The most amazing gift I received this birthday came in an edible form. My parents made twelve of these 12-shaped cookies and wrapped them in shirt boxes. They downplayed it and said "Don't get excited". I'm not sure if anything is more exciting than these cookies... 

They made a stencil and mold themselves, and had to bake one cookie at a time since there was only one mold. Worth it, I hope, because it made me SO happy. Awesome. I brought them to the party and everyone loved them. I saved three for myself mostly so I could take this picture ;-). Just for the record, now we are down to 2. 

Seriously, best family ever.

This day definitely deserves a larger post, which is will get. For now I will say that 12-12-12 was an amazing, wonderful, spectacular day filled with laughs and love and friends and family. I am so so so blessed to have so many amazing people that put up with all my crazy. And, just so we can all take a deep breath, I do know I'm crazy :). 

This picture was definitely a process. I was out to lunch with the family at Dopo Teatro, and knew I needed my 12:12 on the 12th picture. I took some advice from a friend, and decided to start recording myself exactly at 12:12:00 and then take a still from 12 seconds in... 12:12:12! So Dad was the lucky one sitting across from who got to do the recording. He did an awesome job. So here I am, 12:12:12 on 12/12/12! 

More to come later, but if you'd like to see all the pictures today, check out the album I posted on Facebook.

Count Down.

My favorite date! I super wish I could go to this concert, but I will be attending my own shindig. Such a fantastic idea, though. I can't believe people are taking advantage by scalping tickets - $60,000! Paying for the tickets knowing the money won't go to charity is almost as bad as selling the tickets in the first place. Ugh.
