Just an Average SKIRT

Yesterday was my birthday, I’m officially 36 (still mid-thirties according to my friend Kristina). I had the brains to think ahead and take yesterday off, everyone should get their birthday off, it should be federal law. Up at 6 and on the bike for 7am, I had 53 miles to do mostly low zone spinning, BJ had 50 miles so it was fun to ride with him. On the trainer the ride took a little less than 4 hours, just in time to throw on my yoga stuff and catch the noon C2 class at Core Power Yoga. I was ready for solid food to say the least, we hit Whole Foods for a delicious lunch then home for a quick shower and off to receive a massage. The other part of that federal law will be a complimentary massage on your birthday, as a tax payer that pays for a ton of crap I’m against, I would be quite pleased to help pay for other people to receive massage.

After my massage I hit Lucy to spend the gift card my sister gave me the night before and then home for my birthday dinner of ol’school NY pizza, wine and caesar salad. Just what I wanted, you see last year I got bamboozled at the St. Julien and spent my 35 birthday half drunk and hungover. I still don’t think I’ve recovered fully and this year I just wanted a health filled day with my hubby and animals. So a 5 hour workout followed by massage followed by shopping followed by eating pizza and playing scrabble in my donut pjs was exactly what I wanted and exactly what I got.

My mom and dad sent me a Peace Lily which is just the perfect gift for me, I need more house plants, BJ gave me the iPod shuffle so now I can have one iPod for working out and my Nano for massage music, Susie (sista) took me out to dinner Monday night plus a few presents (always too generous that one)…lots of calls and well wishes from people close in my life. I didn’t reach out to the world yesterday but felt touched all day. It was the low key lovely birthday celebration that I wanted.
