A few minutes ago, I celebrated my 32nd birthday at 11:12 p.m. CST. I'm here in bed watching that wacky Duggar family on TLC, while John and Jack sleep beside me. Those silly Duggars are decorating a "Happy Birthday Jesus" (comma inexplicably omitted) bus for a Christmas parade. This may be the only birthday EVER that I share with JC. Thank you, Duggars!
In this picture, you can see a crazy-awesome hat that my friend Sarah knitted for me for my big day. My brain has no idea what to do with knitting needles and a puddle of yarn, so I'm always amazed when other people's brains know these things. Thank you, Sarah. [That was officially my first "shout out" on this blog.] Other highlights include: Thai sweet potato soup, cucumber salad, high-yield milk production, Jack chewing brown rice at PF Chang's, the sweetest card ever from John, and, of course, two new Duggar episodes.
It's really good to be back in town after my Birthing From Within workshop in Santa Fe. Jack traveled incredibly well (I attribute it to his Sagittarius moon), but geez-oh-man is it hard to get through airport security with an infant. I'll write more about the workshop later. For now, I must go to sleep and dream of a new story idea that hit me on the head this morning. I suppose that that was yet another highlight.
An Imbolc birthday full of blessings. And cake.
