:rules:Although I am still busy trying to get the store fully ready (Zen Cart decided to release a major upgrade two days after I got everything all set up. Damn!), I must take a little break today. It’s my birthday. As such, there are some rules…in no particular order.

1. Sleep in.:sleep: I can cross this one off, already done. Especially easy since I stayed up until 3 working on the website.

2. Eat sweets. :naughty:No diets allowed! For one day, whatever sounds good at the time. I know what you’re thinking…it’s 10 a.m. and I’ve already started on this one (my naughty DH bought me an éclair). Shut up. My rules. My day.

3. Go to lunch with friends. My friends and I have a long standing tradition of birthday lunches. I don’t know how it got started, but it’s fun.:eat:

4. Knit, golf, run…one or more of my favorite things on my day to do what I want to. And read some knit blogs. I am WAY behind.

5. Year in review. I like to spend some time thinking about the year since my last birthday. Good or bad, I like to remind myself of some lessons learned.

:champagne:6. Champagne. My favorite drink (refer to number 2, although champagne is not that caloric and oh, by the way, it’s my birthday, I can do what I want!)

6.1 Toast to another year of a fabulous life. I have so much to be grateful for and I like to remind myself of it frequently!

(This is a new one for this year)

7. Invite my blog friends to a virtual party. You should try to follow my rules for today to help me celebrate my birthday. Don’t let anyone discourage you! You owe this to me!

Oh and don’t worry if you miss celebrating today…I usually do a whole birthday week.
