The Blonde Leading the Blind

With May Sales Conference madness and Mother’s Day mayhem behind us, SpiderHusband invited my family over to partake of Pizza King goodness and Dairy Queen cake deliciousness on Saturday to celebrate my birthday.

I got a gift card to my favorite of all favorite stores, Aveda, from my brother, Michael, and his wife, Kendra.

And if that isn’t enough of a sweet deal, my mom, who was not supposed to get me another gift since she already bought me a ton of clothes for my birthday, bestowed me with another Aveda card.

Just so you know, Mom, it is only my love for Aveda and the fear of you taking back my gift card that prevent me from posting your picture in this entry.  I’ll be spending the gift card shortly, then all bets are off.  : )

This gathering signaled the end to what seemed like a month of birthday celebrating with gifts, gifts, and more gifts, like these presents that I got earlier in the week:

A winning scratch-off lottery ticket from my sister-in-law, her Bucket-to-be, and their crew.  You’ve provided SpiderHusband hours of amusement as I basked in the glow of my good fortune and riches…all $1 of them.  Hey, a winning ticket is a winning ticket, right?

Two new shirts from Old Navy…in, wait for it…colors other than black and white…thanks to some birthday cash from my awesome mom-in-law, Connie.

Aveda skin care products from Cathy.  Did I mention I like Aveda?

Whoo-hoo!
