Happy Birthday To Me

My birthday is a week from Sunday (April 23rd for those of you calendarly challenged) and I'm trying to think of fun things to do so that I can enjoy this birthday. I will be (gulp) 31.

There is a new Cold Stone Creamery opening near me and I think that it might be fun for my family and I to go there and get some goodies for my birthday.

My happiest birthday memories were the ones that I spent with my family when my Grandmother was alive. She used to make sure that my birthdays were always fun and tht we always did something special. I remember one year as a little girl, my mother spent all day making me a Minnie Mouse Birthday cake. The thing was unreal. This is what it looked like. Impressive huh?

Anyway, I think that my 30th birthday was pretty special as well. My Aunt took me for a day of beauty for my 30th birthday. I spent a week with her and one day we went to the spa and had facials, massages and I had a manicure. Then the next day we went and I had a pedicure. We spent the rest of the week hanging out and shopping.

Usually, I take the week of my birthday off and spend the week relaxing, playing with my niece, seeing my family and just hanging out. This year, I can't take the week off because I'm in training for my new job. It's a bummer, but I'll survive.

Now, I would like to hear about your favorite birthday memory. I would like to hear your funniest, most outrageous, or best birthday ever stories!
