So it's been a long week.
I had about 5 days off of work. It was sort of a use it or loose it type thing. So I used it the only time I was able to, since I got my vacation in late. Next time, I prolly won't go a straight 5 days unless I actually have something to do, like going someplace, or home improvements.
Thursday and Friday much time was spent doing very little, cause I was lazy. I got a call Friday morning telling me that some friends were having a party down in Kzoo. I didn't make it, I should have really tried harder. I got a call at 1am with a bunch of people singing happy birthday to me, and telling me that I was missing celebrating my birthday. This made me immeasurably sad, for quite a few days. I simply can't believe I missed not only seeing my friends, but a party for me too... sure it wasn't for me exactly, they prolly would have partied anyway, but it would have been my birthday party. I'm not the type that people usually have parties for. It still makes me very sad, but at least I don't get all girly anymore. The suckiest part is the fact this group, who are great friends, truly, will never ever let me forget it either.
I had also wanted for my B-day, to go celebrate at Dave and Busters, in Utica, but there wasn't enough interest. People wonder why I never tell em it's my birthday, to much room for disappointment.
My love tried to make me feel better, but it took some time. He finally did make me smile though, by taking me to get our first real, live Christmas tree. It helped me feel better more than I thought it would. Even with all the trips to the stores to find trimmings! So now we have a beautiful Christmas tree in our living room, that makes us both happy.
He also made me feel better by coming home early from work today and telling me he was taking me out to dinner for my birthday! Yay! Steak!
Over all... am I happy it's my birthday? No, not really, it's another year gone with nothing to show for it. But I am happy that I received some nice birthday comments on myspace and a lil extra love from my man.
