I've had those dreaded uncelebrated birthdays, too. When I complained to my niece about she said that if I had planned my own birthday celebration and invited people to go out to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and gone for a manicure or out to a movie, I would have had a wonderful day. I tend to give people the impression that I'm always busy working, but the truth is..... I'm really not. I choose to be a home body.
But happy birthday and glad you got yourself some shiny new fabric. That would make me feel better any day of the year :mrgreen:
