Its my birthday

Today is my birthday! The only things on my wish list this year, are for my house to FINALLY be finished, and for this little indoor lemon tree. I sent a link to the site to Brad about a month ago, we will see if he comes through! (Yes, I realize that a lemon tree is a very random gift to request.)

But how pretty would this be in my house? That is if I can prevent Keating from taking all of the "balls" off of it!

I usually don't get bothered by being another year older, but this year seems a little different. Maybe it is because I can visualize time passing by in the form of my son growing up and getting bigger. Maybe it is because I'm a year closer to thirty. I remember as a kid celebrating my dads 27th birthday and thinking that was SO old! Well, here I am!! I'm sure 27 will be a great year, after all... Age is just a number!

Have you ever had mixed feelings about getting older?

    I love that lemon tree! I hope you get it! and yes i feel wierd about getting older. Im 27 and will be 28 in august and it just feels a little too creepy thinking Im closer to 30 than 20 now. Im no longer in my "early 20's" or "mid 20's"....so for now im a "20-something" rather than "late 20's" LOL!

    HOLY CRAP--you remember your dad turning 27???
    I remember having very mixed emotions once I got into my later 20's--now that I've got the kids my birthdays feel different. It's sort of about homemade cakes and family time as opposed to girls night out or a fancy dinner somewhere (half the time I don't even remember how old I am). I'm sure that will change again once I get into my 40's and my kiddos are older. Enjoy your day!! I hope you get your lemon tree!! :)

    Happy late birthday! I think that lemon tree is precious- hopefully you get it!

    I agree- something about having kids makes it feel like time is passing in warp speed. I feel like I'll be 40 before I know it.

    Happy Birthday. I have a meyer lemon tree that Kristi gave me for Mothers Day a couple of years ago. I love it. Mine looks almost more like a bush than a tree (we don't know why), but it has put out lemons that were delicious. A little heads up ---- it takes FOREVER for them to grow large enough and ripe enough to pick, but well worth the wait. We keep it on the deck during the warm months and only bring it inside once it gets cold. Good luck !

    Happy birthday! And if it was my birthday, I'd have the same birthday wish :-) (about the house, not the tree - although it is cute!) :-)

    Happy Belated Birthday! I must say I'm just now starting to enjoy my mid thirties (34). For me personally, I've discovered a new state of contentment and confidence. It's hard to explain but I feel like I appreciate life more that I'm a few years older.
