It is officially the beginning of my birthday weekend and I am so excited!!

Don't you just love birthdays?

I, for one, take full advantage of the occasion and throw around the birthday card like it's nobodies business.  Luckily, I have an amazing hubby that treats me like a princess and can't help but give in to my birthday requests.  I just have to bat my eyes and give a sweet smile and say, "but babe, it's my birthday."  And like magic, it works every time.

This was the outfit I wore to work on my (day before) my birthday.  I just love Fridays because they are jeans days and I am totally a jeans person.  Anyhoo, I was inspired by Elaine with this outfit.  When I saw her post, I instantly thought I could totally recreate this!  And so I did and here it is.

I know you are all dying to know about the rest of my birthday gifts.  I told you about the first one here.  Hubby warned me that the second gift was a funny one and I had no idea what to expect.  When I pulled  the Shake Weight out of the box, I was definitely surprised.  My hubby is such a silly fellow.  

But the shake weight actually seems to work.  Or at least it feels like I was getting a workout.  We'll just have to wait and see how buff I get after using it for a while :)
