Happy Birthday to Me

Yesterday was my birthday.

It was really great.  Here's why:

 * My daughter in college with some help from her roommate made me a customized birthday video and put in on facebook.  If you haven't seen it, you can ask to be my friend and take a look.  It is really special.  Technology is awesome when you are far away from people you love.

 * Throughout the day I got lots of e-mails and facebook messages from family and friends.  They were all very special and so much more meaningful since I am so far away!  Thanks, everyone!

 * I am staying at the house of some friends of ours in the state of São Paulo.  On my birthday, I had a delicious lunch that I didn't have to cook OR clean up after.  That is rare!
(Giovanni eating his beans and rice.  Can you tell how much he enjoyed it?)

 * After lunch, I gave myself a birthday present.  While Giovanni was taking a nap, I got a book and floated around in the pool reading for an hour or two.  I can't think of anything more relaxing than that.  (by the way, the book is called "The Book Thief" - Cheryl, you were right - I'm loving it.)

 * Then at night we went out for pizza and birthday cake.  Yummy!

 * I went to sleep listening to rain pounding on the roof.  A perfect ending to a great day.

  1. Looks like you had a great birthday ~ I'm jealous of the pool time. We are expecting snow (again) here tonight. I'm so ready for Spring. So glad you got to enjoy your special day.
