for all of you wondering about the box..

this is what was in my birthday box(a creative zen mp3 player--for my neighborhood walks w/the kids & runs by myself). and no, i didn't open it at midnight wednesday night--i was asleep:

(the box also had some other things like the black armband that's shown, chargers, software, headphones & portable speakers). i also got a 5 pack of mad libs from costco.

i had a nice quiet birthday at home: cupcakes for the kids, and 1 piece of cheesecake (each) for me & tom. we also celebrated saturday night while the kids were baby sat. had a relaxing mexican dinner, did a little shopping & bowling(well..the bowling was just me. i'm not very good, and tom likes watching me try to play).

i still don't feel like i've aged in the past 7 years, but apparently i have if my youngest sister got married last month and my youngest brother is graduating in the next month & a half.
