It's my birthday today. Which would ordinarily be a good thing. But, you see, my husband is a die-hard University of Texas fan. No, that's wrong. He's a UT fanatic. Right down to his UT underwear.
Yep, I said it. He wears UT underwear. Sorry, babe, but some things just come out on the blog.
And it's my birthday so I get to say those things today.
Anyway, so I'm married to a UT fanatic and UT just happens to be playing in a little football game tonight. Something called the National Championship game. Yeah, not so little, right?
So..........I knew I would not exactly be the center of the hubby's attention today. Which is why I declared that my birthday is not going to be today. At least for this year. It's going to be on Saturday, January 9th this year.
Hubby wisely agreed that that was not a bad idea. And, therefore, got himself out of a huge guilt trip from watching the game all night long.
And, he's also preparing for a pretty big trial that's coming up. So, not only is he glued to the TV tonight but he's barely been home all week long and will be gone most of the weekend, including Saturday. Which also means not much time to shop for me.
Hubby wisely (again) agreed that I should just go shopping and buy my own birthday present.
So, I did. I bought myself a present today. Or two. ;)
A little point-and-shoot camera so that the kids can help with photos this year, especially for our Project 365. Although I don't think this camera is going to have the bokeh that I got on this shot with my 50mm 1.4 (see, Torm, you need this lens).
A bread box from Target! I saw a photo and a link to it on Facebook yesterday and just had to have it. It was going to go on my kitchen counter but now I'm thinking I have a use for it in my scrapping room. ;)
A cute new purse! Just a cheapie from Target but it's totally me. :)
And my mom sent some bling from Macy's.
It was a good day.
Happy Birthday to me!
P.S. And also to Alicia and Katie Couric. :)
