Gee, what in the world shall I post about today?

I could post about the race last weekend that Preston and Dad medaled in, but I couldn't do because I couldn't breathe, but that's not a very pleasant memory. I could post about my job or my calling, but there's nothing new with either of those. I could post about the book I'm currently reading, which I am also thoroughly enjoying, but I'm not done yet and I want to finish it before writing about it. I could post about BYU football, but a lot of people are already doing that. I could post about my birthday...okay, I'll post about my birthday. I had a lovely day. Mom made me (and Preston and Dad) an amazing Sunday meal and a birthday cake with orange flavored frosting. Here is a picture of me blowing out the candles.
Here's another picture of me. You'd think after twenty-six years, I would have figured out how to keep my eyes open for pictures.

I know it's more blessed to give than to receive, so it's probably more blessed to talk about giving than it is to talk about receiving, but I haven't really given much lately and I have received a lot, so I'm going to briefly talk about that. I got some cool gifts, including an awesome scrapbooking organizer/tote thing, Close to My Heart scrapbooking supplies (those are way better than the ones I ever buy because I'm cheap), additions to my Little House on the Prairie series, several awesome gift cards, flowers from my bosses (random insertion - my boss calls me "E" and I laugh every time he does because I think it's funny), flowers from Preston (awwww, sweet) and several very nice e-mails. Thank you to everyone who remembered. And thank you to everyone who didn't for reading about it anyway.

Next time, I'll try to write about something other than myself for a change. Ta-ta until then.

Happy birthday again! I'm glad you had a nice day. And don't worry... I can see a hint of your left (to me) eye in the picture with your cake so they're not COMPLETELY closed. I also have a scrapbooking tote that I LOVE that I got at Costco... I think you should post yours so I can see.
PS. I like posts about yourself so feel free to keep them coming!
PPS (or is it PSS?)- Sorry we did an e-card this year instead of mailing one. We're not that cheap, I just figured I'd rather be timely. Hopefully next year, I can combine the two, and have a timely snail mail card delivered to your door. :)
