The countdown has begun...

to February 23, my birhtday. I love my birthday. Poor Lee. I really started counting down a month ago. He makes fun of me all the time because I make the whole month of February "my birthday." And he's so sweet, he puts up with me. Anyway, I don't love it because of the presents or parties or anything. I haven't done anything exciting for my birthday for years. Last year we ate at Soulshine...just me and Lee. I guess I like it because it's just my day! Last year Lee looked all over for an ice cream cake and finally found one at Marble Slab. So he called to order it and told them to put "Happy Birthday, Jess." And this is what we got! It was hilarious, and we're still laughing about it. Who knows what we'll do this year? We've talked about a few options, but it's still too early to make definite plans. I'll probably be so tired I'll want to just come home and go to bed!
