How My Birthday Went

I wanted to mostly sleep for my birthday so I could for once be rested by Monday for work. So for the most part I did. I had many dreams and when I remember them I will tell you. Eventually I'll remember them. Well, ok I did wake up early. Mom and hubby dragged me out of bed around 9 or so to take me out for breakfast for my b-day before mom had to go to work. That was nice of her to think of my tummy. I had French toast. Then I went back to bed.

Hubby woke me up in early afternoon to tell me someone was here to visit me. I said without opening my eyes, "Do I like this person?" And my sister's voice said, "No, I'm the most horrible person you know." I thought that was funny so I got my lazy ass out of bed and put on my blue tie-dye dress.

She had made us all lunch and a birthday cake and brought me a present. I was surprised by this. Apparently, she had been planning to come over on my b-day for about a week now so the lunch she made was well thought through. She made little wraps that were vegetarian so hubby could have some too, sandwiches veggie and non-veggie, and fresh fruit in a bowl cut up to look all fancy and pretty. She is a cool sis. We ate, sang Happy Birthday to me, and I opened presents. From Grandma and co. I got a painting I made when I was about 10 and a card with flowers on it. From Lil' Sis a gift card for AMC theaters, from hubby a Pirates card with Jonny and Orlando on the front (so hot) and it played the theme song when opened. It says, "It's your birthday, time to follow the code- grab all the fun you can and give nothing back!" So that is exactly what I did… after I watched my next present from hubby, the movie Stardust. He also got me Thrillville 2 – Off the Rails I love the first one and wanted the second one. He knows me so well.

Then I went dancing. I always want to go dancing on my birthday and this time I actually got to. One of my very best of friends took me dancing and it was a lot of fun. They played the best waltzes during one of the mixers, I saw and danced with people there I hadn't seen for a while, and I met some new friends, whom I really like. We met 2 wonderful gals who were out celebrating a birthday as well. I just met them and I already love 'em to pieces. We danced, laughed, got some birthday request songs in, and went out for food afterward. We left the dance floor around 1am or 1:30 or so but I didn't get home 'til much later. So I did what the card said. I had a great time. I did feel bad for my best friend though, wasn't having such a good day. Very sad but I had to stay positive. Tricky to stay positive when I remember some of my other b-days though but I think for the most part the day was a success. I got home smiling from ear to ear and with new friends. A successful day indeed. BTW the rest of my family called to wish me well too.

The next day I heard about Uncle J's retirement party from mom since I missed it. I thought it was in the afternoon but it was at the same time as when I went dancing. No way was I going to miss dancing on my b-day. It was a smash of a party with a live band that was really good. They had a dance floor in their living room. I am sorry I missed it but I just can't be in two places at once. Since he'd been planning his retirement since before I was born (when he was about 12 or so), I couldn't exactly ask him to make it on the 13^th instead of the 12^th. That's life. It isn't fair and I missed it but have a very big bright side with the dance I did go to. Ok I'll stop babbling now.
