In Which I Have Passed Around the Sun 45 Times

Yep- twas my b-day today!

Good day. Slept in a bit– until my mother called to wish me a Happy Birthday at the exact time of my birth, which was in the AM! Got lots of Happy Birthday wishes from friends and LJ peeps! (Thanks ParaPi for the wee gifty and message! And VWalles for the message!)

All I did today was go for a drive and walk with my husband during the afternoon to a couple of parks set smack in the middle of pretty tree nursery country and then have Tad, Darcy, and Tess over for cake and ice cream while I opened a few presents. Nothing TOO over-the-top besides the expensive air purifier and my very first cell phone.

I have stayed away from cell phones for 2 main reasons: 1) I don’t run around a lot and its cheaper to have a land line in most places. 2) When I DO go out, I don’t want to be interrupted. I really hate hanging out with people who answer their calls when we’re socializing and ignore me and I don’t want to be one of those obnoxious people, either!

BUT–! We’re moving to a place where our internet and phone service aren’t easily bundled into some cable deal (in fact, no cable service at ALL) so we have to come up with some alternatives. We got a family phone plan with the guys and… so here I am. Finally joining the 21st century! =^D

I really really wanted to be in my new home before my birthday, but all the same I consider the house the biggest b-day gift of all. Just the change and improvement in my life is a big deal to me. We’re get there soon in any event, and then I shall truly be celebrating.

In the meantime, I shall cope as best I can in a townhome full of boxes!
