse

The buckle was sewn on upside down

SERIOUSLY

It was the only purse like it and it was flawed

I came home and got online praying I could find it online

No SUCH LUCK

I found one that's a different color (I don't love the color) but it might just have to work

I haven't talked my self into it yet
I liked the shimmer of the other one
I'm bummed!

I also found the cutest dress at TJMAXX and passed on it too
I'm kicking my self now


The only thing I bought myself was a Diet Coke at Target


It was a good thing I didn't splurge because my hubby did
He bought me a new computer monitor
and
took the family out to Applesbees


Over all it was a great birthday but I still can't believe I'm 33
