Bitter Sweet

Ahhhh, what better thing to do on your birthday than to blog? Well, I can't really say it's going to top the hot date tonight I have with my hubby for some Sushi dinner, but for now, as I wait until that time, this will have to do. So, far it's just your ordinary day. Got up, before I was ready ( which I'm never ready )took Andrew to school, met my Grandma for some breakfast at Crepe Escape, and then headed back for my Costco trip. My Grandmother, as an extended birthday present, offered to follow me back to the house and watch Luke while I go. Hey! I'm a simple girl, or so I like to think. And if she wants to watch Luke for me so I can go to Costco alone ( key word ) Then I'll take it! It's hard to get the shopping done when I have a monkey in the front of the cart constantly trying to escape! If I time it right, I can get there when the sample's start, and that usually helps tame him only long enough. That and the occasionally conversation with the adorable elderly lady who thinks he is the cutest thing.

Anyways, totally getting off  track here. I can't say that I feel a day older. That is normally one of the things that people ask, " So, do you feel any older" No! Thank god. I don't feel any older than I did at 11pm last night. But I can say I learn something new on this 27th year I celebrate life. Don't get me wrong here. I don't expect every person I know to stop what they have planned today, call me and wish me a Happy Birthday. Lord knows I can barely remember to call my Mom. But it amazes me the people who did take the time to say Happy Birthday. Either leaving me a message or comment via Myspace or Facebook, or even sending me an email! But what most of the people have in common that actually did one of the above, is I either hardly know them on a personal level or I have just got to know over the recent months/year. Andrew's T-ball coach, actually sent me an email. I was thrown and thought it was the most thoughtful thing ever! Maybe it's silly that I am thinking so much about this? But, really folks.. I have aunts and Uncle's that don't email or call me, and here I have new friends  (or blogger buddies) I have known months or even less sending me the sweetest messages. My neighbor even sent me a message! It really warms my heart. As cheeseball-ish as it sounds, it does! And I replied to each and every one of them personally! It makes my efforts of trying to meet new people and making new friends, and simply buying a house in a new neighborhood and meeting tons of wonderful new people so awesome!  I am not sure if anyone may know what I mean by saying all that or know how great it feels. But apart of blogging is being able to express yourself and get your thoughts down, so I did! =) It's all really bitter sweet!

As for this evening, Hubby is taking out for a Sushi dinner ( per request ) I recruited our niece around the corner to come and watch Andrew. It's going to be a first, and I am have no doubts it will go well. And if it does, we may just need to use her more often and see some movies! Thanks Bianca! =D
