I am 30

Yesterday was my birthday. And now I am 30. It doesn't really bother me. It doesn't make sense to me to get upset about getting older. There's nothing you can do about it. But, it does amaze me that I can be 30 years old. I have seen all of the things that happened in the past 30 years. There are people who work for me that are half my age. Literally. Wow! How is it possible?

We had a fabulous day yesterday. Nice, quite, and easy. Usually there's a big party involved, so there's all the craziness that goes along. The last minute cleaning and lamenting that it's not clean enough. The worrying, the arguing. Never fails. This year, I didn't even have time to think about a party, so Bob decided to put it off a little. There will still be one, just not yet. Chris and I started the day with Starbucks and bagels. We actually sat outside at the Starbucks and looked at the paper a bit. Something we never do since we live 1/2 a mile from said Starbucks. It was totally relaxing and perfect. We kept cracking each other up. The people next to us had to be glad when we left. I am not a quiet laugher.

We spent the afternoon at Bob's house. Chris, Bob, Scooby and I went swimming at Bob's neighbor's house. Mimi came along, but stayed as far away from the pool as possible. Again, totally relaxing. We spent 2+ hours lounging in the pool. Very nice. Then, back to Bob's for food. Grilled steak. Yum. Finally, we headed off to The Lion King. It was fabulous. Just outstanding. I would go again if I could, but last night was the last one of the run. The whole thing just blew me away. I took my camera in and snuck some pictures. Just couldn't resist. We finished off the day with ice cream cake. Couldn't have been a better day. And, I still got presents. A Coach purse from Chris. The tickets from mom, plus a SB gift certificate & SB bag. All in all, it was a totally memorable day. My husband and mom are the best.

Doh! I almost forgot to mention. My crazy awesome husband made me a card. Yes, that's right, made me a card. He raided my scrap stash and hand-crafted a card with stickers and rubons and stamps. He said he had to wait until after I went to bed to finish it, and he learned that he hates rubons. According to him, "Rubons suck." Bob couldn't agree more. Too funny. And, too sweet.

By the way, we still don't know about the house. We're so tired of it all. And what with the holiday this week, who knows when we'll know. The contract says they have 10 days, and they started it June 28. So that means they have until the 7th. IF, that is, they include the weekend days. If not, they have until next week. I guess we'll find out something eventually.
