Today is my birthday. Yay! And, overall, it’s been a really good day.

Here are a few highlights:
1. Took my son to his first ever Toddler Storytime at the local library.
2. Had two cakes. One was an ice cream cake and one was just pure yummy.
3. Got books. Score! 🙂 Actually, here is a list of the books I received: The Element Encyclopedia of Secret Societies (should be great for research), Amanda Quick’s The River Knows (should just be great), The Writer’s Guide to Self-Promotion and Publicity, Author 101-Bestselling Book Publicity, and Publicize Your Book!-An Insider’s Guide to Getting Your Book the Attention It Deserves.
Ahem. Yes, there is a bit of a publicity theme going on with some of these books. I want to get as ready as possible for my book releases next year, so I plan to do lots of research. I’ve got two stories I want to finish before I dive into these books and start my PR planning (yep, I said two, I’ll discuss more about that in my next post!). I will post reviews of these PR books for any other writers who may be interested in picking them up. Now, back to my b-day list.
4. Received a lovely bouquet of flowers from a sweet friend.
5. Had the pleasure of viewing some great e-Cards from more very sweet friends.
6. Got to make two birthday wishes because, well, see item number two above.
7. And then there are all the other great gifts. Glitter lotion, chocolate, fun!

Unfortunately, there were a few incidents that marred my perfect birthday joy and the incidents were:
1. My Beta fish died. Died!!!! I was attached to Mr. Fish. Super attached. I’d been promised he would live for at least a year. Did he? No! Barely four months and now he’s gone. Extremely depressing.
2. My garage door came off its track. Since my house is currently on the market, this was so not cool. Hubby spent an hour working on it, though, and it’s now back to working order. (But that whole incident still sucked!!)

Okay…end of birthday recap.
