The Joys of Life: fill in the blank friday

The other day I was reading a few blogs and came across The Little Things We Do. On Fridays Lauren posts some questions and then we fill in the blank! Sounds like fun! This is my first fill in the blank Friday, lets see how it goes.

1. Birthdays are: A time to celebrate life and be a little silly!

2. My favorite birthday memory was : when my parents took me to ALCO and pick out my birthday present. I had my eye on a pink tape player that had a strap so it could be transported ANYWHERE! It was so cool. I thought I was pretty cool because I had it. Another cool feature was that it would record my voice. I made a million tapes with random singings and recordings. I loved that thing. I am pretty sure it is being stored in one of many boxes in my parents basement. Ah birthdays!

3. A birthday tradition I (or my family) has is: The birthday boy/girl gets to pick what's for dinner. Now that I have my own little family we are slowly coming up with our own traditions. I purchased a plate that says"you are special" and that will be used for birthdays ( and days when my family needs to feel extra special.)

4. If I had to choose one birthday meal to eat for the rest of my birthdays hence forward, I would choose : The Melting Pot. My husband took me there last year for my birthday and it was perfect. I could do that every year from here on out!

5. My birthday is on August 21st, it's right around the corner.

6. If I could take a birthday trip I would go: Puerto Rico. We had thought about going there for a while and I have reached it and it sounds beautiful.

7. The best gift I've ever received for my birthday was : A purse that my husband picked out. The purse was fabulous but the way he gave it to me was fun and memorable. He hid it in the house and I had to go search the house for it.

I thought I would add some birthday photos:
