I am 28 years, 1 day and 12 hours old... in case you were wondering.
We ended up going to Dave & Buster's in RI to celebrate. I do not understand why my birthday makes me so cranky. Weird

Upcycled Top for a little girl
My god daughter's school is having a Dr. Seuss themed week. I am so excited because he is one of my favs. Each day has a different theme for dressing up. Today was Red and White day, because those are The Cat in the Hat colors. I was in Walmart a week ago and saw this shirt
It was a women's size large tube top... BUT it is RED and WHITE and STRIPED... perfect!!!!
I took it in from the back, because it was easier and faster. I used the extra fabric to make straps and a matching hair accessory. It turned out to be a very cute tunic top for her. She wore it over red yoga pants and a white long sleeve tee (cold here!). It was so cute! I then put some Seuss Character stickers on some buttons and pinned them on for more Seussical flair. I was more excited than she was!
So excited! I hope she had fun in school.
I got some pics from her mom!
We added some Dr. Seuss pins at the last minute and she had to wear it over a long tee because it was early March here in New England... Brrrr

Upcoming Birthday
Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun (that is supposed to be ominous music)
My birthday is 1 week from today. I celebrated a close friend's birthday last night. Including her, I have 2 friends and 3 coworkers with February Birthdays. Every year I have 3-5 students with Feb birthdays. Everywhere people gather, there are many February Birthdays. As the shortest month, how is this possible??? What is so romatical in May that so many people have February birthdays? I am curious to know.
I have never really enjoyed my birthday. I love celebrating other's birthdays, surprising them and making them happy. But mine? Bah Humbug. I do not understand. Nowadays, it makes sense, my life's plans were derailed about a year ago and I still find myself picking up the pieces. This is not where I wanted to be at this age, but I have to make the best of it. So now a little gloominess about my upcoming day makes sense. But what about before?
I remember being in grade school ( hello Mr. Mansfield's class) and being gloomy after my birthday. As I got older I was gloomy on and after my birthday. Now- I am gloomy leading up to, on it and after it! Can I just skip the month of February?!?!?!
I dunno
