I'm learning that expectations can ruin anything, so when it comes to expectations on your birthday, my advice is the keep them humble.
I mentioned in the 12 days of Catherine (November 1-12) post to take the birthday bull by the horns, but I wanted to stop and take a moment to say it's really all about attitude.
On the 13th I will be able to tell you good things about all 12 days. Good because sometimes I make it happen, like scheduling a hair appointment or pedicure. Good because sometimes others make it happen, like this year I got an email on the 1st from my niece in Amsterdam and at the end she said, "Happy 1st Day of Catherine." :)
But mostly, good because good things happen everyday and it's about learning to acknowledge with gratitude the life you have been given (OMG, I sound like Oprah).

I think you are an Oprah "groupie"!
I love reading your post! Consider our adventure to Corpus Saturday the 4th day of Hanna treat!!!
Denise...I did!
As a matter of fact when Raymond asked what I was doing on the 4th I said, "I'm going to scrapebook stores in Corpus with a friend...and SHE'S driving!"
I shouldn't mention that I spent half my grocery money when I got there (so worth it).
Thanks for the "drive-thru" lunch.
Love the picture of your mom by the way! The story you told me about it makes it even better. If you come in today I'll show you a picture of my scrapbooking room.....
