Beware: this post is a mountain of randomness mostly about my birthday today and other things that are on my mind.
Yesterday, in a birthday conversation with mama she asked me if I feel any different (being another year older). I said that I didn’t feel any different than last year. She then kind of laughed. But in a kind of strange way. I don’t think what I said was haha funny. But it was kind of a secret laugh. Like a ‘ just you wait until you’re 78 years old and your kids are grown’ kind of laugh. I still don’t know what to make of it.
This morning, my cats and my husband all greeted me a happy birthday and made me feel warm and special. I would have stayed in bed with all of them for the remainder of the day and been completely content.
Today, I was treated to a feast of sugar for lunch. After a morning of meetings I didn’t have time to find regular lunch food to eat. My sweet, sweet workmates scheduled a birthday party at 12.30 so I went and ate brownies, banana chocolate chip bread, and hot chocolate with a mountain of whipped cream. It was lovely and I thought I would die from the kindness and the sugar. They all sang happy birthday which made me feel very VERY embarrassed and ready to hide under the table. I am filled with so much love for the people at my workplace who have become my friends. I have never before worked in a place surrounded by thoughtful, caring people.
I listened to the Killers in my headphones all day. The Killers make me beyond happy. My very favorite song of the moment: I can’t stay, track 7 from the Day & Age album. It’s been in heavy rotation for the last few days.
Today, Carole told everyone it was my birthday and made me feel embarrassed when people I didn’t really know awkwardly wished me a happy birthday. It was funny.
I’m wearing a new black trapeze jacket from old navy that I love a lot with a very bright pink dress – birthday gift to myself.
I’ve been doing random drawings every now and again of the Twilight peeps. This is a sketch of Esme as I picture her. I drew Carlisle but am not completely happy with it since the expression I gave him looks kind of constipated. It went into the garbage.
I’ve had the 2 same movies from netflix for a month. Holy crap! And it’s not like they’re bad movies. They’re very very fantastic movies. I haven’t gotten around to putting them in the dvd player and hitting play. What. the. hee-haw. is my problem? Have I just gotten so fat and lazy that I can’t make the effort to put a movie in and hit play rather than conveniently pressing buttons and watching streaming netflix movies on the xbox? I believe so. This I need to work on.
Everytime I sneeze and sniffle a little bit, I worry I have the swine flu. But after a minute I forget.
Lyndon just walked in the room picking his nose and I asked him if he was giving me a booger for my birthday. He said, yes.
Really, I haven’t been watching my netflix movies because I’m busy devoting over 50 hours (wtf!) game time to this game. And I’m going to continue staying up late and playing even tonight.
Tonight, I’ll be dining at a lovely french restaurant called Campagne. I’m excited and ready. I’ve starved myself all day (aside from all the sugar) to devote all my attention to the fantastic french cuisine I am about to consume.
There’ll be more to come, I’m sure.
