Day 9: Exhausted

Luckily today was a slow day. Alexander's planes were on time. I enjoyed a relatively nice day of work, with the exception of the package fiasco - but I will deal with that frustration tomorrow.

I had dreamed of coming home and taking a nap.

That dream was not fulfilled.

Instead I become very obsessed with labeling my holiday photos. I returned the many calls from The Southern Gentleman. For a man who claims not to like talking on the phone, I finally put a fork in our call when it hit the 1 hour 15 minute mark.

Ah! The tales of the resurgence of the terrible two-some.... The Southern Gentleman and Montana Man.

Yes, you read that correctly. In addition to the many phone calls, I received a birthday card from Montana Man.

Why me?!

Tale to continue in depth tomorrow as right now it is bed time!

Day 8: Hello 35

Today I am officially 35.

What a wonderful birthday! Last night was soooo much fun! The wine was wonderful and I enjoyed good buzz. No hangover this morning *punching the air*

The music venue was jam-packed; however, we enjoyed the private VIP balcony compliments of another gal named Patsy. It was so fantastic to be surrounded by all my friends; that one aspect alone made this birthday so memorable. I loved that I couldn't take the smile off my face!

This morning Alexander and I met up with some buddies for bunch. Now the rain is on the scene. I have opened my bottle of bubbles and cannot think of a better way to savor this day!

Day 7: Winos Unite

Woo hoo!! Birthday fun commences in a few short hours. Super huge wine tasting! Apps! The Spazmatics! Fabulous friends!

I cannot wait!

Having a super hair day! Informed Alexander that he must channel his inner Tim Gunn so we can decide which fabulous dress I am going to wear tonight. Was hoping to do costume changes throughout the night but logistics are working against me. Oh well!

T-minus 2 hours and counting until the boozing commences!

Day 6: TGIF

Trying to focus my thoughts on work as opposed to about the impending weekend fun.

Tonight we will be off to the after hours museum cocktail shindig. Going to be brave and wear a cute little black mini dress with my pretty peacock shoes.

Alexander has been catching up on his sleep. Lulu is loving him to pieces; in fact, she is being a pushy pest. Luckily she is cute and sweet, which makes it easier to digest.

Day 5: Arrivals

Alexander has arrived for the weekend!

I am so thrilled he made it out here to spend my birthday with me. The fact that he came out here for me is the best present I could receive.

Funny to think that someone I met on a two week bus trip when I was 17 continues to be an important facet in my life as I turn 35.

Our lives have taken us in different directions but we have never lost each other.

Day 4: Motivation

Being under-the-weather and fresh off the holiday high, my motivation has been lacking.

ugh

Day 3: NaBloPoMo

The battle with the germs continues. I will say it does appear the battle has taken a turn in my favor as the mucus troop seems to have slowed their pursuit. Physical exhaustion continues as here it prime evening hours and I am millimeters from going to bed. So tired as I cannot draw myself a hot bath.

Continuing to give in to the urge to sleep and birthday week festivities kick off tomorrow evening. Must be in party mode! Especially for the one day a year that is all about me!

Bed. Necessary. Now.

ta-ta

Day 2: NaBloPoMo

The Computer Geek is officially out of my life. Whew!

Now give me an amen!

Prior to my leaving on holiday, I knew I was done with him as he emanated the gigantic red flashing psycho light. I did not say anything before I left because I was afraid of any repercussions during my extended absence. Since coming home, he really hasn't been on my radar until Friday when he finally sent me an email.

During my at-home mucus party, I thought about how to end things peacefully without turning him stalker in between my marathon naps. (Read: little effort). My lack of care ended in The Computer Geek deleting the welcome home note he posted on FB as well as removing me from his friend list.

It was too easy. Needless to say I am happy as the dating karma gods will not punish me for being too honest.

Day 1: NaBloPoMo

Yikes!

The first day of November is upon us.

How am I spending it?

Sick. On the couch. Sleeping too much.

Did I go to the fun Halloween party?

No. I slept. Coughed. Sneezed.

Being sick sucks. But I have to be well and ready for fun next weekend.

dreams versus reality

I'm back!

My glorious dream-of-all-dreams holiday is over. It was better than anticipated. As my 35th birthday rapidly approaches, I feel I did an excellent job of marking it with a special memory.
