I HAD AN AWESOME BIRTHDAY!

So life has been CRUH-AZY this last week or so, caught a cold and felt like POOP! Started feeling better then the hubs caught a cold. Thinking he caught what I had, I was like, WHAT EVER! Then, I got it too. BOO! WTF doesn't my body know I have to run a marathon in 12 DAYS!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

Working hard at work! Busy as ever. I am thankful every day that I have a job that is not affected by the economy. Cancer just doesn't care about the economy. And, I want to work all I can while I still can, until this dang Obamacare forces all the docs to find something else to do. ;) another topic here, my dearies...

On to the subject at hand! MY 29th BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a FAN TAB U LOUS birthday! Hubby spoiled me with some beautiful cowboy boots, MY FIRST PAIR!! And took me to THREE, yes three different Cavenders to find the RIGHT size, only to get the same size at the third store. Apparently each pair of boots are handmade so variations between pairs and sizes is normal. Pft. Who knew!?! I ended up with a Size 10. Wow. Now that's love. He also bought me
this! It's a Nathan Hydration Pack, especially designed for women runners. I used it on my 20 mile run and though it was a little heavy, I had it filled with Gatorade Endurance and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No chaffing!

We danced Saturday night away at Cowboys Dance Hall!!!!!! We SHUT IT DOWN! Of course, I did RUN 20.6 miles that morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! last long run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so I didn't dance as well as I could have...yeah right...just trying to make up excuses for my poor dancing skills...

Then Sunday!! My official birthday! Brought lots of surprises! My wonderful friend Alma and her cutie pie daughter Ashlianne took me to Cypress Valley Zip Line Tours! IT WAS AWESOME! We had a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great friend. Then we headed back to NB for a surprise BBQ POOL PARTY with all my friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a perfect day, many many thanks to all my awesome friends and my wonderful hubby!!

I had a party at work also on Tuesday (yes, I took Monday off as a recovery day and BOY am I glad I did!!!), thanks to all my work peeps! They are the best! Check out this hat one of my docs made me! It's my GAYFISH HAT! THANK YOU DR. ARISHITA! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say I had an AWESOME BIRTHDAY!
