32 years down...

My birthday came and went, as all birthdays tend to do. It went really well. I only got one strange comment from a bank teller (who was the human equivalent of biting on tinfoil) who noticed from my driver's license that it was the big day and made a tsk noise and said it was all downhill from here with no trace of humor. Hmm. I choked down the compulsion to punch him in the face and smiled until my cheeks hurt. In my head I sang "Happy Birthday to me" and felt better.
The funny thing about being out doing sales for the summer is that I have to wait ALL day to go out on a date. Steve came home early (8:45), so we went to the Olive Garden. Yum. They have those in Ohio, too. Afterward, we went to the movie theater and saw Inception. It was good in a disturbing, subconscious, controlled through your dreams, Matrix-y kind of way. Leonardo DiCaprio no longer looks like I outweigh him, and that is good.
During the day, I had the best brownie I have ever had from Panera Bread. Felisha, you were so right. Panera Bread is Nirvana. The aforementioned brownie was almost black it was so full of chocolate-y goodness, it had little bits of chocolate chips, and it was the perfect amount of munchy/chewy. I inhaled it and wished after that I had gazed at it fondly and named it first. I even shared with my daughter and then wondered, guiltily, why I had.
All in all a good day.

  1. I'm glad you had a good day. And even more important I'm glad you got to spend at least a part of your day with Steve. I know how rare that is in the summer!! And I of course am going to say "I told you so" hehe but only because Panera is my FAVORITE and it almost makes moving every year worth it!!

  5. Lovely birthday report. I'd complain that you don't post often enough, but since I don't blog at all it might not wash so well.

    Hurry and come home, OK?
