Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Well, not today, but September 24th was my birthday!   Happy you-don't-want-to-know-how-old-I-am birthday to me!  Let's just say I'm now considered in my upper-30's. 

You may remember this post  (the last part of it) where my car became stranded in Tropical Storm Issac.  Well, my car was totaled and here is my new car (yes, silver again for the 4th time since owing vehicles!)  I love my new car plus it's a Lexus, which means barring any future car floods, I will have this car for a long time.  My MIL has had an RX350 for 13 years and it's still gorgeous and purrs like a kitten!  This car is nice and big too, while fitting my demands for a sedan rather than an SUV, which is perfect for our family!

Poor Lallie, if she drops something, she has to wait until I stop for me to pick it up, I can't reach it.  I LOVE IT!  And Lallie does love it too.  She loves how she can see out of the back seat (not something she could do in the BMW) and the doors open and shut easily which means Miss Independent can finally get in and out on her own.  Husband says it's my birthday gift (it's a replacement).  :-)  I love you, Husband.  :-)

My REAL birthday gift was this, my new Tory Burch Amanda Dome Tote.  Isn't it pretty?  :-)   Yes, I picked it out and yes, Husband purchased it well before my birthday and yes, I swindled it out of him early.

But not until after he pulled this on me.  The box arrived and I saw him intercept it at the UPS truck.  He proceeded to put the box in the trunk of his car.  After 24 hours, I said, "Honey, I know you bought a handbag, I saw the charge on our statement.  It's really not good for it to sit in the heat of the car."  So he retaliated by taking it out of the box and sitting the bag within reaching distance for about an hour.  I tried so hard not to look at it.  Well, by the end of the night, I had it in my hands.  :-) 
 

Happy Tuesday Y'all!

  2. You are a bad girl! You had nothing to look forward to on your birthday. You deserve a (belated) birthday spanking :-).

    1. It's not my fault! He could have waited until closer to my birthday and then had it shipped to his office (or used a different form of payment.) Don't blame it on me! Hahaha!! :-) xoxo.

    1. We almost bought white but the only interior color with the white they had on the lot was alabaster. With a five year old? I don't think so! That was our first choice too. Congrats on your new car too, Twin! :-)
