Thirty-two things about my thirty-second birthday.

1. Christmas tree pajama pants worn all day long...which seemed like a grand idea (who cares what people think!) until I was seated at a center table in a very open, very crowded restaurant.

2. Clear blue skies,

3. 3 degrees above farenheit,

4. NO SNOW STORM,

5...and thus, clear roads!!!

(the Iowa River, frozen over)

6. Checking out a bookstore downtown.

7. Risking my ears and nose while searching for it outside. Here it is:

7. Barack Obama's "favorite books" display:

8. Barack Obama

9. Barack Obama

10. Barack Obama

11. Barack Obama
12. And, heading over to the children's section...Barack Obama!!! I had no idea our new Pres. would figure so much into my birthday. That man is everywhere.
12. Red noses,

13. And trying to stay warm.

14. Finding time to read this book:

15...which is the sequel to my new favorite book:

16. Not having to make dinner for everyone else...thanks to the Mr. Dijorno (sp?) and his frozen pizzas.

17. And while they eat that mediocrity, I'll enjoy my gluten-free favorites:

18. Smoked salmon sushi rolls.

19. Chocolate.

20. Mango Sorbet.

21. Cheese and grapes, too.

22. And there's a little leftover tilapia in the fridge if I get hungry later.

23-32...I can't think of anything else, but I bet if I turned on the television, Barack Obama could fill up these remaining slots. So I'm calling it a night. Off to read and/or put a frozen pizza into the oven...
