Now, I don't have any crafty fun things to share, but I thought, since this is supposed to be MY day, I'd share some fun things about me!
A couple of days ago I received this in the mail...

Overall, this past year has really been good to me. We've had our good family friends move to another city (bad), yet still come back to visit regularly (good!)...which I love. Finding out I have contact allergies to just about...everything, was kind of a bummer, but I still wear perfume daily! Having a cracked tooth (welcome to the late 30s???), or was this just a side-effect of living in Texas and munching on tortilla chips at every Mexican restaurant I visit...which is OFTEN! :) Meeting a wonderful new friend (who's name she happens to share with me) and having the kids get along so wonderfully. Did I also mention that they moved right down the street?! Yeah, I have quite a bit to be thankful for!

Another thing I LOVE to do is dance. I probably look absolutely horrid doing it, but I love it and I sweat like a man doing it, LOL!!! So a surprise gift I received this morning was...

Now, I have Just Dance 2 for the Wii, but was dying to try this one out. We have a Wii and a PS3, but not the XBox 360 with Kinect. Do you know a 37 yr old crafty lady who gets an XBOX 360 with Kinect for her birthday? You do now!!! The kids love it and I love it! I've been sweating all afternoon. :)
So finally, I have some fun things to look forward to in the near future. My darling husband has planned a fun event this evening which I currently know nothing about! He arranged a sitter (all on his own, lol!) and just told me to look nice and be ready by 7 PM. I'm excited. :)
Remember this movie back in the 80s??

I lived, ate, and breathed Pretty in Pink way back when. I even listened to the soundtrack repeatedly when I wasn't able to watch it! So it's girl's night at the local Alamo Draft House next Tuesday, and myself and a big group of friends are getting together to go and see it. I. Can't. Wait!!!
And finally, another date/girl's night out the following weekend at a good 'ole country & western dance bar to kick off my new boots. Life is good. :)
So I hope you don't mind me sharing a little piece of me today. I hope to have something crafty to show you soon!! In the meantime, hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!!!
