Good evening friends!!
Well it's November.  What does this mean?  It means that in a few days I will be 36. sigh. 
Can I just take you back to my weekend?  I went to see my niece for her birthday, she is a member of the sorority that I was in in college. I pulled up to the house in a minivan. MY SORORITY....in a MINIVAN. This is not in all caps because I shouldn't be driving a minivan, I should.
 It was odd because I felt like I lived there 10 minutes ago, and here I am in a minivan with an amazing husband and 2 perfectly squirrely kids! I am very blessed, but realize that time goes so fast. (I will leave out any Ferris Bueller quotes you might be expecting) 

So in light of that, even though 36 is not that exciting of a birthday, I am going to make it count.
I saw this on pinterest (along with 5,000 other things) It is called the birthday project. I will be doing 36 random acts of kindness with my family in honor of my birthday.  We have started ahead of time, because that is alot to do in one day! Here is the link with alot of cool ideas http://mixmingleglow.com/blog/?p=1358#comment-246015

I will often do random acts of kindness, but do not mention it. This is not because I don't want applause ( I don't), I think it takes away from the kindness if you tell people.  The idea is that you do it with the thought that you will not get anything in return, including recognition.  SOOOO.....even posting this makes me feel weird, but I am very ready to do this as a birthday present to me.  Stay tuned for the actual birthday post to be coming mid month.  Until then just keep in mind, if you wish me a happy birthday on facebook I will be asking you to do a random act of kindness for my birthday. I will then add those add those to the acts of kindness on my blog.  You have been warned (in a nice way, in all lower case letters...) !
Peace to you all! L
