Thursday Thirteen #31 -- Birthday Edition!

(header courtesy of Write From Karen)

Thirteen presents I got for my birthday (which was yesterday!)

1. Slippers

2. A bottle of Gewurztraminer

3. Three great-smelling hand soaps

4. A white shirt and brown trouser outfit

5. A green, sparkly, already-sharpened pencil

6. The last piece of watermelon bubble gum

7. Two print blouses

8. My youngest's favorite Wiggles video ("you can watch it whenever you want!")

9. Khaki dress slacks

10. Dinner from Arby's so I didn't have to cook

11. A "book bag" made out of printer paper and transparent tape

12. A dozen cut-out hearts artistically draped over the living room chair

13. A ton of hugs and kisses!



Yes, I was spoiled -- and loved every minute of it! And to keep the fun going, I'm holding a blog contest through Friday at midnight. Anyone who posts between now and then is in the drawing for a prize! So be sure to drop by this weekend to see if you've won!

Awww, Happy Birthday! Sounds like you hit the Jackpot. I'm trying to decide which ranks higher, the hugs and kisses, the hearts or the Wiggles vidoe. Okay, it was a tough call, but I'm going for the hugs and kisses.

Hope you had a very special day! Happy TT!

Wow, that's a lot of presents. I especially like the Wiggles video and the "book bag". Very inventive and filled with love.

Glad you had such a special day.

#6 was just offered up? Getting the last piece of anything is always a coup.

Don't you love it when everyone makes an effort? And that wine? Love it, it's my all time favorite.

Great list! I think my faves are the green sparkly pencil (How fab that it was already sharpened!) and the Gewurztraminer. :D

Lucky you!! I'd love a green sparkly pencil - I love writing instruments of all kinds. Are you gonna share that bottle of wine? holds out empty wine glass I love that kind.
