Only Two More Shopping Days
Till my birthday! That’s right, folks! There’s still time to make a mad dash to the mall for yours truly!
Just kidding. Actually, I’m not. My birthday really is on Wednesday (that’s Feb 1, not the 2nd, which is groundhog day and noIamnotagroundhogthankyouverymuch!). I’m usally a Super Brat about my birthday and don’t stop obsessing over it until three weeks after the fact. But not this year. I don’t know what it is. I am turning 30 but I am in absolutely no way depressed about it. I am very happy with my life the way it is now (except for this stomach pain BS!) and I’m glad to put my twenties behind me. I think maybe I’m mellow and quiet about my birthday cause I’ve been so sick the past week. I just haven’t felt up to doing much of anything, let alone acting like a spoiled brat. Today is the first day that I feel somewhat normal so I’m getting on with my life, pain or no pain.
However, you’ll be glad to know that I have properly trained Honey over the years on How To Tackle Garnet’s Birthday. So I can rest assured that things will not be disappointing! He’s taking Friday off from work (as am I) and we are going to hang out together. Then Friday night he’s got a big dinner party planned at one of my favoritests seafood restaurants in town (Pappadeaux). Some of my family and closest friends and co-workers will be there! I’m so excited! This is like my only chance to gorge on seafood! (Since July in Hilton Head, when I totally OD’d on crab legs!) Weeeeeeeee!
I do have a couple of non-birthday related items to tell you about…
My Honey bought a brand new truck. He traded in his 2000 Nissan XTerra for a 2006 Toyota Tacoma Off Road truck. He’s working on putting a lift kit on it soon. I’ll post pictures ASAP.
My Astronomy class is blowing my freaking mind! I am having so much trouble grasping the fact that there are billions of galaxies, stars, black holes, etc in our universe! These time/space calculations are just unfathomable to me! But interesting none the less!
Honey and I have been cooperatively playing PS2 games lately. We just finished Baulder’s Gate and began Champions of Norrath last night. I know, one wonders how I have time in my life to play these games?! I make time, baby. I make time!
I saw James Frey on Oprah the other day (and then again on her After the Show show). He completely pissed me off. What a sleezy snake he is! He’s got no balls and he sounds like a 10 year old when he talks. My opinion is that he either fried a few thousand too many brain cells when he was smoking all that crack or he’s just a downright dumbass dirty liar. I still liked the book but I seriously think Oprah should revoke her Book Club seal of approval until it’s moved from the MEMOIR/NONFICTION to FICTION/LITERATURE section of the bookstores and libraries across the country. *climbing down from soapbox now*
