birth.day :: happy
another happy block to celebrate!
I had the day off today to celebrate my birthday. People keep saying it's the "last in my thirties" - at 39 - makes me feel like I should go into hiding next year. Why do people associate 40 with black anyways? It's just a number, right?
Anyways, I love birthdays - and my own is no exception. For me it means a day off. I take the day off of work every year because it seems an apt gift to give myself. My husband and I went to lunch and then saw Iron Man II. Pretty low key, but it's not really about high expectations, it about relaxing and reflecting - plus there was car knitting.
Mason Dixon Dishcloths = car knitting
But the day is almost over - ack! I hate to see it come to an end. I am hoping to bind my "happy quilt" tonight so I can take it to work tomorrow to use it as a shroud over the piles. I hope you did something happy today too!

Happy happy! I turn 30 this summer and I'm excited, I don't get the big deal about ages either, everyone gets older! Glad you had a great day!
Happy Birthday! I'm glad you had a great day.
Happy Birthday! So happy to hear that your husband is doing better and that you had a nice birthday together. 39 is awesome, as is 40 and all the rest. Enjoy!
Happy happy birthday!! Hope it was fabulous..and remember to enjoy birthday week!!!
Lovin' the quilt too! Can't wait to see it all done!
Happy Birthday! Forty is a great age. Fifty, which I turned in 09, freaked me out a little, but it was fine once I got there!
I think that sounds like a nice birthday. Low key with the hubby sounds perfect to me. I am glad it was good, sorry it didn't last longer. I can't wait to see your quilt-as-you-go quilt all finished. I love how you fussy cut the centers.
Happy, Happy Birthday! I really, can't wait to see your finished Happy Quilt!
great idea to make your birthday a holiday! you deserve it! :)
Happy belated birthday!! It sounds like it was nice one...and I am in love with those spatulas! I keep hearing that 40 is the new 30, so you've got another 11 years before you go into hiding. :) (Actually, I have no idea what the big deal with age is either. In college, I worked in an office with four women, each in a different decade of life from 20 to 50. Each swore hers was the best decade to be in, that things only got better in each one. I thought that was pretty cool and it has given me a lot of confidence when I start worrying about the future.)
Happy Birthday, belated though! I turned 39 this May too.....guess we'll commiserate on the big 40 next year. I don't feel 39, let alone 40!
Glad to hear hubby is doing well.
And, yes, those yarns and socks are lovely!
I know I'm late, but Happy Birthday! Sounds like a terrific day!
oh...I am a bit late but sweet birthday wished to you Stacy~sounds like you had a wonderful time...you will just keep getting better ;)
It's a great gift to give yourself the day of work. Forty is just a number and life is always what you make it.
Happy Birthday!! BTW, what pattern are those washcloths? I have both of the Mason-Dixon books and I don't remember that one? Love the quilt too!
Happy birthay, and 40 is not a big deal - really!
Love your dishcloths -- my favorite car knitting too.
Blessings,
G
