The Big Four-Ooooh…
Yes, you read that right. I turned 40 yesterday. At least that is what the math works out to, because I don’t personally believe it. I still feel about 27, or maybe 32. Definitely not 40. Or not what I thought 40 would feel like – although I did go to the orthopedic last week [...]
Add Another Candle to the Cake!
Ahhh… while Mike is still out of town for the start of my birthday day, it has still gotten off to a wonderful start. Many thanks to my Mom for the birthday lunch (a day early, as I have an engagement session today with Mercedes & Tim), to Elaine for the early birthday wishes [...]
Happy Birthday, Jason!
Posting has been light this week. It has been a bit crazy around here, and it isn’t over yet. One more week to go, as I wrap up a contract project that I’m loving – it just takes me away from blogging and other things! But I couldn’t let today go by [...]
It’s Over!
Wheeee! Fall 2006 semester is officially behind me! My Trig final yesterday was supposed to be from 12:30 – 2:20. I finished at 5:00. Yes, over 4 hours on a Trig final. However, I think I did pretty well – I won’t get the A in the class that I [...]
Birthday Wisdom…
The first thing I thought when I woke up this morning was, “What do you mean, I am 37?” It seems like only yesterday I was 23. But I’m not one of those people that freaks out about birthdays. I welcomed my 30s – I just can’t believe I am getting so [...]
On Display and the Birthday Boy…
I still can’t figure out how to send a text message along with a photo from my phone, and I can’t get it into that speed typing text mode either (something 9? Those of you that text know what I mean) so I didn’t send a full message with my photo of my photo [...]
Henry is Here!
Katie, aka BeingKatie, had her baby! Henry was born on yesterday (4/5/06), so he shares his birthday with Mike! I must say, he is quite adorable.
Congratulations to Katie & Chris! I can’t wait to meet Henry! Let me know when you want those family portraits taken!
Happy Birthday, Mike!
Today is Mike’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Mike!
I could go on and on, blabbering about how wonderful he is – because trust me, he is truly amazing. Best husband ever. Jason & I could never ask for more. However, I’m not going to go on and on about it right now because [...]
Debu_Update
A few weeks ago, I talked about Deb and the need for blood donors. Today is Deb’s New Birthday – the day of her bone marrow stem cell transplant. I snagged the update below from Manolo’s Shoe Blog – Sis #1 wrote it and sent it to Manolo, but I’m sure she wouldn’t [...]
Awww, Come On…
Really? Only 10 people have a birthday? Come on – I know more of you have birthdays! Fess up!
You Say It’s Your Birthday…
After missing Kristine with a K’s and Min Jung’s birthdays earlier this week, I’ve had enough. I’m going to make a fresh, new birthday list so that I don’t forget any more birthdays.
So, when is your birthday? Hey baby, what’s your sign? (Ok, I don’t really care that much about your sign, [...]
We Pulled it Off…
Jason got home from school today and I made him do his usual chores. He was going about things slowly, so I asked him if he wanted one of his birthday gifts early. He immediately perked up.
I put a copy of the original Splinter Cell game in a gift bag, told him to [...]
You Get What You Wish For…
Today is Jason’s birthday. He is 13. Could someone explain to me how that happened? Just how could he possibly be 13 years old? We’ve officially reached the teenage years. I can already tell it’s going to be a fun ride.
For weeks, Jason has been asking for Tom Clancy’s Splinter [...]
The Best of Intentions…
I had the best of intentions yesterday of wishing Mike, my uber-fabulous husband, a very wonderful birthday here. I had this great post composed in my mind about what an absolutely fantastic man that he is, and I am truly lucky to have him in my life.
Then the ultimate headache took over, and I [...]
Happy Birthday to my Favorite Fish!
It’s Kymberlie’s 30th Birthday! Whoo hoo! Happy Birthday, Kymberlie! 30s are the new 20s! You will love them!
Happy Birthday to Wendy, too!
Photo Matt is Finally 21…
Today is the day! Today is the day! Photo Matt is finally 21! And while I’ve never known Matt to be a drinking guy (other than Dr. Pepper), this means he can finally get into the 21 and over clubs and bars!
Happy Birthday, Matt! I hope it is a fabulous one!
(Props [...]
You’re Fancy!
My Mom’s birthday was earlier this week, and while I didn’t write about it here at the time, I couldn’t resist dedicating this song to her. She’s told me stories about how I used to sing it when I was little – I was a big Mister Rogers junkie – so I couldn’t resist. [...]
Pinpointed…
I think I figured out the melancholy mood earlier. In years past, my birthday has either fallen on a weekend, so I’ve been surrounded by family and friends, or on a weekday, and I’ve been at work with co-workers, making lunch plans with them or with friends in downtown, and so forth. This [...]
Where Are the Flowers and Balloons?
I finally changed my sidebar on my birthday. In the past, I’ve been known to change it sometimes days or weeks later, but this year I decided to do it right away. Wow, 35. It sounds a heck of a lot older than I feel. I always knew it would though [...]
Tivo, Tivo, Tivo!
I was talking yesterday about Tivo with someone that needed links – so here they are:
- TiVo Series2 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
- TiVo Series2 80-Hour Digital Video Recorder
- Linksys WUSB11 Wireless-B USB Network Adapter (Needed to make your Tivo talk to your WiFi network.)
And don’t forget – the $100 rebate for the [...]
