I love B.Day's I think they should be celebrated to the fullest. My Hubby takes the day off work to celebrate with me and it is great to have a day completely devoid of obligations and commitments. But unfortunately I was not feeling so great so the big plans were put on hold. I really wanted to go out and do something, so we managed to get to the Pearl District here in Portland for a late lunch. OK, it was "Happy Hour" but who's checking. :)
After a sufficient time getting "Happy" we drove around and I took some photos of the great blend of architecture that has become the Pearl District. (Will be sharing those another day :)
It was, for a long time, a section of disused commercial buildings and home to a major N.W. brewery but over the past 20 years has grown into one of the biggest urban re-gentrification project in North America. A wonderful mix of beautifully renovated warehouses and innovative modern structures, a blend of offices, restaurants, housing, shops and so much more, it is a lively place.
Birthday Candles and Flowers on the table for dinner at home. So, even if I didn't do what I planned I still got to celebrate my B.Day only in a different way. :)
In other news :)Also, Stacey at Artsnark blog awarded me a Sunshine Award for my Blog, Thanks Stacey. :)

Sorry to hear you were feeling a little under the weather for that special day when life celebrates your being a wonderful part of it. Sounds like it was still a most enjoyable day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sorry you weren't feeling great, bit at least this way you can prolong the birthday celebrations a little! ;o)
Hope you have a great year. Off to check out the treasury!
Well happy belated birthday to you! I agree, they should be celebrated to the fullest--and all should know including the grocery clerk, postal worker, random stranger on the sidewalk ha ha :) Sounds like you made the best of it, considering you weren't feeling well. We live in the Seattle area, and I've been to Portland a couple times but never to the Pearl District. Heard great things :)
