Today has been fantastic.

I initially wanted to update that on Facebook I read an article talking about the night sky for the winter solstice, and when I left the movies I saw a stunning full moon in exceptional largeness as it rose into the night's sky. It was so beautiful! For the next two nights we will be presented with a meteor shower, look up at the sky and enjoy it, that's my birthday wish for you.

I had the rare opportunity to spend my birthday in beautiful weather. It was warm enough to wear my dress. My mom took pictures, and we took some selfies before our brunch outing and another with my dad included at Pig n Pancake. I will respect their privacy by not posting photos of them, but I'll share a couple she took....





The new Mary Poppins was terrific, I absolutely loved it. I felt bad for my Dad, it was sooooo not his type of movie, but he liked it...hahaha. I got two paychecks today plus a holiday bonus which was awesome, I got a birthday song from my grandparents which made me so happy and a phone call from my brother which meant so much to me. My mom is making the family favorite Poor Man Stew, a recipe from my great-grandma that has its roots back in the Great Depression...that's four generations of families making this stew, and I'm happy to have it for my birthday. Lots of birthday wishes today. I was very happy to get my first ever PC birthday shout out in the Kudos sub-forum from raging vortex today. Thank you raging vortex, that meant a lot to me.

I had a great birthday today. Thank you for all the birthday wishes!
