Happy Birthday To Me

It's my birthday today! Woo Hoo! The weather is dark, gloomy, cold and rainy, but I'm not going to let it get me down, no way! This is the "Happy Birthday" sign we put up above our mantle for every family member's big day. My oldest son Jack just loves it when we can hang this up! It was a tradition passed down from my husband's mom and dad (there you go Tom!) who used to put up the same type sign up for him and his sister when they were kids.

I figured it would be interesting to look up what the traditional traits are for Aquarius, my zodiac sign. Here's what astrology-online has to say:

Friendly and humanitarian

Honest and loyal

Original and inventive

Independent and intellectual

I would have to say I mostly agree with these traits for myself and hopefully most of my friends and family would say so too. It also says my starstone is the turquoise, which I absolutely love to wear! Here are some famous and fabulous Aquarians I share my birthday month with:

• Zsa Zsa Gabor
• Oprah Winfrey
• Christian Dior
• John Travolta
• Justin Timberlake
• Jennifer Aniston

Of course it's been a very makeup birthday so thought I'd share a few of the products that I received this day:

1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance ($17). I eat this stuff for breakfast- no not really, but I can't start my day/face without it.

2. Stila's Kajal eyeliner in Topaz ($18). Another product I use consistently so I'm always in need of a new pencil.

3. Urban Decay's 24/7 glide on lip pencil in Naked ($17). I requested this for my bday because I had read great things about the product and color. I have it on in my birthday pictures but it's slightly worn off from all of the eating and cake!

4. Revlon's eyeshadow in color Peacock ($5). I saw a Revlon ad for this color on actress Jessica Biel (and fellow aquarian Justin Timberlake's girlfriend!) and it looked beautiful so I'm going to see if it makes me just as pretty!

Here is a cool shot we took of our table after our wonderfully delicious dinner at Last Resort in Athens (one of my all time favorite places to eat and dine!). I love the glow of the light from the candle on our yummy cake- there's nothing as special as making that one birthday wish before blowing out the flame!

Happy Birthday to all my fellow Aquarians! My dad (that's the handsome guy next to me above!) is also an aquarius and had his birthday just 5 days before mine, and my mom's was the day before, so we had a lot of b-days to celebrate! I have a feeling this is going to be a good year. I know I have some exciting things in the works which I will share with everyone in blogs to come, but for now a girl can't reveal all her secrets...
