Happy Birthday to Me



Tuesday was my birthday. It started out well, I got a gift certificate to Dick Blick from the hubby, a few happy birthday calls and we went to the new place. We taped, tarped and painted the Pud's room a lovely lilac and our room (which has paneling, dear lord I truly hate paneling and would be happy if I never had to paint it again) a green which dried just a tad jungl-y green in 10 hours.

We did this while taking turns watching the crazy monkey two year old so it's really no surprise that I ended up throwing up and waking up with a migraine at 2 o'clock in the morning.

The next day the painter we hired to paint the living room called and told us he couldn't find the payment we had left for him. He wasn't happy. I was stressed. (it was found exactly wher we left it after much stress)

I decided that once you get past 25 birthdays are just not fun anymore.

The hubby offered to take me out to dinner Wednesday night since we didn't do anything the night before. We walked into my favorite local joint and there waiting at a large table were my closest friends and family with a lovely chocolate torte. The husbands and kiddos left after dinner and the girls hung out for a bit and had a few drinks.

Birthdays are still pretty darn cool.

I love how one could debate whether it's the frog's birthday or the little girls. It seems that birthdays make the giver and the givee pretty happy. (as long as the giver realizes that the givee really wants a surprise birthday dinner and a night away from the pud!)
