"Happy Birthday to you
you're 102
you still go to pre-school
you miss your mommy
your mommy's at work
she fired a jerk
she hired a monkey
to do your homework."

It was a special day here at Shiny Red Houses because today was my birthday.
I know you want to know so I'll tell you. I turned 37.
My day started beautifully because I was able to sleep until 9:30. Those of you who are mothers know that the gift of sleeping late is precious indeed.
Know what I love about having a birthday in July? There's almost always a new Harry Potter book or movie coming out. This year is no exception so we went to see the new Harry Potter movie.
There is so much to be learned from Harry Potter. For example, sexy bad boys would make lousy husbands.
Take Sirius Black. Sexy in that disheveled motorcycle riding devil-may-care wizard fighting for the forces of good kind of way. Very fun for maybe a week and then the dark brooding would get to be too much.
Even Harry is too tortured for me.
Know who I would run off with and marry? George and Fred. The Weasley twins are smart and funny. Seriously, those boys know how to laugh! Ladies, let me tell you that funny is much more important in the long run than brooding.
No, I would not marry both of them. I'm not that kind of girl. One Weasley twin would be enough for me.
Anyway, I ate popcorn for breakfast and lunch and had an ice cream cake for dessert. Such decadence.
I find myself enjoying getting older. I love my family, my house, my dogs. I have all that I need for a happy life.
It's not perfect, please understand that.
But it is definitely happily ever after.
