Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterday was my Birthday, it was a big one and if you don't know how old I am then that is fine with me. No just kidding...I am now 30! What a weird thing to say. I received some lovely, sweet cards and each one I read I was like "who is this for? who is 30? It is not mine surley." So aside from the denial I had an amazing time. For some reason though celebrating my birthday in a foreign counrty with out all the usual faces was strange. A bit like a dream. I had to keep remindig myself this is a celebration of your birth. Very strange. Ian arranged the party at a cool little underground club in Marylebone with the best Mojhito's (besides Heather's) and frozen margarita's. Yummy. I drank a birthday shot, my first shot ever (which i will not be repeating amytime soon)that the bartender gave me. As I sat in the little cave we were in looking around at all my new found friends I did feel a sense of peace and joy. They are all such beautiful interesting poeple that made time to hang with me on my day. I am so not worthy of that and am so intensly grateful.
All in all i had an amazing birthday and I hope to have another one in Tulsa with my best friend and family.
I will post some photo's of the big day when my computer is fixed in about aweek. Not sure if anyone even reads these anymore but if you do you can see the photo's then.
Thank you to everyone who called and sent cards and generally made me feel special on the special day. YOu are all amazing and I am overwhelmed by your kindness.

My Mom is so cute.

Not much to say today. Feeling a bit ruff not sure why. This morning I woke up with a head ache,thinking I might have an allergy to alcohol. I only had 1 glass of wine last night with dinner and a few nights ago had a g & t and both days woke up with a head ache. Not sure what is going on. Anyway Tom and I are doing a photo shoot hopefully this week or next week. Waiting on lights from London. Will be posting some of the pictures if they turn out Ok.

Thanksgiving is on Thursday and Ian is cooking. Woohoo. I am in charge of desert and decorations. Thanks goodness for Thanksgiving.

Guy Fawkes

Saturday night was Guy Fawkes night or Bonfire Night in the UK. Typically there are huge bonfires and Fireworks. Since my boys were away in sunny california lapping up the sunshine I had no one to go out with. Poor me. Don't feel sorry for me yet, because I was invited out by an old acquaintance named Jaci that has moved to London from Nashville. I new her from Raze days and hung out with her a few times in Nashville. We reconnected over My Space and had a fabulous time Sat night. We met for drinks at a cafe on the Thames with some people she new and then watched the amazing and very loud fireworks while we belted out our favorite American songs like The Stars Spangled Banner and You're a Grand 'Ole Flag. It is a good thing Ian wasn't there as you can imagine he hates it when I do that. When I see fireworks it just isn't right with out the right Anthems.

Mom and Ron are here for the week. My Mom is such a paradox that she is English, but has lived in the States so long she seems American and keeps talking about England like she doesn't know it. It is kinda weird, but fun. So the rest of the week wil be spent hosting the Rents around town. So Happy Halloween and Happy Guy Fawkes Day.
