“What do you need for your birthday?”

This is a question my mother asks me every year, only this year, I had no answer. We are 8 months into our new way of life, and it is looking like we will have even more time at home if rates go up in the cold weather. Honestly, if I needed something, I would’ve ordered it for myself by now. 

I could’ve answered “a case of wine” or a “morning to sleep in” but didn’t, so I graciously accepted the envelope of cash while we sang and ate cake Sunday night. Confession: I will likely spend most of it on wine anyway, but I did buy myself a new pair of leggings.

Athletic wear is basically my uniform these days – I wear leggings to exercise, and then I change into a new clean pair of leggings afterwards until cozy pajamas go on at night. I looked at these multiple times on prime day and had regret when I didn’t buy them. So happy birthday to ME! They are $29.99 and (bonus) they match my new green leopard phone case. They’re so soft and will fit in with my legging uniform wardrobe nicely.

Truth is, I don’t need anything. I have a wonderful family, a warm house & roof over our heads,  and a supportive spouse who is helping me figure out my new path. But now I can brainstorm in my new soft, comfortable & affordable pair of leggings!
