Not With a Bang...

So I'm another year older and at least another year wiser. Possibly two. It's been an amazing year and I've never been happier. At work, at home, everywhere.

Today is my do-whatever-I-want day and it started out with coffee with a friend. It was fun. For lunch we go to a restaurant called Tossed before going to buy new running shoes. R would make all kinds of innuendos about that name but I'm going to leave that alone for now.

There was an incredibly cute employee at the register and I gave him a huge smile. Later I tried to tip him and the dollar wouldn't stay in the cup. I said, "It doesn't want to stay with you. I don't know why not!" I'm so funny. He was that cute, though.

And yes, before you get your puritanical panties in a bunch I told my husband all about it and we laughed and bonded. So bite me.

Then we went over to look at running shoes. Mine are wearing out and have a big hole at the left toe. R had nearly worn through his soles. He is hard on running shoes. He buys the exact same thing and doesn't even try them on. I try on several pair and run up and down their little test strip, finally settling on the familiar Saucony Oasis, pictured above. In such a beautiful blue color. I want to wear them for the 5-mile long run tomorrow but I'll wait until later to break them in. If they give me a blister I don't want to find out about it three miles from home.

Then we went to a chocolatier to buy me a bunch of dark chocolates. Mmmm. Delicious. Little Z was so good through all of this. She is amazing.

So this wasn't a funny blog post but at least you were bored by the listing of Shit I Did Today. What an amazing birthday.

Stormy

Weather killed my plans for the evening as it clogged up my path to a good friend's place. I was looking all hot, too. Very cougar-in-training. You know, for the sedate dinner and drinks we had planned. But still, I was smokin'.

Probably gonna fuck with the pool party planned for tomorrow, too. Ah well. It'll give us more time to do all the DAMN WORK that is needed around the house and the shopping for school starting that needs to be done.

And diapers.

Gotta buy diapers. Again.

There's lots of funny that I could impart here but it's eluding me at the moment. I will try to get back here with it soon.

And I should publish before our router is fried by lightning and the baby wakes screaming. Probably.

Work, Work, Work

Babies are so much work! Seriously, who signed me up for this?

Oh yeah, I remember. That bastard.

And work is so much work. Who signed me up for this?

Oh yeah, I did. I'm a bastard.

This weekend has gone by so damn fast I don't fully believe it's a real weekend but rather some time-warped freakazoid half-weekend. Those exist, don't they? I'm convinced they do.

Other than that, I'm happy. I complain a lot (I mean, it's a blog, if I didn't have anything to complain about you'd be bored stupid with me) but it's all good.

Hope you weren't caught in the time-warped half-weekend too.

8/6

Happy Birthday honey. I love you.
