Celebrate the Small Things - Birthday edition

Hi gang!  First of all, many thanks for the prayers, positive thoughts, and well-wishes for my friend.  I'm happy to say that she is showing signs of gradual improvement, which is a good thing.  She's not out of the woods yet, but I'm optimistic!

This week, I'm celebrating Mister's birthday. Technically, his birthday isn't until Monday, but we are going out to dinner with family on Saturday night so I'm counting the celebration this week.  He wanted to have a nice steak, so we picked out a local steakhouse and made reservations. Hopefully the food will live up to his expectations!

Keep your fingers crossed I can get a lot of writing done this weekend--my next deadline got moved up a couple of weeks, so I really need to buckle down.  I hate panicking at the last minute, so I try to set a steady pace for myself to avoid procrastinating.  I just have to overcome the activation energy barrier (science nerd reference!) to sitting down and getting started--once I do though, I think things will go well.

What are you celebrating this weekend?  Any big plans for Valentine's Day? Please share!

If you've been reading my blog, you know that Fridays are reserved for a post where I celebrate the little things that have happened during the week. This is a blog hop created by Vikki and now hosted by Lexa Cain, and it's one of my favorite blogging things to do.  I encourage you to check out her blog and the full list of participants, because who doesn't love reading about good things?
