Birthday and Other Material

i am certain there is a lot to say in this post, but i can't remember most of it.  

this past friday was my birthday - and blogger was down so i was not able to "oooo" and "ahhhhh" about what i hoped to do (stupid blogger).  

 

i took off early for a dr appointment (yay, just the way to spend a birthday...) for surgery this thursday.  it was actually a good appointment, i enjoyed the intake nurses and people i interacted with.  the appointment lasted a good 2 hours, probably much shorter if i had not been talking and operating with an attitude of "having coffee with a friend".  she told me a few scary things about the surgery that i did not expect, so now i am a bit nervous.  what if i don't wake up?  what if i slip into a coma (ok that last thought is not really what i think)?  

friday i went to a sushi place with a girlfriend.  it was fantastic!  then we went and picked up another two gals and headed out to go dancing.  that was fun but i only lasted a couple of hours...  i was pretty tired.  hate the idea i don't want to go all night ;)

saturday i celebrated the entire day.  my girl friend and i went to have massages - hot stone massage actually, which was wonderful!!  i then went home and crashed for a bit, for quite a bit.  later we all got ready (well the other gal in the house... and one that joined later) and went for mexican food with a group.  had a wonderful time, got sang to, ate red velvet cake.  we were supposed to go dancing after that but i totally wussed out.  it was sad and i felt horrible for 'ruining' everyone's fun.  until the others said they were all contemplating leaving early as they were tired too.  so i did not feel too bad.  i went home and went to bed.

sunday i slept the entire day off and on.  mostly on.  i think i forced myself up around 4 so i could work on my homework that is due this wednesday.  i actually went to work so i could stay focused.  spend a couple hours there working on my paper and now i need to concentrate on getting it finished up.  

scot will be here wednesday afternoon.  i am so very excited to get him here.  i need to grab groceries and get a few more things at the house done - basically get gilbert's cage cleaned out.  i am glad he is coming.  this is a heck of an opportunity to see how we will handle, well whatever this is.  i am so ready for him to be here permanently. 

that is it for now.
