Today is my mom, Sharon's, birthday.

I wanted to give her a shout out on my blog on her special day.

She's the woman who is my hero, and who has always pushed me to be better.

When I fall, she's the one whose arms I still rush into for comfort.

I can't tell you how much her influence has shaped me, and made me into the happy, fat blogger that I am today.

In today's post, I wish her the happiest of birthdays, and thank her again for the name for my new car.

You see, my vehicle is named Sambooki Maytag. It's a powerful, beautiful name my mother suggested for my sister's youngest baby (when Debbie was pregnant with my youngest niece, Kaiya).

Unfortunately, my sister Debbie was a hater about it, and didn't use the name.

I took it for my CRV, giving it the full name of Sasquatch Sambooki Maytag.

Thanks, for the great name, mom.

Have a wonderful day. I love you.
